Hi, I’m Max.
I grew up in Canada with a strong sense of trustworthy community, and was surrounded by relationships with big heart. After 20 years living in the US, I’ve woven together my childhood background with a life long study of the psychology of fulfilling and healthy relationships. I am a father, and have an incredible long term romantic partner.
I have graduate training in humanistic, and transpersonal counseling psychology. I have worked in a clinical, and private setting with clients for 15 years.
As well as a psychotherapy practice, I’ve taught workshops to the public, and to incarcerated people in prison for 3 years.
My drive is to help people build better empathy, communication, and conflict transformation skills, bettering their relationships.
I believe healthy, wholesome relationships are crucial to living a fulfilling, and meaningful life.
My work is very pragmatic, it’s broken down in to simple concrete tools that can make your relationships better. Along with clear explanation, I use handouts, and group experiences based in play and experimentation to anchor what you are learning.
