Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in K1Y

My passion is supporting women of all ages and stages. I believe that women face a myriad of unique challenges throughout their lifespan and deserve compassionate and relatable mental healthcare. I work with women needing support and skills to manage various mental health conditions, navigate new life transitions, or process past or more recent traumatic events (including birth trauma). I have a special interest and training in working with pregnant, postpartum and parenting women, as well as those undergoing fertility treatment.

I am a clinical psychologist in Ottawa, Ontario. My main areas of practices are trauma-related disorders and dissociation, attachment disorders, parenting challenges and peripartum disorders. I also provide parent coaching and support in separation planning. I conduct mental health assessments, parent-child emotional availability assessments, and parenting assessments (S.30). I provide services in French and English. More on my website: rppsychology.ca/

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.

Do you find it hard to discover and honour your strengths in the midst of obstacles? I possess particular knowledge and experience in infant, child, and adolescent mental health and development. I am passionate about enhancing mental wellness by providing children, youth, parents, and families with support and strategies to maintain optimal family functioning and parent-child relationships. I have gained extensive experience treating anxiety and related disorders, emotion regulation challenges, depression, OCD, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, relationship difficulties, self-harming behaviour and traumatic stress.

Searching for a counsellor and finding the right fit can feel overwhelming - this is why I offer a free 15 minute virtual consultation to give us the opportunity to connect, and ensure that you feel we would be a good fit. When everyday life stressors are feeling overwhelming and impacting your ability to enjoy life, individual counselling can be really helpful as a step to figuring out a path forward. When feeling overwhelmed as an individual, this often impacts our relationships which is why I also offer both couple and parenting sessions.

The Firestone CBT Clinic offers psychological assessment, treatment, and consultation for adults and adolescents who want help with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders and many other psychological concerns.

Our main goal as a practice is to work with adults to improve the quality of their lives and relationships. We focus on helping clients discover self-understanding, self-awareness, and self-compassion, and then transforming this insight into meaningful and lasting change. We integrate several evidence-based modalities into our work with clients, though this is always grounded in authenticity and collaboration, leaving space for the client's uniqueness and individuality. Our clinic values inclusivity and equity, and we enjoy working with clients from all walks of life; no matter what, you are welcome, valued, and appreciated here.

Do you need assistance navigating life’s ups and downs or any issues/stressors you might be facing? Everyone, at one point or another, goes through hardships at work, with their children and families, or in their marriage. Reaching out is a natural and healthy step, whether you are going through situational issues or long-standing ones. I have experience working with adults, youth and children dealing with a variety of difficulties, doing my best to help make life’s journey a tad less bumpy. I provide individual, family and couple counselling. I currently have immediate availability in person as well as virtually.

Right now our world is at a new level of unpredictability and may be triggering uncomfortable feelings. I am here to create a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences within transitions life presents. In our work together we practice and reflect on the integration of new strategies to meet your needs on a deeper level, often involving mindfulness and self-compassion, trauma informed somatic experiencing, and attachment and ego-state (i.e. inner child & critic) therapeutic approaches.

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.

I use an integrative approach that is tailored to the mental health needs of each client. I draw from various evidence-based approaches such as psychodynamic therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, attachment-oriented treatment approaches, and EMDR.

I have several years experience working in different areas of mental health through emergency call taking with the Ontario Provincial Police, university guidance counselling, and in most recent years, counselling individuals.

Welcoming NEW clients! Do you find yourself trapped in the same argument you've had countless times before? Does it feel like you and a loved one speak different languages? Have you lost the "spark" in your romantic relationship? Are you struggling with family dynamics, past hurt, or breaking a destructive cycle? The good news is that you are not alone. Every healthy and honest relationship encounters conflict. The challenging part is how we navigate it. Our approach can 'make-or-break' our relationships, and sometimes ourselves, in the process.

Avoiding? Self-sabotaging? Shutting down? I specialize in depression, anxiety, relationships, stress, anger, transitions, body image, self-esteem and procrastination. I'm just myself with my clients - relaxed, down to earth and totally non-judgmental. I'd love to help you tap into the strongest, most authentic version of yourself, so that you can live life the way you want to (whatever that may be). I want to help you to be confident and unshaken by distress.
