Therapists in Ottawa, ON

Since 2001, I have supported individuals and couples to deal with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, work place stress, burnout, sexual and relationship and self-esteem issues, and existential issues related to meaning and purpose. I can help you deal with couple problems (e.g., intimacy, communication), repair your relationship after injuries, such as affairs or betrayals, and improve your sex life. I have presented at national conferences and published book chapters and peer-reviewed journal articles in the area of couples and sex therapy. I can support you to build a more, secure resilient self and strengthen your relationships.

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.

I work with individuals, couples and families of all cultural/spiritual backgrounds. I use an eclectic treatment approach to address anxiety, depression, anger, communication issues and relationship recovery, addictions, work/life balance, self-esteem, post-traumatic stress, career and many other issues. I believe that active listening is at the heart of effective therapy, and I work to help my clients find their own hidden strengths, empowering them to effectively resolve their issues. My personal life mission is to assist my clients in identifying solutions to the problems that prevent them from enjoying their lives to the fullest extent possible.

The goal in therapy is to explore the root causes of adversity and success so there is mindfulness regarding clear goal setting; this will contribute to balance and harmony in your life. Over the past 29 years my personal life and work with clients have taught me that we are all challenged by trust and emotional intimacy issues. I am passionate about empowering others to design vibrant relationships and lives.

Hello and Welcome to Psychotherapy for You! Do you often feel weighed down by stress, anxiety, depression, or substance abuse? If you find it challenging to manage your day-to-day life, come talk to me, and together we will work on strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your struggles. I have over a decade of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings including community agencies, schools, healthcare centres, and outpatient addiction treatment services. My career began as an Educational Assistant in 2009. My educational background includes an Honours Bachelor of Social Work

It is my goal to provide my clients with a warm, nonjudgmental and honest environment where they can feel most comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions and troubles. Much of my experience comes from working in mental health at The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I have a passion for working with adolescents and adults as they develop the courage to explore their vulnerabilities on their journey towards wellness and fulfilment. My experience has allowed me to develop skills in working with depression, anxiety, grief, issues related to sexuality, emotional regulation, social fears and phobias, self-esteem and suicidal ideation.

As a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist who’s trauma-informed, my work focuses on helping clients re-establish and rebuild safety with their emotions, their body and to assimilate challenging experiences.

I have worked cross-culturally with clients with a range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and many other psychological problems. I have had the chance to help both individuals and couples using holistic, evidence-based practices and techniques. Different therapeutic techniques and approaches used are tailored according to my clients' needs and preference in order to help my clients understand themselves, manage their emotions, and improve their quality of life.

I became a therapist because, just like you, I am human and have had my fair share of battles. It took a long time for me to get to where I am today. I recognize that in moments of hopelessness, it is hard to find determination, that depression can be scary, that anxiety can be overwhelming, and that traumatic experiences can leave one feeling emotionally exhausted and drained out. I acknowledge the stigma associated with mental health and in going to therapy. For this reason, I know how crucial it is to provide therapy that is client-centered, empathetic, and unique to each person’s needs.

Take in charge by setting yourself up for Success! Let’s work together to achieve your goals and overcome your challenges!

Through the journey of self-growth and positive strides forward, and close guidance and support from myself, empower yourself in becoming the best version of yourself. Accepting New Clients!
