Anxiety Therapists in Ottawa, ON

I believe that change happens when we feel safe and supported. It is important to me to create a therapeutic environment that is down to earth, compassionate and free of judgment. Each person is different and has a unique set of experiences. I tailor my approach to your needs and work collaboratively with you to help you achieve your goals and support your journey towards growth.

Your mind is constantly telling you that you need to do more, but it's hard just to get out of bed in the morning. Chronic pain makes everyday tasks really hard. Everyone around you seems normal and you wonder how they have it all together. Maybe family and friends are supportive, but you worry about being a burden. Or maybe your life is good on paper and nobody sees your struggles, nobody sees your pain. As someone who has lived with chronic pain and anxiety, I know how hard life can get. I understand how isolating it can all be.

Do you have a tendency to plan for the worst-case scenarios? Do your low moods, depression or anxiety prevent you from having quality relationships with friends, family, or your partner? If these are some of the issues you are struggling with day-to-day, I can help. I am a highly skilled and trained therapist who can help you develop the skills necessary to overcome these obstacles. You can get these emotions and stressors under control. It's time now to take care of mental wellness.

Life is full of beautiful moments as well as obstacles in our path, like anxiety, depression, trauma, existential questions, etc. In those moments, it's important to reach out for help. I offer individual, couple, and family therapy with adults and teens and work from an integrative approach to adapt to your needs and preferences.

Many people encounter mental health concerns at some point in their lives. I have the education, experience and openness to support you on your path, working together through your issues and towards reaching your goals. I have 20-years of personal experience with the military family community and a history of applied practice with both adults and youth. This experience steers my practice towards evidence-based therapy approaches that foster the mental health and wellbeing of individuals and families.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist who works with adolescents (18 and older), adults and seniors in a safe and supportive environment to help with the treatment of depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief and loss, relationship issues, life transitions, identity, problems adjusting to life situations, career decision making and stress management. I am collaborative in my approach and work with clients to help increase awareness, gain insight and translate the new insight into moving forward in different ways. In addition, I focus on helping clients identify and build on existing strengths and develop resilience.

Life can lead you to experiencing a variety of highs and lows. Sometimes your journey might be impacted by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and burnout. Or you might be dealing with women’s issues, perinatal mental health, or infertility. Offering both in-person and virtual psychotherapy sessions, as a psychotherapist-in-training I’d be honoured to support your journey towards healing and self-discovery. My therapy approach is profoundly shaped by rich cultural insights from my upbringing as the daughter of immigrants, emphasizing cultural sensitivity and understanding to promote healing and growth.

Are you struggling with stress, feelings of anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, self-doubt, and/or fears of failure. Do you feel caught up in patterns of overthinking, persistent overachievement, constant comparisons to others, and self-criticism. Are you finding that life is difficult to cope with due to constant pressures to succeed. If you relate to these experiences, know that you do not have to navigate them on your own. Whether you're seeking therapy as a student grappling with uncertainty about the future or an individual working on your sense of self-worth, I am here to support you on your path to healing and personal growth.

For most, these are difficult times. Every day you try to adapt to strenuous circumstances but feel stuck. I admire your courage in tackling life’s uncertainties and your ability to seek assistance. I am here to support you, whether you are experiencing anxiety, trauma, perinatal challenges, loss, depression, ADHD, or relationship issues. I provide a supportive and safe environment where you can heal and grow. Together we can explore the root causes of your issue(s), shift what no longer serves you, and uncover your innate ability for healing.

I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing a difficult life transition, a mental health struggle such as anxiety or depression or who want to heal from past trauma. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to develop treatment goals for personal growth, and to help individuals live a more authentic life. Evidence-based individual therapy can increase self-awareness, resiliency and overall happiness. I work with couples experiencing turbulence in their relationship, to recover from infidelity, to recreate that spark or improve communication. I also specialize in family therapy and work with children and youth.

Feeling trapped in a prison of your own mind? Feeling like you were meant for more? Anxiety, depression, trauma preventing a better life? You're worth the investment. Covered by most private insurance, I specialize in two areas, workplace anxiety and depression and post-retirement living. I use the most scientifically viable evidence-based methods and techniques to help you live a better life. This isn't magic - it is work but together through guided exercises, insight, and exploration of the self we can make progress towards your goals and improve your quality of life.

Telephone Counselling for Women: I am a cross-cultural feminist therapist, weaving together ancient wisdom such as mindfulness, modern scientific discoveries, & a grassroots feminist approach. We both bring something special to the counselling relationship; you bring wisdom about yourself, I offer expertise on healing. Together we build a compassionate connection, & as a team we focus bringing balance into your life. As a telephone counsellor, I work with women across the globe. Research shows that telephone counselling is as effective as in-person support; it is convenient for women with time constraints, mobility issues, & those with limited access to quality therapy.

*CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Navigating mental health struggles in young adulthood can feel overwhelming and isolating. As a queer individual, my lived experiences have led me to develop a warm, compassionate, and understanding perspective. As a counsellor, this enables me to hold a non-judgmental and thoughtful space for the people I work with and can help them feel seen, heard, and not alone.

Do you strive hard at school or work? Are you thoughtful and supportive of others? Perhaps you put others needs before your own? All that doing and giving can take a toll and make one feel irritable, anxious or down. These feelings can contribute to a sense of overwhelm and unease.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or panic it can feel overwhelming and sometimes debilitating. I aim to create a safe environment which allows you to work through these struggles and grow in your own way. I am passionate about working with women, teens, adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, and athletes, and I welcome all who wish to improve their overall mental well-being. Some of my areas of interest include helping those who are struggling with ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, panic disorder, identity exploration, and confidence/self-esteem building.

My style is calm, curious, and nonjudgemental. To deepen your self-understanding and make sense of things, we can discuss your perspectives, emotions, experiences, and give your unconscious or implicit memory a voice. We can also explore more practical information and strategies. Like, how our minds and bodies react to stress, and skills for regulating emotions and managing relationships. My approach pulls from many therapeutic modalities and utilizes techniques supported by research and my experience.

Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, people-pleasing and emotion regulation? Do you feel like you’re not quite good enough, you can never actually reach your goals, or you just can’t seem to do “life” right? Maybe you experienced trauma from growing up in a household with emotionally immature parents. Maybe you have late-diagnosed (or undiagnosed) ADHD, and chronic feelings of being “defective” loom over you constantly. You need a therapist who will help you actually PROCESS what's going on, not just listen. You need somebody who can hold you accountable to making real change in your life, and call you on your shit.

Accepting new clients! I believe in supporting individuals on their journey to learn to regulate and separate their illnesses from their self-concept. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process. I like to provide my clients with strength and values-based therapy that will lead my clients to self-acceptance. Shame is rampant and stops our ability to feel worthy. I want to help my clients reduce shame and guilt leading to being able to meet the eyes of a loved one and see the positive reflection when that someone looks at them.
