Meet Grant
Grant is a Registered Provisional Psychologist with more than 19 years of experience working with adults, children, teens and families across Child and Family Services, First Nations communities, schools, court systems and first-responder settings.
Grant works with children and teens ages 8+, including neurodivergent young people. He helps them navigate anxiety, emotional regulation, confidence, school pressures, social challenges, family changes and the everyday difficulties that can come with growing up. His calm, approachable style helps young people feel comfortable being themselves while developing strategies that work for them.
He also works closely with parents who may be struggling to understand what their child needs or how best to help. Grant offers practical guidance around emotions, behaviour, communication, neurodivergence and family dynamics, helping parents feel more confident supporting their child at home and through challenging periods.
Grant also works with men navigating stress, burnout, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges and major life transitions. Before becoming a therapist, he spent nearly a decade as a first responder, giving him firsthand insight into the pressure and emotional weight that can come with being the person others rely on.
He understands that asking for help may not come naturally—especially when you are used to staying composed, solving problems and pushing through difficult situations. His approach is relaxed, straightforward and practical, creating space to speak honestly without judgment or pressure.
Whether he is working with a young person, parent or adult, Grant’s goal is to help people better understand what they are experiencing and feel more confident about what comes next.
