Attachment-based Therapists in Ottawa, ON

Hi, I'm Kim. I have worked with people across the age span, individually and in families, for the past few decades. I am currently working with people who are interested in finding ways to better cope with strong emotions, complex trauma, mood disorders and building stronger connections in their relationships. I have a long history of working with children, teenagers and young adults in particular and am often described as conversational, humorous and creative in my approach. I believe in being transparent, flexible, nonjudgmental and creating safe spaces where people feel heard and connected.

Sometimes we are faced with challenges that can make it hard to live the life we want. In these difficult periods, therapy can provide an opportunity to connect with another person, explore the problems you may be facing, and figure out a path forward that works for you. My priority is creating a safe space between me and my clients, which means I approach every person and problem with respect, compassion, and without judgement. Regardless of how you feel right now, you (yes, you!) have strengths, expertise, and valuable experiences that I’m here to help you unearth, reclaim, or explore.

Thank you for considering me in your search for a therapist. I am a Registered Psychotherapist who offers services to individual adults with a particular focus on familial or romantic relational issues, faith-based struggles, trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions.

Currently accepting adult clients. In individual therapy, I work with adults and adolescents experiencing a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety and burnout as well as self-esteem difficulties. I aim to create a nonjudgmental, empathic, shame-free therapeutic space where you may feel safe to express yourself fully and to explore challenging thoughts, emotions, behaviours and relationships. I am comfortable working with individuals from all socio-cultural backgrounds (i.e. race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation).

I am a DBT-trained, bilingual (French and English) registered psychotherapist who has been offering individual and group therapy and psychoeducational services since 2004 to a variety of populations in a wide range of settings. My areas of expertise include anxiety disorders, borderline personality disorder, as well as interpersonal difficulties, and all problems related to emotional regulation.

Have you noticed changes in your mood and energy levels? Are you finding yourself struggling to maintain connections in your relationships? Sometimes life can become overwhelming, whether that’s because of our emotions, thoughts, behaviours, difficulties within our relationships or traumatic life events. Whichever the reason, we can unpack it one step at a time. Together, we will build a comfortable, non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe and supported as you navigate challenging circumstances.

Do you find yourself replaying scenarios or feeling stuck in foggy thinking? During times of stress our experiences can seem confusing and overwhelming. Having a safe space to name what is happening helps to bring clarity to our experience. Whether you are working through a current stressor or an older wound, identifying thoughts and feelings helps us to understand our needs. I work with clients to identify automatic attachment patterns that may be maintaining attitudes and behaviours that are no longer helpful. Together we consider alternate ways of responding that help you to attain your needs and goals.

Thank you for considering us in your search for a therapist! We are a team of Registered Psychotherapists who offer services to individual adults with particular focus on acculturation stress, anxiety disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), body image, faith-based struggles, perfectionism, and trauma.

Are you stuck in dysfunctional and self-sabotaging patterns? Do you have high expectations for yourself that you can never satisfy? Are you experiencing inner turmoil and outer irritability you can’t settle? Psychotherapy could help with these. I believe that self-understanding, the awareness of and ability to understand one’s actions and reactions, is important for personal transformation. Using a gentle, introspective approach, I provide clients with the space to be curious about their past and current experiences. I believe personal transformation can happen to everyone at any age.

***CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** I recognize that it takes a lot of courage to make the first step to reach out, and for that, I congratulate you. In working together, I invite you to discover yourself, process any wounded parts of your past, and reach your goals, in a safe, secure and non-judgmental space.

The journey of life holds many unexpected turns that can often lead to feeling lost, stuck and alone. I provide individuals and couples a safe and supportive space where they can slow down and connect to their internal resources. I believe that with the right support, each person has the capacity to grow and heal. I encourage my clients to explore how their life experiences are affecting their current circumstances, with the intention of moving toward a satisfying life with meaningful connections.

Since 2009, I have enjoyed working with individuals who are experiencing conflict in their relationships (with others or within themselves), and those struggling with either overwhelming emotions or with feeling disconnected from them. I support clients in healing from traumatic life experiences, including abuse and neglect. I particularly enjoy helping men become better attuned to their emotional experience and develop more satisfying connections with others. I offer a compassionate, authentic space to explore the relationship ruptures, health complaints, and difficult emotions that contribute to your presenting concern.

I began my journey working with children and youth over 20 years ago in the field of Child and Youth work. My experience and passion are in helping people build and strengthen healthy attachments and connections not only with others, but with themselves. I believe that connection within the therapeutic relationship is so important and I will work with you in order to create safety as you trust me to support you in this part of your journey. I will focus on your story in a respectful and non-judgmental way so that together we can create the foundation for what you need in order to heal, grow and change in the ways you want.
