Therapists in Ottawa, ON

As a practicing Psychotherapist and Registered Social Worker (OCSWSSW) my goal is to create a space from which you feel safe to explore what is holding your back from the life you would like to be living. My practice is guided by the hope of offering you a space for healing in a judgement-free and open setting. When we are offered the space for connection, our system can open up to explore part...

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.

Feeling lost, unseen, or stuck in life can lead to anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Despite these challenges, remember your situation is temporary. By examining the root causes and patterns behind your circumstances, you can uncover insights that lead to transformational change, regain confidence, and embrace the life you truly desire.

It takes incredible courage to seek help whether you are currently hurting, overwhelmed, or searching to get to know yourself better. As your therapist, I am honoured to provide a safe space for you to tell your story, open your heart, and guide you towards the growth and change you seek. In a caring, supportive, and non-judgmental environment, we can navigate this journey together.

In our first session, I will ask you to share your story about your current struggles. We will work collaboratively to identify the core issues and what your goals are for our work together. At the core of my work is the belief in the resiliency of the human spirit; and that change can happen when we connect with each other and with our human nature.

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.

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.

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.
