Relationship Issues Therapists in Ottawa, Ontario

For all of us, life is full of surprises and sometimes it can be marked by major challenges. Since psychotherapy requires a lot of courage to open up to a stranger, choosing a therapist is an important step in the process of working through life’s challenges. I am pleased to present a summary of my experiences and interests in clinical psychology and look forward to working together with you.

Life can be full of stress, with some days being more overwhelming than others. It can be difficult to look inwards and realize that the skills and behaviours we have been using to cope with stress are not as effective as they used to be. Through this inward reflection, you have recognized that something needs to change and I congratulate you on doing so.

I admire the courage required to choose therapy to navigate life’s challenges, and I first want to applaud you for your courage. Your motivation to the openness, vulnerability, and change involved in the therapy process is perhaps the most important predictor that therapy will be helpful for you. There is hope already in that.

I'm a registered psychotherapist helping individuals navigate mood issues, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and unhelpful coping patterns. I use a warm, conversational approach and evidence-based therapies including Narrative therapy, CBT, DBT, EFT, Somatic-Based and Trauma-Informed approaches to create a safe space for healing, growth, and lasting change. Free consultations available.

Each of us faces trials and tribulations that can make life more difficult to manage. In these moments of hardship, one of the most important and difficult decisions you can make is to seek therapy. Therefore, I want to commend you for considering your psychological growth and I would be honoured to support you on your journey toward improved mental, emotional, and relational health!

Deciding to seek therapeutic help is a significant step, as it requires deep reflection. Therapy requires a personal investment, so it’s not a decision taken lightly. It takes great courage to acknowledge that you need help, to seek out that help, and to open up to a new person. I commend you for allowing yourself to feel better and prioritize your well-being by taking this crucial first step.

I'm a psychotherapist offering services both in-person (Toronto) and virtual (across Ontario). My focus areas include depression, anxiety, men’s mental health, relationship/family issues, values & ambitions, LGBTQ2IA+ mental health, ADHD, and creativity & artistic practice. We can work to open new perspectives, build resilience, and create meaningful change for a more fulfilling life.

In our first session, my priority is our connection. A positive initial connection will help the therapy relationship flourish. Through therapy, we will examine different parts of your life, your memories, past experiences and where you are at present.

I am a mental health professional with more than 10 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families from different backgrounds. I graduated from The Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy (TIRP). I completed Master's and Ph.D. degrees in Psychology and a 2-year post diploma in Clinical Sexology.

Do you want to feel less anxious, stressed, or depressed, and understand why these feelings stick? Have you experienced trauma or a difficult situation and you're not sure how to move forward? Do you want to learn coping skills to better manage your day-to-day or relationships? Are you facing life changes, cultural stressors, or transitions that you’d like support with? I'm here to support you...

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or being overwhelmed? Are you feeling frustrated, doubting yourself, or unsure of what to do? Life throws us a lot of experiences, and sometimes it can be too much. Are you a neurodivergent individual (or family member) who deals with high-functioning autism (ASD) or ADHD? Are you a first responder with so much on your plate?

Struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship challenges? I provide online therapy across Alberta, BC, Ontario, and beyond, helping you break unhealthy patterns and build a more fulfilling life. With advanced training in psychodynamic and group therapy, I create a supportive space for meaningful change. Book a free 20-minute meet & greet today.

I provide a safe, reassuring environment, allowing you to grow in self-awareness, self-compassion and a sense of hope.

Welcome! I provide a compassionate, warm, & calming environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your internal world & safely work through complex emotions.

I work with couples & individuals ready to explore their internal world, first responders, men & those living through impact of addiction / dysfunction.

Do you want to know yourself better? Are you looking to understand how your past relationships and experiences are impacting your present? Maybe you feel like you’ve lost touch with who you are, and need help finding yourself again? Do you feel stuck, and have no idea how to even start to get unstuck?
