I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (2009) and a Bachelor of Education in Social Sciences (2013), both from the University of Victoria, and a Master of Education in Adult Counselling and Psychotherapy (2016) from the University of Toronto. I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association, and an Ontario Validated Clinical Supervisor (OVCS) with the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals. I am also a certified teacher in Ontario, British Columbia, and the Yukon.

Raised in Prince Edward County and now practicing in Toronto, I bring a cross-regional perspective shaped by clinical work in urban and rural settings across Canada. My experience includes supporting inner-city populations, adult survivors of childhood trauma, and members of the LGBTQQ2S+ community. As a gay man, I am passionate about creating a therapeutic environment rooted in safety, affirmation, and emotional resonance – where clients feel heard, seen, and valued.

I practice from a collaborative, integrative approach informed by Attachment Theory, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, and Somatic modalities. My clinical work focuses primarily on adult clients (ages 21–85+), with presenting concerns including complex trauma, cPTSD / PTSD, depression and anxiety, gender/sexuality-related experiences, in addition to identity and relational challenges.
