Hello, and welcome to my little corner of the internet!
I’m Tony, a Canadian social worker and therapist with a decade-long journey in aiding people with navigating life’s challenges through my practice practice, writing, and teaching.
Specializing in sleep disorders, I dive deep into the realms of insomnia and nightmares, hoping to help more people and communities find restful nights.
But my work is just one part of who I am. I’m an explorer of new ideas and technology, always looking for creative solutions and innovative concepts to challenges big and small.
My colleagues affectionately call me “Tech Tony” for my knack for hyper-focusing on ideas and solutions (a strength of adult ADHD!), and I’m working on letting go of perfectionism and analysis paralysis that sometimes holds me back.
One of my favourite quotes that capture my philosophy in life:
If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.
Jack Kornfield
On this website, I aim to share insights and ideas to live with more compassion, curiosity, and kindness. I believe in the profound impact of domains like sleep on overall well-being.
I’m passionate about illustrating how personal experiences intertwine with larger social structures and taking the pressure off everything being a “you” problem – P.S. it’s not.
I hope to inspire others to approach life with a sense of wonder, recognizing the importance of compassion in navigating our complex world.
As you explore this site, I hope you feel welcome and ignited with curiosity and will join me on a journey of learning, growing, and transforming how we interact with ourselves and our communities.
With kindness,
Tony
