Emotionally Focused Therapists in Stittsville, ON

The main client issues I focus on are: depression, anxiety, self-esteem, stress, and/or trauma. I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space for individuals to share, engage in self-exploration, build resilience, and live freely.

As a person and a counsellor, I believe that everyone, regardless of life circumstances, wants to feel connected and understood. Unfortunately, in today's fast-paced society, often times people do not feel heard or listened to, connected to others, and least of all understood. This being said, I believe that the relationship developed between myself and my client is the most crucial component of counselling. It is my hope that at the end of your sessions, you will develop positive coping strategies while healing unresolved feelings; but above all, that you leave feeling heard, understood and cared for.
