Therapists in Ottawa, ON

As a psychotherapist specializing in Perinatal Mental Health, I am particularly passionate about supporting women through the emotional, spiritual, and physical journeys of pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition to motherhood. I also work with clients who are grieving a loss that occurred through miscarriage or stillbirth, are struggling with infertility, or who experienced a traumatic birthing experience. In addition, I work with parents who are in the process of adoption or who have adopted a child, as well as individuals who themselves are adopted.

Accepting new clients! I am glad you are considering therapy! Whatever you are going through: depression, anxiety, difficult relationships, career changes - my big message to you is that it can get better. I've helped countless people make amazing progress in their lives and I can assure you: life gets better when you take concrete steps to work on yourself. I believe in the power of human connection to transform patters that no longer serve my clients. Therapy is a safe space for self-exploration, humour and concrete steps towards change.

Is life a little overwhelming right now? Are you looking for someone to help support you as you make some changes or explore options? Therapy can offer a space where you feel supported, valued, able, and safe to explore any topics that life may throw at you - whether that be fertility, pregnancy loss, stress management, relationship issues, or becoming a new parent.

My passion is supporting women of all ages and stages. I believe that women face a myriad of unique challenges throughout their lifespan and deserve compassionate and relatable mental healthcare. I work with women needing support and skills to manage various mental health conditions, navigate new life transitions, or process past or more recent traumatic events (including birth trauma). I have a special interest and training in working with pregnant, postpartum and parenting women, as well as those undergoing fertility treatment.

I have worked in the area of counselling psychology for several years and have a variety of experience including research, teaching, supervision and psychotherapy. As a registered psychotherapist, I enjoy providing authentic, compassionate, challenging and insightful support as I journey alongside my clients through the many challenges they face. I consider it an honour to be invited to walk with people as they courageously face life's past, present and future difficulties. I have both personal and professional experience working with CAF, Veterans and their family members.

Asking for help is the bravest step you can take and I want to help you make the most of this courageous step forward. I specialize in adult ADHD and postpartum mood disorders. As a fellow parent (of 3) I know how this time can bring great joy and simultaneously be the cause of overwhelm. If you have ADHD know that it does not define you, but it does impact your brain processes. To be the person deep in your heart, the work starts from the inside out. Together, we'll make sense of your pain, learn transformative skills, improve functioning and self-regulation.

I am passionate about offering a kind, warm, and caring approach to all clients. I understand that engaging in Psychotherapy can be a difficult process, and I strive to bring forth a non-judgemental and respectful atmosphere where clients can feel comfortable sharing their innermost thoughts and feelings.
