SunLife Therapists in Nepean, ON
Accepting new clients at clinic! Being in a culture that asks you to shrink yourself, your needs, and your beliefs can be tiresome. This may be impacting how you experience your mood, body, food, relationships or the spaces you occupy. There may be ways that you protect the more tender parts of you that get in the way of being more in line with your values, and finally having the relationship with yourself and others that you have always wanted. You might be feeling overwhelmed by changes you need to make and simply don't know where to begin. You deserve to live a rich, expansive life, and to have deep, meaningful connections.

I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) using a culturally sensitive, evidence-based approach to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. I work collaboratively with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, health anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias. Together, we develop practical coping strategies, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My ideal client feels stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by hopelessness, yet still carries a quiet hope for something better. They may struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-worth, grief, or relationship challenges. Deep down, they long to feel whole, seen, and supported. I offer a warm, safe, and collaborative space where healing can begin, hope can grow, and they can move forward with renewed strength, clarity, and purpose.

You hold it together at work, show up for everyone else — but anxiety, grief, or a major life change has quietly taken over. You know something needs to change, even if you can't quite name what yet.
My clients are Ottawa-area professionals, caregivers, and young adults navigating big transitions. High achievers who feel stuck despite doing everything right. Helping professionals and public servants running on empty. Parents adjusting to an empty nest, or adult children supporting aging parents through change. People who are emotionally intelligent, deeply self-aware, and ready for real, lasting growth — not just symptom relief.

I believe every person deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion, and to define happiness, healing, and fulfillment in ways that are meaningful to them. Life’s challenges, unresolved trauma, grief, anxiety, or painful experiences can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from ourselves and others. Therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to begin healing, rediscover strengths, and move toward meaningful change.

Life can be overwhelming at times...

The primary goals for therapy are positive changes, new options, eliminating or reducing symptoms and/or using better coping strategies. The sessions are structured, yet relaxed.
