Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Ottawa, ON

These brains of ours don't come with instruction manuals - figuring out how to navigate life is tough enough, but can sometimes seem impossible when we experience mental health difficulties. I specialize in working with people with anxiety, OCD, and BPD . Therapy can be a strange process, I try to make it simple and straightforward. We get to know each other, and figure out if we’re a good fit. We get a clear picture of what the problems are, and what’s going wrong (and what’s going right) in your life.

People seek counseling from all walks of life. Those week are pre-contemplative but still motivated to begin change have the most success in my therapeutic sessions. I work with a great deal of veterans or their families as well as people who are survivors of trauma. I encourage clients to accomplish goals through development of strengths and mindshift. Individuals will develop and experience positive growth through guidance and support. The biggest challenge with online counseling is usually getting past any technical glitches. After this it becomes as successful as in person sessions can be.
