I have the privilege and distinction of being recognized as a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW). I received A Bachelor of Social Work degree, as well as a Master of Social Work (MSW) Degree from Laurier University in Kitchener, Ontario.
My career spans a period of approximately 12 years and counting, during which time I have worked in various community settings and with countless individuals who have experienced overwhelming conditions and experiences in their lifetimes. I am a dedicated and focused practitioner, having enhanced his practice through development and use of such clinical modalities as Trauma Informed Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Over the course of my career, I have worked with adolescents, adults, and groups, with a singular focus upon improving quality of life and wellness for all my clients.
During the years of my practice as a children’s mental health clinician, I have worked with individuals who have been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) to name a few.
I have spent countless hours focusing upon areas of behaviour modification, emotion regulation, relationships, trauma, stress management, and reconciliation. Topics which have often been discussed during therapy include anger, loss, resentment, fear, loneliness, and mistrust. I do my best to instill hope and optimism in my clients, to achieve the best possible outcomes for themselves and their loved ones.
In my free time, I like to spend time with family and friends at the cottage, hiking and reading.
