Does it feel risky to have certain emotions, especially towards people you care about? Does frustration often lead to tears, self-criticism, or self-doubt? When triggered by someone in your life, do you experience anxiety? Do conflicts in relationships result in headaches, stomach issues, tension, or other forms of bodily distress? Or cause you to feel down or depressed? If any of these questions resonate with you, you're not alone. Over decades of practice, I've seen time and again that clients come to psychotherapy having suffered enough and possessing incredible potential for change. Change is possible, and therapy can help.

I'm a Clinical Social Worker based in Ottawa, Ontario. I treat trauma, anxiety, and PTSD with EMDR and psychotherapy to free you from your emotional pain, disturbing images, negative beliefs, triggers, memories, habits, and sensations. My average client only sees me for 4-9hrs - EMDR is very effective and efficient!
EMDR is really good at reducing trauma triggers, freezing, confusion, and the stuckness that comes with PTSD and acute anxiety. More importantly it's creates a big shift from "I don't matter", "I'm not good enough", and "I don't belong" to "I'm ok as I am", "It's over, I'm safe now", and "I can say say NO and be OK".

You’ve spent so much energy trying to keep it all together—pushing through stress, managing your image, and keeping up the appearance of control. But under the surface, things feel messy. Food feels like a constant battle. You’re tired of thinking about your body all the time. And even when things look “fine” on the outside, you feel stuck, anxious, and alone.

For 9 years I have worked with individuals, couples and families on a wide variety of issues including communication breakdown, trauma, abuse, accident, injury, addictions, depression, anxiety and other mental health concerns. I understand that change is difficult, and it is hard to take the first step in seeking out therapy support. I know it takes courage to start this process. I offer a safe, private, confidential environment to explore what you want your life to look like and to help you get there. Therapy is hard work, but the reward is a more satisfying you.
