November 7, 2025Christopher is a Registered Social Worker based in Penticton, British Columbia. His professional background spans health and social care organizations across Canada, where he has served in both direct service and leadership roles. Throughout his career, Christopher has remained deeply committed to supporting individuals and families as they navigate life’s challenges. Returning to counselling has felt like coming home—an opportunity to reconnect with the work that inspires and fulfills him most.
Christopher’s therapeutic approach is warm, supportive, and honest. He strives to create a safe and welcoming space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. Grounded in principles of compassion and collaboration, his practice focuses on helping clients explore their options, uncover their strengths, and move toward healing and growth in ways that feel meaningful and right for them.
He holds a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Windsor and a Bachelor of Social Work degree from the University of Calgary. In addition to his clinical practice, Christopher is actively involved in volunteering both within the community and with professional regulatory bodies, reflecting his ongoing commitment to ethical practice and community well-being.
Having moved to Penticton with his family a few years ago, Christopher has embraced the Okanagan lifestyle and community. When not counselling, he enjoys walking the local trails, downhill skiing, and pursuing his love of music, art, and photography, often capturing the region’s stunning landscapes and vibrant life through his lens.
