Therapists in Ottawa, ON
Life can bring unexpected challenges and intense emotions that may feel overwhelming or leave you feeling stuck. I offer a compassionate, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where you can safely explore your thoughts and emotions, feel heard, and move at a pace that feels right for you. My work is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, SFBT, EFT, and client-centered therapy.

I work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, and life transitions. People often reach out when they’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or carrying heavy experiences alone. In our sessions we work directly in a safe, non-judgmental space so you can process what’s happened, feel understood, and start building practical tools that create real change. I draw from psychology to turn insights into simple, practical strategies you can use every day. Together, we build stronger emotional resilience, better relationships, and a more grounded sense of self.

Growing up, I was always drawn to understanding people’s emotions and the invisible stories that shaped their lives. Coming from a culture where silence often surrounded pain, I learned early on how unspoken feelings can weigh heavily on our sense of self and relationships. My journey toward becoming a psychotherapist began with that realization a desire to transform emotional pain into understanding and connection, both for myself and for those around me.

High-conflict separation often leaves people feeling overwhelmed, emotionally dysregulated, and unsure how to protect themselves or their children. Many are navigating divorce from a narcissistic or high-conflict partner while trying to co-parent, make clear decisions, and stay grounded. They may feel gaslit, exhausted or constantly reactive. Their goal is stability, clarity, emotional safety, and a structured path forward—especially when communication feels volatile or one-sided.
