Life is a journey of growth and change. And no matter how daunting the change, or painful the growth, we deserve to be supported on that journey.

This might include mental health, trauma, major life transitions, and identity exploration. Wherever you are on your journey, we can get to the next step together.

Many individuals I work with are seeking clarity, healing, or trying to manage difficult situations in their life.

I provide the tools to cope: make sense of what is occurring in your life and help you discover answers, that are already within you. I specialize in relationships, addiction, grief, mental health, trauma and first/second generation Canadians.

We all deserve a supportive space in our lives. My goal is to create a safe environment to help you organize and understand your thoughts and emotions— whilst building a healthy relationship with yourself. My practice is influenced by the belief that with compassion, guidance and self awareness, we have the ability to control how we see ourselves and navigate our experiences.

Hey, I’m Matt. I'm an optimist. Life is tragic, perplexing, lonely, overwhelming and beautiful beyond imagination. I don't think there is anything more important than feeling understood, trusted, and not alone on this journey. That's why I'm here. Therapy can be an integral experience to make sense of yourself, your story, and where you're heading. We will work together to develop a trusted relationship in the context of healing and growth. I work under the supervision of Dr. Joseph De Leo at the Centre for Compassionate Care (C3), offering integrative mental health support to clients.

You've only got this life. If you are struggling, reach out. We are social beings and when we connect with each other life is a little better. Growth and change is an inside job. I believe there is a wisdom within you. I strive to turn you toward your inner strength and build a connection with yourself. When we feel a strong connection, we stop allowing the external world to impact how we feel and navigate. Our internal connection deepens all of your relationships and you begin to experience the intimacy you are seeking.
