Larry has worked for over thirty years counselling individuals, couples and families, whether as a congregational clergy, or as a clinician in private therapy practices, hospitals, prisons, and nursing homes. In times of sickness, loss, emotional pain and relationship stress he has brought families hope and meaning with his warmth, compassion and insight.

At the heart of all Larry’s work is a client-centered approach which emphasizes respect, authenticity and acceptance. Larry is passionate about helping families and couples and works mindfully to help them transform their lives together. He supports individual clients in enhancing self-esteem, healing through loss, and finding solutions to life’s heavy problems.

Larry uses a variety of current therapeutic models. With couples, Larry draws on the Gottman Relationship Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy. With individuals Larry utilizes Schema, Acceptance-Commitment, Solution Focused, Narrative and Logotherapy.

Most importantly, Larry’s work is informed by his own personal life challenges, including separation and divorce, blended family life, aging parents, loss through death, parenting teenagers, and career change. Larry welcomes people of all faiths, world views and backgrounds, ages and sexual orientations. When Larry is not counselling he is riding his bike, running a half marathon, reading at Aroma or visiting his nine grandchildren.
