As a Registered Psychotherapist, I work with individuals and couples in east Ottawa, Orleans, and the area. During COVID-19, I am seeing clients virtually. My goal in working with clients - and my hope for everyone - is that we create fulfilling lives for ourselves and meaningful relationships with our partners, family, and friends. When we feel overwhelmed by the complexities of life, we may need some outside support to find our way. I support people through this confusion towards clarity and growth. I strive to create a genuine atmosphere of warmth and support for my clients no matter what challenge or goal they bring.

BILINGUE-ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS Asking for help is often difficult. How do you choose someone who will listen to you, who will not judge you, who will understand what you're struggling with, who will help you gain better control of your life.

My extensive experience in education and counselling make me an effective counsellor, able to help people (like you) become happier, stronger individuals. I know I can help you. You are the expert of your life.

At The Centre for Couples and Relationships, we believe that intimate relationships are central to human connection, attachment, and well-being. As we go through life stressors and challenges, so do our relationships. If your relationship is in need of improved communication, deeper connection, or repair, we can help. We work with couples and partners struggling with issues such as communication, disconnection, intimacy, infidelity, and family dynamics. We provide a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your relationship dynamics and to repair previous patterns of conflict or hurt.

Hi there! Reaching out for help can be scary, so be proud of what you are accomplishing in order to propel yourself forward.

The guidelines that define my psychotherapy work are firstly to establish a therapeutic relationship that could allow the client to feel safe and understood. Secondly, I facilitate reflection and discovery of new meanings on those significant issues in the client’s present life. Those issues could be specific, such as feeling concerned about relationships, self-esteem, stress, work, or they could be unspecific, such as feeling emotional, irritable, distressed, or unfulfilled. Lastly, my approach is tailored by the client’s needs and can encompass diverse strategies and techniques.

I know loss and I know the power of overcoming it. I have studied loss, worked with people to thrive beyond it, and lived through it myself. My trauma informed practice is pointed toward supporting people through their feelings of loss to acceptance and fulfillment. I specifically focus on supporting adoptive parents and their families, bereavement and end of life issues.
