Message to clients

Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow.

You might be initially hesitant to seek out help and support for personal matters, but when you do, you will feel confident that you are taking a courageous first step towards getting to a better place and being a better you.

My practice specializes in treating individuals, couples and families, and through years of experience, I’m confident that no problem is too great to overcome. Through therapy, there is always a way to address the issues you face and learn coping strategies to help you both right now and in the future.

If you or someone you know is suffering with addictive behavior, daily life struggles, past trauma or just not sure where life is taking you then you have come to the right person. Why not make that call today for a free consultation and begin your road to recovery?

Client testimonials

"Great guy."
- Zencare client • November 2023
"Line of details of his modalities were explained and assured a comfortable welcome."
- Zencare client • March 2022
"Kenneth was very professional and discussed his experience and background. He said we needed to talk so I could determine if we would be a good fit for therapy sessions."
- Zencare client • March 2022
"Kenneth was an optimal listener and provided an amazing experience. The consultation was ten minutes and that was all I needed. He gave me an appointment the same day for our first session because he seemed like such a good fit and I have such a tight schedule. He helped me explore my own trauma and allowed me to guide myself through it while providing the necessary nudges along the way in a comfortable manner. Never overstepping. He did the exact amount that was needed for me to open up about my experiences. Even though my session was so late in the day he was still alert and aware and completely engaged. I look forward to working with him on my journey of recovery for both mental health and addiction. All of this and it was only our first session. He has over 35yrs of experience and just recently opened his own private practice and for anybody else in the future I would highly recommend giving him a chance."
