I have a Master of Counselling Psychology degree from Curtin University in Western Australia and an Advanced Diploma in Art Therapy from the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute. I have 21 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in a variety of settings including community counselling, outpatient adult mental health, and inpatient psychiatry. I have experience and training working with gender identity and sexuality, and I am an approved First Nations Health Authority provider.

I am a bi-racial (Black-Jamaican and White-Canadian) cisgender man. Growing up in a culturally diverse family has taught me a lot about cultural differences, traditions, language, and the impact of colonialism, which has allowed me to feel very comfortable working with any culture or ethnicity. I am a parent of two wonderful kids, one in high school and one in elementary school, and I am the spouse of a first responder. I have played multiple sports in my life but eventually focused on rugby and 35 years later, I am still playing. I'm a fan of tattoos; I have a number of them that hold special meaning for me. I work hard to be a genuine, kind, and transparent person in the world.
