Nature, New Beginnings, and Nourishing Spaces: A Welcome to James

Hi folks! My name is James and I’m excited to be joining the team at CPYC!

My partner and I moved up to the Collingwood area from Toronto in the spring and we are enjoying the gentler pace and greater access to nature – we are both big lovers of the outdoors. We welcomed our first child in mid-September and have been riding the waves of delight and exhaustion that come with a newborn. We are so in love with our sweet little boy – as is his wider circle of family and friends!

I graduated from the University of Toronto in May with a Master of Psychospiritual Studies and soon thereafter became a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with CRPO. In late August I finished my work with a United Church in Toronto, after serving eight years there alongside my studies for two master’s degrees. Working as the Pastoral Care Ministry Lead at the church, I had lots of opportunity to support people through various crises and life transitions. 

It is a privilege and honour to support folks as they work through the beautiful struggle of transformation. I am eager to continue this work in a new setting, learning and growing along with clients as we co-create nourishing and healing space together.

Please feel free to read through my profile on the CPYC website  to learn more about me and my therapeutic approach. If you are curious about working together or have any questions, please reach out – I would love to hear from you.

Peace for now!

James
