Co-supervised by: Michael Dougan, RP & Julie Burnett, RSW
Whether you’re a guy trying to make sense of those weird things called feelings, rebuilding after a relationship that left you feeling completely derailed, an athlete facing performance pressure, or a young adult burnt out from relentless expectations—Connor brings a steady, gentle, and down-to-earth space where you can drop the mask, unhook from the noise in your head, and figure out what comes next.
A Real, Unfiltered Space to
Find Balance & Take Action
I may be different from what you expect to see in a therapist. I stutter, I lose my train of thought, and sometimes need to be reminded to speak up. I am imperfect, and that is exactly what makes me so well-equipped to support you.
I’ve walked my own convoluted path to get here. By drawing on wisdom from my lived experiences, my time in competitive sports, clinical research, and being on the client side of therapy, I come to every session ready to support you through life's real moments.
Instead of spending all your energy trying to fight or fix negative thoughts, therapy with me is about learning to change your relationship with them. We use practical, mindfulness-based strategies to stop letting anxiety, grief, or imposter syndrome run the show. This is a judgment-free space where you can drop the mask, clarify your personal values, and build real-world resilience on and off the field.

When I began my Masters I started to research and learn about how to best support students as they transition to university, emphasizing the importance of building upon social support.
I was then able to take all my experience and knowledge and apply it to my practicum at the From Intention to Action (FITA) program at Carleton University, where I supported students facing challenges like, sports and performance anxiety, ADHD concerns, academic stress, depression, grief, and interpersonal difficulties.
My work at FITA focused on promoting agency, building self-compassion and mindfulness, and helping my clients to develop the skills to stand on their own.
In my free time you’ll likely find me listening to music, playing the guitar or struggling to learn the piano, playing video games on my own, with friends, or with family, campaigning in D&D and Daggerheart, watching true crime documentaries, anime, medical dramas. I also love watching hockey, cheering for my favourite teams or booing the refs for a missed call. I love being active, whether it’s running, climbing, skating on the canal, playing sports, or exercising. I hope this gives you a better idea of what it might be like to work with me and I look forward to getting the chance to know you better too!
