BIO
Matt’s approach to counseling is shaped by the wide range of life experiences he had before becoming a therapist. He’s worked as a Wilderness Ranger, Dog Mushing Guide, Organic Farm Hand, Ski Lift Operator, and Musician, all roles that taught him to listen closely, adapt to unpredictable situations, and value the richness of introspection and connection. These experiences bring a natural sense of curiosity, metaphor, and creativity to his work as a therapist. Whether drawing from nature, music or everyday life, Matt often uses imagery and storytelling to help clients make sense of their inner world in a way that feels relatable and grounded.
At the heart of Matt’s style is a deep respect for each client’s unique pace and process. He doesn’t rush or push; instead, he explores their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. His therapy is rooted in collaboration, acceptance, truth, and practical skills. Matt works with clients to gently uncover what’s not working, identify patterns, and recognize hidden potential and strengths that can serve as the foundation for meaningful change. His goal is to respect what’s being said, help navigate challenges with clarity and compassion, and support the person in creating a life that feels more meaningful.
