Grief Therapists in Ottawa, ON

I have been in the field of mental health for about 6 years now, and worked across many settings, including crisis lines, counselling centres, private practice, and hospital settings. I typically take on an integrational and evidence-based approach to therapy, where I combine elements of person-centred therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and parts work.

I am accepting new clients and offer services virtually. My approach to therapy is heavily influenced by my coach and leadership training - it's a results driven approach to therapy. I specialize in trauma and anxiety related disorders including PTSD, social anxiety and generalized anxiety. I offer supervision consultation for psychotherapists in training and workshops for educators.

Life events and experiences are ongoing, and sometimes we are in a position where things may not go as we planned. If you are looking for help in dealing with distressing, difficult or unavoidable frustrations, it is the best time for you to speak to someone to gain some insight into these challenges. I appreciate your courage and applaud you for taking this first step to reach out.

Working to face the personal, emotional, and relationship challenges you are dealing with is admirable; I commend you for taking the first step toward improving your life and your relationships! In therapy, I work with adults facing a number of difficulties related to mood, anxiety, trauma, loss, relationships, personality, life-transition, and self-growth.

Throughout the course of our lives, we are faced with difficult life experiences that disrupt our sense of self, our relationships with others, and sense of well-being. Through my practice and training as a psychologist, I have come to appreciate that the process of self-discovery and learning in a non-judgemental and collaborative therapeutic space can lead to deep healing and self-empowerment.

I appreciate you taking the step towards looking after yourself. It takes immense courage whether you are seeking support for the first time or returning to therapy. I wish to support you with the steps you are taking. Some people have specific goals for therapy, while others may be unsure in the beginning. Wherever you are, is a good starting point.

It takes strength and courage to navigate daily life, with pressures coming at you from what seems like all directions. It takes even greater courage to seek out help, to step back, and look at ourselves in order to deal with distressing thoughts, emotions, body sensations or behaviours, or to deal with the past and its impact on present life.

It is not easy to face the painful parts of our lives and selves, and support through that journey can help to bring insight and shed light on new ways of being. Finding a therapist that you connect with is an important piece to finding the right kind of support that is helpful for you, so here is an overview of what you can expect from working together.

You might come to therapy feeling stuck in familiar patterns - ways of coping, thinking, or relating that once made sense but now feel hard to shift.

I specialize in working with highly sensitive people and empaths. My clients struggle with feeling overwhelmed, perfectionism, relationship struggles, anxiety and low self-esteem.
