Therapy is about becoming unstuck, connecting with a deeper sense of what's important to you, what really matters, what you really want deeply for yourself in your life. Letting go of stale, habitual, suffocating stories which restrict you. And opening to new, gentler, friendlier narratives of possibility. guiding purposeful action in support of what you passionately value and really want for yourself. ....NOTE I ask you to please email me first either to go ahead and set up an appointment with me or, if you prefer, to arrange a 10-15 min phone conversation

We all love the challenges of working and thriving in Canada's capital. In this aim to please Ottawa lifestyle, we often do not take the time we need to take care of ourselves. For many people, the often hectic pace and stress of different aspects of our lives (career, boss[es], clients, children, spouse, parents) can add up and cause stress. This can lead to anxiety, depression and other painful challenges. I have helped Ottawans successfully understand and master the ways in which the many currents of their lives interact and impact their emotional health.

I enjoy working with individuals who are on a journey of self-discovery, which may include unresolved issues from the past, or difficulty finding the path forward. As someone who has had an eventful journey so far, I am happy to share my combined clinical knowledge, and life lessons learned, with those who are searching for answers to their own questions. I help clients understand how they move through the world, how the mind works, how to develop better coping and communication skills, and how to improve resiliency and functioning.

I am a psychodynamic and certified trauma therapist. I use a non-pathologizing approach to understand emotional distress. Instead of seeing it as an illness, I help people see their inherent strengths and understand the meaning behind their struggles. Many of the struggles people want help with are coping strategies that worked at an earlier time in their lives, but are no longer helpful. I work with people to explore how these behaviours came to be, how they served them, and how to cultivate new ways of being that align with their goals and values. I use a psychodynamic approach as well as IFS, EMDR, DBR, and somatic work.

I am a queer social worker and psychotherapist offering in-person and virtual individual and couples therapy. My work over the past decade has predominantly centred 2SLGBTQ+ communities, but I welcome new clients from all backgrounds and identities to my practice. My intention in our sessions is to create a relationship that balances security, curiosity, and discomfort. Therapy can and should be challenging at times, but we will work together to find a sweet spot that centres safety and trust so that we have a secure foundation to explore uncomfortable topics, to push up against difficult emotions, and to interrogate stuck points.

Accepting New Clients! I specialize in helping helpers—particularly those in the medical and caregiving professions. You’re exceptional at caring for others, but it’s all too easy to overlook your own well-being. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the demands of your role, struggling with anxiety, or finding it difficult to manage your mental health, know that you’re not alone. Navigating trauma can be complex and isolating, often bringing a whirlwind of emotions that feel unmanageable. It can be especially challenging for caregivers, who may struggle to process their own trauma while still supporting those around them.

Welcome! I am a queer and gender expansive therapist, offering individual online therapy across most Canadian jurisdictions. I offer a contextualizing, self-compassionate, and strengths based approach. While life's hardships will never disappear, I can help you come to more peace and aliveness within yourself. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space to be seen, heard, and grow within. Therapy is kind of like detangling a big ball of yarn; it can be both hard yet relieving (you're not broken, just tangled!), and ultimately allows room for more consciousness/choice to flow in: now that your threads are free, what would you like to weave?

As an experienced therapist, I offer individual, couple’s and family counselling. Whether it’s addiction based issues, such as substance use, gambling and sex, or emotional issues from our journey as young children, many of these issues can be concurrent with many mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, etc. Any one or a combination of these can keep us from finding our true, authentic selves. Through therapy, we have the chance to be heard, believed and empowered. These are key to our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual recovery as individuals and together.

If overwhelmed, stressed out, and anxious seem to be your common state of being, or if you are struggling with feelings of guilt, shame, and hopelessness, or if despite all your best efforts you can't seem to get from where you are to where you want to be, leaving you feeling stuck; then therapy can provide you with a safe space to be seen, heard, and understood. We can uncover the root of why you are stuck and struggling, and discover the innate wellness and wisdom that resides within you, which can help create a new way of being in the present, so that your future can look like what you desire.

Modern life is challenging. Perhaps you feel anxiety about your career, relationship, health, education, or the state of the world. Perhaps you are overwhelmed by how busy you are or how much others rely on you, leaving no time or capacity to pursue your own goals and desires. Or perhaps you are experiencing depression, loneliness, powerlessness, or a general dissatisfaction with life. Whatever challenges you face, the right therapist can act as a dedicated co-navigator by your side to chart your path forward. I would love the opportunity to play that role for you.

Accepting new clients in November 2024-Life is challenging for a multitude of reasons, from unmet needs, inequalities, identity confusion, lack of support, difficult life experiences, to everyday life stressors. I hope to create a warm, accepting, and nurturing environment. I provide a safe space for my clients and invite them to identify their struggles and strengths, bring some curiosity about the different parts of themselves (emotions/thoughts), and to notice their behaviours. I help clients navigate self-awareness, learn more about their values, and guide them to take small steps to build a more healthy and meaningful life.
