Hello, I’m Jorge, a Registered Clinical Counsellor with nearly 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples, children, youth, and families. Today, I am proud to be part of the Gather & Ground team, offering my knowledge and support to those navigating life's challenges.

I believe we all face moments where we struggle to find meaning and fulfillment in our lives and relationships. During these times, it can be hard to show up fully—whether at work, with our kids, or in our personal lives—as we are pulled in many directions. These challenges can leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, frustrated, and sometimes even resigned or depressed.

While we often recognize our big emotions, we may feel confused or stuck, unable to shift gears toward a better emotional space. It’s common to be curious about how we got here, but unsure of where to begin or how to move forward. That’s where I come in. Counselling is a powerful and exciting journey of self-discovery. When we approach life’s complexities and uncertainties with curiosity and the right support, this journey opens new possibilities.

My approach to counselling starts with building a strong therapeutic connection. As trust grows and you feel comfortable discussing personal, often sensitive topics, we’ll begin to unpack and examine the emotional weight you’ve been carrying. Not everything you carry is necessary.

Through a balanced blend of validation, empathy, and timely, gentle challenge, we’ll explore different areas of your life. I like to think of myself as holding a flashlight, illuminating the parts of your life that may have stayed in the shadows for too long. Discovering what lies in those dark corners offers incredible opportunities to understand, recalibrate, take accountability, forgive, express gratitude, and move forward.

By exploring past injuries and resentments as well as current triggers, habits and struggles we gain the tools to navigate the winding roads of life. And remember - those winding roads can lead to marvelous and magical places. It would be my privilege to sit beside you as your navigator during the challenging stretches of your life’s journey.
