Therapists in Mountain, ON

Accepting new clients! I believe that we are all capable of making positive changes in our lives. My role as a therapist is to facilitate that process through warmth, understanding, and insight that can help you see things in a new way. Together we can work to identify meaningful and attainable goals, improve relationships and connection, develop confidence and self-esteem, and lessen feelings of sadness, anger, loneliness and hurt. After all, the more we understand about our experiences, feelings, motivations, and needs, the more we can make deliberate choices about how we want to live.

What is meaningful to you? What can be different in your life to bring you closer to that meaning? The impact of invalidation, abuse and neglect can deplete our personal sense of well-being and our ability to connect with others. To better find your solutions I will investigate the problems with you. To do so, I combine my experience as a trauma therapist with approaches such as narrative therapy, behavioural therapy, and somatic work using Brainspotting. In addition, if you have an established relationship with a therapist, I provide short term adjective support using Brainspotting and Safe and Sound Protocol.

Currently accepting new clients. As your Counsellor, I will work with you to create and nourish a safe environment - a space where you can talk openly, free from judgement or pressure, and to feel comfortable in your vulnerability. Vulnerability allows you the opportunity to progress towards an authentic life while expressing and processing your emotions. I will support you in identifying your needs, and strengths. Using gentle challenges, together we will create and fortify the foundation towards your desired lifestyle.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

I can help you figure out what's keeping the "problem" going and what your next steps might be. If your child or teen is struggling with anxiety, I can help you get things back on track.

I focus on educating the client what she or he is going through and together we design strategies that help cope with the emotional difficulties.

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.

All of us will face emotional issues, difficulties in relationships, loss or other stressors at some point in their lives. Learning skills to deal with these challenges effectively can make a huge difference to how much enjoyment and satisfaction we can get out of life. It is important to me to provide an opportunity for people to be able to explore their concerns safely and without judgement. I firmly believe that everyone has the capacity to improve their emotional health and sense of well being. Sessions currently conducted online.

I sincerely believe change is possible in all of us with the will and the proper guidance. I believe in empowering you with the tools to find relief, clarity, and emotional growth. I believe in helping couples recognize, manage and reconcile issues that cause stress and/or disconnection in their relationship. No problem is too problematic for positive change. I can help!

While it is a profoundly human experience to resist or avoid what’s uncomfortable, doing so can be exhausting and often moves us away from the life that we want to live. My intention as a therapist is to empower my clients find more flexible ways of relating to their struggles so that they can reconnect with the life they find most meaningful. I often work with clients who are struggling to harness the motivation they need to move towards their goals or who feel stuck in trying to overcome rigid patterns of avoidance. I currently provide individual, couple, and group psychotherapy services.
