Bruce is a Registered Counselling Therapist with the Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists (NSCCT), and a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO); a member of the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals (OAMHP); and is working towards Certification with the Canadian Association for Spiritual Care (CASC/ACSS).
“After dedicating 35 years to one career, I felt an undeniable pull to embark on a new chapter of life. Returning to university as a mature student was both exciting and humbling—it invited me to reexamine everything I thought I knew. I chose to focus on Psychotherapy and Psychospiritual Care, disciplines that were instrumental in supporting me through my own challenges. Now, my life feels infused with a fresh sense of meaning and purpose. Change, though often intimidating, is an integral part of our human journey. Together, we can not only navigate it but learn to embrace it with resilience and confidence.”
We all need access to the compassionate presence of another. The work we do together will be free-from-judgement and will invite the kind of bravery that only comes as trust is built.
In my clinical work, I use an integrative, client centred approach in the treatment of addiction, aging, anxiety, body, gender identity and sexuality, career change / career stress, depression, eating disorders, family issues, porn addiction, relationship issues, sexual abuse, sexual problems, and trauma.
Together we will explore which modalities best suits your needs: Attachment Theory; Emotion Focused Therapy (EFS / IFIOS); Existential Psychotherapy; Family Systems & Structural Family Systems Therapy; Internal Family Systems (IFS); Narrative Therapy; Psychospiritual Care; Sex Therapy; Somatic Awareness; and / or Trauma-Related Dissociation interventions.
My master’s degree in intercultural psychotherapy and multi-faith psychospiritual care (Knox College, University of Toronto) has brought to my practice a cross-cultural, all-faith awareness of the effect that cultural and spiritual experience may have one’s overall wellbeing. Our spiritual experience may support us, it may undermine us. If cultural, religious, or spiritual experience are important to your life, they can be part of your healing.
I am known for my work in the performing arts for bringing awareness to issues of addiction, childhood trauma, eating disorders, gender identity and experience, mental health issues, and 2SLGBTQIAP+ dynamics. I continue to serve as a supporting member of outACTRAto (ACTRA) and the Association of Acting Coaches and Educators (AACE) in promoting advocacy for social, physical, and emotional safety in the performing arts and performing arts training.
