Therapists in Kanata, ON

Hey, so this is a weird process, right? I know finding a therapist can feel daunting. Maybe you’ve never done therapy and you have no idea what to expect. Maybe you’ve tried it before, but you want something different. Maybe you just want something to change, but you’re not sure what. That’s okay; you don’t have to figure it out alone. I love to help people navigate this unique healing process through honesty, authenticity, and non-judgement. We can work together to determine your goals, the changes you may want to make, and the kinds of therapy that might be helpful for you.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Ottawa's first licensed, RTT Therapist. As a Clinical Counselling-Hypnotherapist, I help clients who want to gain immediate insights and understanding into issues without spending unnecessary time and money on therapy. It is my mission to guide as many people as possible to reconnect with themselves, take back control, and ignite their conscious evolution. Integrative therapies can also be used in conjunction with any ongoing treatment plan.

My aim is to help move clients from a place of stress, hurt, and suffering to a place of increased self-awareness, self-compassion, and strength. I strongly believe that each client has the answers for a healthier, happier, and meaningful life within themselves. My role as a therapist is to help you discover these "answers" and help you put them into place. I tend to support youth and adults who are experiencing various life stressors; persons with symptoms of anxiety or low mood and self-esteem; persons struggling with emotional regulation; and persons who wish to move from floundering in their lives to flourishing.

Do you want to start exploring some of the issues in your life that are causing you worry, stress, uncertainty but you are not sure where to start? I am a here to help. I specialize in working with women in midlife to help them navigate life transitions (work, family, retirement, health issues, caregiving issues, relationships, grief and loss). Are you ready to examine your current situation, to make some changes and start feeling better? Give me a call to discuss this further.

I have been working in the areas of mental health and addictions since 2008, specifically with the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Care Centre. My specialties are in substance use and concurrent disorders. Additionally, I work with individuals who are experiencing issues with anxiety, grief, depression, eating disorders, relationships, trauma, and general mental health. My therapeutic approach is warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I work collaboratively with my clients to address presenting issues and apply an integrated approach to meet client needs/concerns.

Our experiences, choices and life circumstances can weigh heavily upon us. When our circumstances feel overwhelming and we struggle to see our way through the stress and pain, reaching out for support can lead us to an alternate path of peace, understanding and happiness. I work with youth, adults, families and couples seeking support with challenges such as: anxiety, depression, trauma and post-traumatic stress, interpersonal difficulties such as relationship distress, attachment injuries and problematic interpersonal patterns, sleep difficulties, stress and anger management.

Many of the clients I work with struggle with stress, relationship difficulties, grief, and life transitions. These challenges often leave them feeling stuck, prompting them to seek support to regain a sense of balance, clarity, and resilience in their lives. Common goals of clients I work with include processing and working through unresolved trauma, building self-esteem and reducing self-doubt, and improving communication skills. They want to feel empowered to manage their emotions effectively, communicate more effectively in their relationships, and navigate significant life changes with confidence.

I am a registered psychotherapist and ICEEFT certified EFT couple therapist, accepting new clients in September 2022. In individual therapy, I welcome those struggling with a wide range of issues including: depression, loss and grief, anxiety, self-esteem, sexual orientation, identity issues, sexual abuse, trauma and spirituality-related issues.

Are you feeling stuck in your life and not sure what steps to take? Do you ever feel overwhelmed and anxious by every day issues? Feeling like you have no where to turn to deal with your challenges? Working together I can support you in finding the right path for you, step by step. In a comfortable, non judgmental environment, we will find the solutions that are meaningful to your life, and help you get where you want to be. I believe that even the smallest changes can have a great impact on mental health and quality of life.

My aim is to provide each and every client with the support and guidance they are looking for by creating individualized treatment plans. Life's struggles come in many shapes and sizes and focusing on areas in which we have control is a great stepping stone to formulate the life we want to be living, instead of getting stuck in the usual negative thinking that many of us get caught in from time to time.

I believe that choosing to tell and own our story is the bravest thing we will ever do. My commitment is to create a safe, non-judgemental, and warm place where you can feel seen and heard. In my clinical practice, it is a privilege and pleasure to work with youth (16 yrs+), adult individuals, and couples. I support people as they work through various mental health difficulties, relational issues, sexuality, LGBTQ issues, overwhelming experiences, and identity. I have a special interest and research focus on emotion regulation issues (uncontrolled/overcontrolled emotion), intimacy, shame, and anxiety disorders.

Are you worried about your child or adolescent? Is your child struggling to connect with peers, bullying others, or being bullied? Is your adolescent having difficulty managing his or her mood or anxiety? Are you having difficulty connecting as a family? Counselling can help to alleviate the pain and discomfort of these difficult experiences, while supporting you and your family to thoughtfully move forward by helping each member feel heard, understood, and connected once again.

If you want to learn, to grow, and to heal you can go to therapy. Therapy is unique in that it treats problems (medical model) as well as improves an already decent life (wellness model). Therapy is effective for helping painful experiences become tolerable. It is a proven method for changing harmful thinking, relational patterns, and behavioral patterns. By helping achieve your potential and a healthy well-being, it can also be used to make good lives great. It can even expand and explore spiritual aspirations.

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.

My goal in therapy is to guide you on your journey to achieving overall wellness, allowing you to live to your fullest potential. I offer a compassionate, non judgemental and supportive atmosphere that supports utilizing your inner strengths to achieve your goals. I enjoy working with all age groups from 3 to 103!
