ABOUT MATT

Matthew (Matt) (he/him) comes with over 15 years of experience in the mental health and addictions field. Matt prefers an eclectic and integrative psychotherapeutic approach to meet individualized needs and believes in the importance of building client capacity to manage symptoms through the course of treatment.

Matt is a basic accelerated resolution therapy (ART) trained therapist, which is an effective treatment for trauma, depression, and other mental health concerns. Matt's practice is guided through a trauma and a polyvagal-informed lens.

Matt offers optional non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) to compliment psychotherapy sessions. Dolphin VNS uses microcurrent to activate the parasympathetic nervous system to help decrease stress, which also might provide improvements in other areas (e.g., mood, sleep, digestion, respiration).

They say that "laughter is the best medicine." Matt is known for his sense of humour and has a knack for dad jokes, so please do not be surprised if these show up in session. Psychotherapy is difficult enough, and Matt is happy to provide a laugh or two.
