I assist men who are seeking emotional balance, harmonious relationships and an overall sense of well-being. Individuals will prioritize these goals as a result of conflict or through some experience of loss, lack or pain. My specialty is short-term counselling, typically three to six sessions. Options for longer-term support are also available. Counselling begins with an initial consultation. The purpose of these 50-minute introductory sessions is to identify an approach that will provide you with the greatest possible benefit in the shortest period of time. A consultation can usually be scheduled within five days of your call.

Struggling with anxiety, mood, or sleep challenges? Finding these issues getting in the way of work, school, and personal relationships? Wanting to learn to take control of your symptoms, build coping skills, and develop a wellness plan? Ready to reach your goals?

During difficult times of crisis and uncertainty - I encourage everyone to be aware of their mental health and be intentional with self-care. Having access to a clinical counsellor is not something you need to sacrifice as a result of social distancing. Sessions can be offered via phone or secure video conferencing.

My goal is to work with individuals as they navigate through their difficult times and strive to work collaboratively towards a better quality of life. I am a registered member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists and have a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. My primary goal is to build a strong therapeutic rapport with each of my clients and ensure there is comfort in the vulnerability of sharing their story while working towards the goals of therapy.

I firmly believe in embracing individual differences, listening to your own truth, creating connection and cultivating time to tune in. I believe that people can be empowered to discover their own answers and sometimes learn to love the questions themselves. Troubleshooting life's complications, learning to sit comfortably in discomfort and cultivating the ability to tolerate those dark places are all what I hold in high value in my counselling sessions. I create strength based individualized treatment plans in collaboration, highly valuing the knowledge you bring into session about yourself.

I offer clinical services in the Kingston area (operating in JD Physiotherapy) and Ottawa (430 Hazeldean Rd) that support those facing mental health issues & challenges impacting their life. Counseling and psychoeducational assessment services are for children and adolescents (ages 6 to 23). Psychoeducational services are also available for mature young adults, adults, parents, community organizations and business institutions in the form of workshops and presentations. Through therapy, the goal is for individuals to better understand themselves by identifying strengths while also becoming comfortable with their shortcomings.

I work with adults and students who are having difficulty coping with perfectionism, self-esteem issues, procrastination, burnout, anxiety, depression, and work- or school-related stress. It's difficult to manage every day responsibilities when we are overwhelmed, afraid, and lacking purpose. I use a compassionate, non-judgmental, and results-oriented approach intended to help you develop self-awareness, resilience, and self-regulation.

Hi, my name is Kayla and I'm a registered social worker with a masters degree. I work primarily with adults (18+) and have experience in a variety of areas with specific knowledge in coping with a cancer diagnosis, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, managing life transitions, and parenting. At my core, I believe that people are resilient. My working with people with cancer has shown me that people can adapt and find hope in the most difficult of times. With the support that you need, I believe you can make positive changes in your life and learn to cope with the challenges you are facing.

Taking the first step towards counselling takes courage. Stressing about the future or having guilt about the past causes many of us to get stuck in a rut, and it is hard to get out. Sometimes it is not our thoughts and feelings, but the way we respond to them. Sometimes we avoid the problem, and develop ways of thinking or acting that are difficult to break. If this sounds like something you want to discuss, then I hope you contact me. I hope to be a good fit in helping you take the time and figure out where you are, and where you want to be.

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP), I work with clients’ to ensure each individual is receiving holistic, compassionate treatment that helps each one achieve their mental health goals. My treatment philosophy is: “As a member of your wellness team, I believe in a collaborative and pragmatic approach that employs compassion without judgement, to help you realize your goals, however you define those within the context of the therapeutic environment.”

It takes courage to begin the counselling process. When you make the choice to work through painful feelings, to change damaging behaviours, or to build stronger relationships, your life improves in many ways. My role is to provide a counselling relationship that allows you to feel safe to share your experiences, feelings and thoughts. I offer a confidential space, support and feedback in order to help you to make the changes you identify. ​ ​
