Are all these profiles starting to look the same after a while? Therapy doesn't have to be stuffy and outdated. Therapy is raw and real. No pretenses. We're all human. You are not alone. If you are looking for an empathetic, evidence-based but no-nonsense approach to addressing your concerns you've come to the right place. Together we can work on a single issue or many complicated ones. We'll move at the pace you are comfortable with and keep your goals at the forefront.

I believe that everyone deserves safety, trust, and hope. These build the foundation for our belief in ourselves, connection with others, and help us to live a meaningful life. Stress, transitions, and unexpected challenges can uproot us, and when that happens it’s my privilege to create a safe, grounding connection to help you find your way back to yourself and others. Through a combination of trauma-informed and evidence-based counselling interventions, I provide a soft place to land, where you are seen, heard, and are safe to speak your truth on the road to healing.

Specializing in mindset, self-acceptance and inner dialogue, I believe in a deeply personal, relationship-based experience that builds on the uniqueness of each person. Anxiety, depression, stress, overwhelm, unhappiness, relationship struggles, and so on, are all too common for many of us and we can get caught up in the incorrect belief that our problems can’t change. We often don’t even realize the underlying story that’s determining what we think and believe.

I have been working in Social services for over 30 years; over 20 in private practice. I enjoy using the eclectic combinations of modalities that I have learned. In general I find that as humans, our minds cause us a great deal of suffering. Learning to understand our minds so that we can change the negative scripts that keep us stuck in the same patterns is the greatest gift I have to offer. It is only then that we can experience our full potential of happiness and fulfillment in life. I use a client-centred approach. My practice welcomes the diversity of all humans.

Strength-Based Counsellors
If you're looking for Strength-Based Therapy in Ottawa or for an Ottawa Strength-Based Therapy Counsellor these Counsellors provide Strength Based counselling. Strength-based therapy is a type of positive psychotherapy and counselling that focuses more on your internal strengths and resourcefulness, and less on weaknesses, failures, and shortcomings. This focus sets up a positive mindset that helps you build on you best qualities, find your strengths, improve resilience and change worldview to one that is more positive. A positive attitude, in turn, can help your expectations of yourself and others become more reasonable.

How can I tell if a therapist is right for me?
Therapists in Ottawa are able to work with a wide range of issues.
