Stress Therapists in Ottawa, ON
I'm honoured to help people navigate their experiences with stress, burnout, anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma.
Angela enjoys working with individuals who've experienced childhood or relationship trauma, who want to stop reliving the past, who feel their emotions are hard to control, individuals who long for healthier relationships, who want to understand why saying no is so hard, or who can’t put themselves first and default to putting everyone else first. Angela also likes helping people who live with anxiety to learn tools to better manage it. Angela feels her work can be described as having conversations with people to help them understand themselves and their relationships better.

I specialise in working with men who are looking to better understand how their psychology works. Clients of mine often have behaviours, thoughts, feelings, or emotions that are dysfunctional or cause them discomfort, such as feeling anxious, depressed, frustrated, reactive, or scattered. Many of my clients have difficulty with behaviours they feel they have no control over, such as compulsions or addictions, aversions, or getting easily frustrated or angry. I help my clients understand why these issues occur and help them create tools and protocols so that they can create the changes they want in their lives.

Chaque personne est unique par sa personnalité, son vécu, ses défis et ses rêves ; et chaque personne doit être respectée dans son unicité.

My clients are often in transition—facing addiction, loss, or a major life shift. They’ve held things together for everyone else but now feel disconnected or unsure who they are. They want relief from anxiety and patterns that keep them stuck, and long to feel calm, clear, and real again. Together we create space to steady the nervous system, heal trauma, and rebuild trust in self and relationships.
