As a therapist, he provides individual and family therapy and case management, facilitates group therapy, and gives educational lectures.

He came to Caron in 2004 as a counselor assistant and then moved in 2008 into a position as a counselor on various units. He spent three years in the Recreation Department before taking on his current job in 2020.

The most important work we do at Caron is to plant seeds of hope."
