SunLife Therapists in Ottawa, ON

Welcoming new clients for virtual appointments! Life can be hard. Whether it is life transitions, stressors, illness, or any perceived limitation, we will all struggle, experience pain, sorrow, and discomfort. The question is, how do we support ourselves during difficult times? What type of relationship would we like to have with ourselves, others, and the world on the winding path of life? I believe psychotherapy connects us with our strengths, values, and compassion we need to live a more fulfilling, meaningful, and authentic life, despite obstacles we all encounter. It helps guide us toward approaching life with an open heart.

I am a strong believer that when we change the way we think, we change the way we feel, and we can improve our mental and emotional health and well-being. I am passionate about helping people uncover their resilience, strengthen their self-confidence and self-worth, and become more assertive. You are the expert of your life, and together we will work collaboratively to uncover unhelpful thinking patterns and create new ways of looking at your concerns to create positive change.

Are you looking for a supportive person to talk to about life stressors? Whether you know exactly what issues you want to address or have no idea where to even begin, I can help you navigate your experiences, identify goals, and implement strategies to help you live the life that you want for yourself. I utilize a collaborative, person-centered and strength-based approach. You deserve to be heard and understood as an individual with unique lived experiences. I provide individualized support and approach each client with openness, non-judgement and empathy.

Are you feeling stuck in your life and not sure what steps to take? Do you ever feel overwhelmed and anxious by every day issues? Feeling like you have no where to turn to deal with your challenges? Working together I can support you in finding the right path for you, step by step. In a comfortable, non judgmental environment, we will find the solutions that are meaningful to your life, and help you get where you want to be. I believe that even the smallest changes can have a great impact on mental health and quality of life.

At The Centre for Couples and Relationships, we believe that intimate relationships are central to human connection, attachment, and well-being.

We work with couples and partners struggling with issues such as communication, disconnection, intimacy, infidelity, and family dynamics. We provide a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your relationship dynamics and to repair previous patterns of conflict or hurt.

Life can be overwhelming at times... You may be suffering from trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, depression, or struggling with relationship difficulties...Why not use professional help and see how science and therapy benefit you?
