Our Team

Mr. Josh


OTD, OTR/L

Pediatric Occupational Therapist

Joshua has always enjoyed working with children, from his time as a YMCA camp counselor and Child and Youth team member to volunteering and working at a special needs elementary and middle school in Toronto. It was through this experience that Joshua discovered occupational therapy and developed a passion for helping children participate in the activities that are meaningful to them. 


Joshua enjoys incorporating games, movement, and play into therapy to help children develop skills in ways that feel natural and motivating. His background in kinesiology and health promotion gives him a strong foundation in movement, physical activity, and whole-body wellness, which he brings into his pediatric practice. He has clinical experience in early intervention with infants and toddlers ages 0–3, partnering with families to support sensory processing, development, and participation in everyday activities.


Joshua also serves as an adjunct instructor for occupational therapy students, helping bridge the gap between the classroom and becoming a new clinician. Having recently gone through the same program himself, he enjoys helping students connect challenging OT concepts and evidence-based practice to real-world clinical situations. Joshua is passionate about creating a supportive and fun environment where children can build confidence, develop their strengths, and participate in the activities that matter most to them and their families.
