Originally from Winnipeg, Harv spent his formative years in the beautiful Abbotsford region of British Columbia. After completing his Bible School education, he returned to Manitoba and earned a Master of Divinity degree from Briercrest Seminary. For about 15 years, Harv served as a dedicated pastor, walking alongside individuals and families through life’s joys and challenges.

Motivated by a desire to deepen his understanding of relationships and emotional wellbeing, Harv later completed a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, also from Briercrest Seminary. Since then, he has worked extensively in clinical counselling, supporting individuals, couples, and families with compassion and skill.

Harv is trained in the Hope Restored program, previously working with Focus on the Family Canada to provide intensive marriage therapy. His professional background is complemented by over 25 years of marriage and experience as a parent, giving him a grounded perspective on family dynamics.

Drawing from approaches such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Integrative Marital Intensive Therapy, Harv helps clients rediscover hope and healing in their relationships. He is a Certified Professional Counsellor with the Professional Association of Christian Counsellors and Psychotherapists and serves clients at Pembina Counselling Centre’s Morden and Altona offices.
