If you’re here, you’re probably looking for someone who just gets it—someone who can hold space for the hard stuff, who knows healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and who can help you come home to yourself.

Neil is a Registered Social Worker with over 25 years of experience supporting people through some of life’s most intense seasons. After a long and impactful career at Youth Services Bureau, he brings both deep expertise and a calm, grounding energy to his therapy work. There’s just something special about a therapist who’s lived it, seen it, and still shows up with humour, heart, and a fierce commitment to community care.

Neil works with adults, young people and families across Ottawa and beyond. His style is integrative, collaborative, and rooted in trauma-informed practice. While he draws from multiple approaches—including Internal Family Systems (IFS), DBT, CBT, narrative, and feminist therapies—his priority is always relationship first: building real therapeutic connection and tailoring support to fit each individual or family.

Neil enjoys working with clients from all walks of life, especially those navigating the ripple effects of trauma, attachment wounds, and everyday life stressors. He’s comfortable and experienced in supporting neurodiverse folks (including ADHD and learning disabilities), and brings a strengths-based lens to help you understand yourself more deeply, discover practical tools for self-care, and begin to integrate the parts of your story that feel hard to hold alone. He’s also part of the team at Field Trip Health in Ottawa, where he offers Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) as part of a multidisciplinary care model. If you're exploring psychedelic-assisted therapy as part of your healing journey, this might be the therapist to support you along this transformative path.

Whether you're burnt out, wrestling with grief, reworking relationships, or just ready to stop carrying it all on your own—Neil offers a space where you don’t have to explain yourself, hide parts of your story, or figure it allout right away.
