He became a Registered Psychologist in both Québec and Ontario. Richard has worked in prisons, hospitals, youth protection services and in various other organizations.

Richard is currently registered in clinical, school and counselling psychology in the province of Ontario. He has extended his studies in positive psychology and in leadership through Cornell, York and Wilfrid Laurier Universities.  
Richard has always been drawn to understand family system theories and relationship dynamics while focussing on the intricacies of languages and cultures in his helping role. Through both his school board and private practice experiences he has been in service to families in Eastern Ontario and across Canada. Richard is drawn to help families in need and his focus is at exploring concepts of vulnerability and the expression of human emotions. He feels that an understanding of sensitivity and respect of an individual`s expression of feelings is crucial in the development of all relationships. 
Richard works from a culturally affirming lens with families while respecting equity, diversity and Inclusion perspectives. He currently lives in Ottawa and is passionate about forwarding the attachment-based developmental approach that has added depth and enrichment to his work as a helping professional, in promoting safety in schools as a leader, as a loving husband and a father of two sons.
