I am a Ph.D. Registered Psychotherapist practicing at, and directing, Ottawa Psychotherapy Center. I use evidence-based interventions to resolve difficulties in the now, while promoting growth overall. I see myself make the most meaningful contributions in Crisis & Trauma, which first called me to the profession over a decade ago, and for advancing Self-Growth & Self-Development through emotional, relational, occupational, somatic/body-based, spiritual, or sexual focus. I also research, teach & train so that I, too, can continue to grow.
Treatment areas: anxiety, depression, emotions, grief, burnout, ADHD, relationships of all kinds, non-monogamy, trauma, sexual assault, abuse, narcissistic abuse, neglect, sexuality, gender identity, queer, LGBTQ+, anti-oppression, feminist, perimenopause/menopause, chronic illness, cancer, intimacy/authenticity, meaning & purpose, existential.
Currently accepting new clients (adults 16yo+, individuals, in-person & virtual sessions) for talking therapy, queer-affirming therapy, walk and talk therapy, therapy-dog assisted therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Feel free to reach out with any questions you might have or to explore possibilities together.
