I have nine years of experience working with individuals with chronic stress, anxiety, perfectionism, self criticism, depression, and burn out. I support individuals through one-on-one counselling and mindfulness groups. I work in collaboration with individuals and their support team in order to create a holistic treatment plan that is well suited for their needs.

If you are feeling stuck, in despair or suffering low self esteem, the impact of trauma or addiction, I want to be there to help and support you. I understand the pain you are in as I have been there myself. My own journey in recovery has led me to choose to help people like yourself to explore avenues for change and to feel better about yourself and your life.

I have 20 years of experience working with a diverse clientele. I specialize in working with anyone who is going through a major life transition and is in need of support . I welcome activists, artists,sexual, racial and cultural minorities and anyone who is struggling to find their own way through major changes in themselves, their relationships or their work. Therapy helps people uncover and express their needs and process their emotions in a safe environment. Long time patterns and beliefs can be looked at in a compassionate way and new choices can be made that better support one's life and relationships.

Warm hello, if you are on this site for yourself or a loved one, it may be helpful to know that people seek my services for help with stress, depression, anxiety, pain, trauma, grief and loss. I value the role of humour and compassion to support personal growth and optimal well-being. I believe that life's difficulties are workable and can teach us a lot if we can lean into the discomfort, interrupting our habitual patterns of avoidance, and to relate to our pain (physical or emotional) consciously and compassionately. It is my intention to support you to maximize your inner and outer resources.

You are struggling with feelings of stress, overwhelmedness, and stuck-ness that might be new—or you’ve had them as long as you can remember. You might be feeling low, unmotivated, and having a hard time getting back to your ‘usual self'. Your life, career, or relationships just aren't going the way you'd like them to, and you want to create more helpful patterns and experiences. These and other issues (grief, parenting and pregnancy/postpartum) are all things people I see are experiencing and wanting to change. I am fluent in ASL and understand the unique issues clients who are Deaf or hard-of-hearing face.

I have been working in clinical and community settings in mental health and addictions since 2011. I am honoured to support individual adults who are experiencing grief due to death or other loss, self-esteem and relationship issues, substance use, depression, anxiety, and traumatic injury. We all have within us a resilience to confront and handle even the most challenging of issues and I have such admiration of an individual's courage to explore and seek guidance in enhancing the quality of their life. A confidential, compassionate, and personalized approach to care is my priority.

I originate from a Northern Ontario community but have been happily settled in the Ottawa area for almost 20 years. I am a bilingual (fluent in French and English), Social Worker and it has been my great pleasure to work in the field of mental health social work with Children, Youth and Adults since 2006. I believe that everyone runs into challenges in their life that they shouldn't be expected to resolve alone and I am happy to be there to guide them on their road to recovery. Lets work together to re-establish fulfillment in your life.

Are you struggling with an emotional problem? Or are you looking for help in your relationship? I have been working for 24 years with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, loss, abuse, self-esteem, divorce, and other issues that are negatively affecting their lives and their relationships. Often we don't know why we stay in unhealthy relationships, behave inappropriately, say something we don't intend to say, or act in a shameful way. In the safe, non-judgmental therapy setting that I offer, you will be able to explore, come to understand and change these ways that are causing you distress

The past throws stones to the present, and that is what brings many people to therapy. I believe we all have the capacity to heal, but often our own story can get in the way of that healing. If this is your first time seeking out a therapist or if you've done this before, it is my hope to work alongside you, at your pace, as collaborate to make a plan that addresses your needs. With this, it is important for you to choose a therapist who is a good fit and connects to your needs. I encourage you to explore my website and reach out to me to determine if I am that fit for you.

As a licensed social work professional who specializes in helping people cope with their issues, I coach my clients in a way that utilizes both their heads and their hearts. Throughout my 35-plus years in social work, I have viewed therapeutic relationships as a privilege and honour to be trusted enough by another person that they feel I can help. You will be the one making decisions about your objectives and how to attain them; I can be your guide to help you along the way. If you have any questions about my methods or would like to schedule a consultation, please get in touch today.

I strive to provide a comforting, educational, and private environment for all my clients. Sessions are devoted to assisting clients in identifying patterns and, in becoming conscious of them, developing the capacity to understand and change them.

If trauma, abuse, and mental illness have left you feeling like you’re lost in the darkness, you’re not alone. It’s perfectly natural that the difficult emotions and loneliness you feel have cast a shadow over your life. But though the darkness may feel crushing, there is hope and light. The truth is your painful past does not mean that you are stuck with an unhappy future, and though your mental health might feel like it has taken charge of your life, it does not define you. As we work together, I’ll help you discover that you are much more than your circumstances, that your life matters, and that you have a powerful purpose.

Are you looking to feel better? Sometimes the journey to healing can feel overwhelming and a lot like an unsolved puzzle. If you want more awareness about yourself, your struggles and understanding, clarity and emotional peace, then counseling may be what you need. Do you suspect there past events may be holding you back from enjoying your life today? Please call me for initial consultation. I am a seasoned Therapist Master's Prepared with 24 years of behavioral and chemical Addictions/ Concurrent specialty experience as well 17 years of Mental Health experience involving adults, youth, couples and families, groups/ public events

At Pathways Counselling & Life Coaching Centre we are committed to providing our clients with respectful confidential counselling & life coaching. Our goal is to help our clients find hope, healing and strength. We believe that each individual has been created for success, happiness and purpose.

If you feel that counselling or life coaching would benefit you in your life journey, we are here to help.

Whether it is a longstanding or more recent problem you are experiencing, the general purpose of therapy is to help identify/clarify the nature of your concerns and to develop a plan to work through it in an empirically-informed therapeutic process. Sometimes this process is short-term (1-10 sessions) and sometimes longer term, depending on the person's dynamics and their preferences. Treatment goals can range from developing a greater appreciation of 'how one ticks' to establishing concrete, specific behavioural changes that one is hoping to see in their life.

I would like to invite you into a non-judgmental, nurturing, and anti-oppressive space, where we can work together to address the challenges in your life. Sometimes life can bring hardship and unexpected events, which can produce negative feelings and emotions. Some of these challenges require less support to process and work through, while others may take longer and require more frequent support to overcome. As your therapist, my goal is to understand you, your needs, and guide you to cope with or overcome the difficulties interfering with your everyday life.
