A PERSONAL QUOTE 

“You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress simultaneously.” – Sophia Bush

BIO 

You don’t have to go through it alone. I believe healing begins in welcoming, honest spaces where you feel seen, supported, and accepted — exactly as you are. Having lived across different countries and cultures, and navigated my own share of life’s trials, I bring compassion, lived perspective, and cultural responsiveness into every session. My work is grounded in empathy, emotional safety, and a strong belief in each person’s capacity for growth — and in making sure no one feels alone in their healing journey. I integrate evidence-based modalities with a warm, humanistic approach to help clients feel connected, empowered, and gently guided toward meaningful change.

“It’s not the case that people can just walk in off the street, sit down, and develop mindfulness. It takes the ability to look at your life and make some decisions about how you’re going to live, and how you understand the best way of living. That’s when mindfulness has a chance” -Thanissaro Bhikkhu

 Bio  

Hi, I’m Matt and I am based in Toronto. Most of my therapeutic focus is in Mindfulness based approaches, utilizing Buddhist psychology to inform my practice and helping clients from different backgrounds. I also borrow from a variety of different methods including DBT, IFS and SFBT in order to have a more balanced set of skills to find what is most suitable for each specific person. As a therapist, I lead with compassion in order to collaboratively discover the best goals and best roadmaps for each patient I work with as a team.
