I offer a safe and non-judgmental space to discuss concerns arising in the context of everyday life and relationships. It can be a relief to voice thoughts and feelings openly to an understanding ear. Many clients find the stress of life significantly affecting their wellbeing and they want some counsel on how to either get back on track, or work toward the peace and ease we hope to achieve by living more authentically. When indicated, I also offer tools and therapies to help target and recover from symptoms of mental illness.

Welcoming New Clients. Are you feeling overwhelmed and looking for a counselor who has compassion without judgement? I counsel from a strengths-based framework, working with clients to embrace coping strategies to achieve their goals in health and happiness. My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in narrative therapy, family systems and vicarious trauma/compassion fatigue. I believe that people who access counselling are at a place in their lives where they have identified wanting to be in control of their future selves. I'm looking forward to hearing from you so that we can start down that road together.

Accepting new clients. When we experience chronic and severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for our lives to unravel. Sometimes we find ourselves struggling with everyday tasks, becoming easily overwhelmed or feeling disconnected from our life, goals and loved ones.

You are a strong woman. It's something you can take pride in. You've been through hell and back more times than you can count. And you've lived to tell the tale. You're so giving of yourself to others, that you end up finishing last, and self-care tends to be what falls off the never-ending to-do list, making it impossible for you to get to. And perhaps now you're confronted with the reality that it's all too overwhelming. And you'd like for the world to just stop for a moment, just so you can have a little break. With more than a decade of experience, I've made it my mission to train and acquire the best possible tools.

What type of mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist, psychologist, or counsellor, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counsellor in Ottawa?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.
What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Psychologists in Ottawa specialize in therapeutic approaches such as CBT, EMDR, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), among others. Finding a psychologist or therapist who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.
How to use my insurance?
Many therapists accept health insurance. Check to see if your insurance is covered. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the therapist.
