I am a Ph.D. Registered Psychotherapist practicing at, and directing, Ottawa Psychotherapy Center (ottawapsychotherapycenter.com). 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, trauma, gender-based violence, sexual assault, abuse/neglect, narcissistic abuse, intimacy/authenticity, meaning & purpose, sexuality, women's issues, feminist & anti-oppression, LGBTQ+ / queer, cancer, chronic illness, existential, yoga & martial arts-informed.
Currently accepting new clients (adults 16yo+/ individuals, couples, families, in-person & virtual sessions) for talking therapy, queer-affirming therapy, eco therapy, therapy-dog assisted therapy, and EMDR. Feel free to reach out with any questions you might have or to discuss possibilities together.
