Colin supports all youth, including the LGBTQ2+ community, with his scope of practice focusing on boys and young men in transitionary periods of life. 

His reflective practice supports anti-oppressive and trauma informed foundations. His style of therapy stems from a family systems approach and is rooted in attachment- it is important to Colin that there is a relationship, for people to feel safe, seen, and secure. Colin holds a space that is experiential, where people have a sense of control.

He has a quilted approach, patching in various tools from his formal training, incorporating both western and indigenous ways of knowing. Colin often incorporates humour, art, storytelling, mindfulness, games, food, the outdoors, family networks, and cultural/ spiritual resources in therapy. He works with people in a collaborative and creative way. For someone who needs support with furthering their wellness Colin is a caring professional who has a strong foundation.

The majority of Colin's career is based around serving vulnerable youth in rural indigenous communities. His experience lies within Child and Youth Mental Health, Child welfare systems and Island Health. Colin has been involved with advocacy, treatment planning, Complex Developmental Trauma, Psychosis, Mood Disorders, Suicide Assessment/ safety planning, Self-Harm, and Substance Use.

He has formal training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy- Youth Centered (DBT-Y), Emotional Family Focused Therapy (EFFT), Early Psychosis Intervention (EPI), Trauma Informed Care, Cultural Safety Trainings and Narrative Therapy.
