My journey into this field began unconventionally, starting with a career in corporate accounting. I gained valuable skills but discovered it did not provide the deep fulfillment I sought. This prompted a transformative journey of self-reflection, leading me to roles at SickKids Hospital and Distress Centres of Greater Toronto. In these roles, I discovered meaning in supporting people through their most vulnerable moments, and the impact this connection can have.
With a newfound sense of purpose, I returned to school. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychotherapy and Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, and continuously pursue professional development to ensure I provide you with the highest quality of care.
Beyond therapy, I have a deep enthusiasm for travel, immersing myself in science fiction books, and challenging my comfort zone with new experiences, such as improv comedy. Being a committed husband and a proud dog parent, I appreciate the significance of cultivating connections and discovering joy in the pleasures of daily existence.
Central to my method is exploring the impact of our past on present experiences, fostering a deep understanding essential for personal growth. Emphasizing the therapeutic relationship as a cornerstone, I create a safe space where trust and collaboration thrive. Additionally, I equip clients with practical tools that extend beyond our sessions, empowering them to implement positive changes in their daily lives.
