I’m a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University. Since 2019, I’ve worked in Social Services across schools, hospitals, group homes, community mental health, emergency rooms, crisis response teams, psychedelic assisted therapy and private practice. I’ve supported a variety of populations and worked directly with both the OPP and Hospitals across Huron and Perth County. These experiences have shaped my deep understanding of high-stress environments and the emotional toll they take.
I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and burnout — with a focus (but not limited) on healthcare and social service workers, first responders, men’s mental health, youth, and residents of rural communities. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Originally from rural Perth County, I was drawn to this work through my own personal experience with adverse mental health. I strive to create a down to earth and honest space where clients feel empowered to grow and reconnect with what matters most in their lives.
Outside of work, I spend my time with my wife, daughter, and our two dogs. I stay active through Martial Arts such as Boxing, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, weightlifting, running, and spending time outdoors — especially backcountry camping and fishing.
