Therapists in Ottawa, ON

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?

Reaching out and asking for help does not come easily for many people. I respect your willingness to face difficult feelings to grow, create change, and find a more positive place in your life. Relationships and life stages come with many challenges, and I welcome the privilege of exploring these alongside you as we discuss your goals for therapy and develop a tailored plan to achieve them.

Are you carrying the weight of trauma, grief, or shame that feels too heavy to hold alone? Many of the folks I work with are navigating the aftermath of childhood trauma, domestic or sexual violence, systemic oppression, or religious/spiritual abuse. They may be experiencing complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, or a deep sense of disconnection from themselves and others.

I understand that we can all fall into cycles of negative self-thoughts and limiting beliefs. Inspired by Maya Angelou’s words—“you may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them”—I approach therapy with the belief that while we may not choose our hardships, we do have the power to grow through them.

In order to provide yourself or couple with the most effective care, it is important to choose the right therapist for your individual needs. I am here to provide a safe space to feel heard, provide support and empower you on your journey of healing and finding balance. I look forward to having the opportunity to partner with you on this journey.

I work with individuals who are looking to overcome their trauma by learning healthier coping skills and more helpful resources, and who want to do deeper processing work to resolve and release trauma in order to let go of the past and move forward in life. I offer both support and solutions, using a client-centered approach utilizing DBT, ACT, EMDR, Somatic Therapy and other modalities.

Therapy can provide opportunities to reflect on the aspects of your life you’d like to change, as well as to explore new ways of seeing and being seen, of connecting and responding to yourself and others. This sort of change can expose us to feeling vulnerable, so I commend you on your courage to consider this next step.
