Women's Issues Therapists in Ottawa, ON

Are you feeling stuck and not understanding why you cannot implement the change you want to bring to your life? Do you tell yourself you should know better and feel discouraged when you cannot “fix” yourself on your own? This is because working on ourselves is more complex than it appears. The clues about what needs attention in our life are often not found in what we already know consciously but in the deeper layers of our unconscious - e.g. arising as dream images or overwhelming emotions. Working from a holistic psychodynamic perspective helps understand what these clues mean and what constructive change may look like for you.

Currently Accepting New Clients for In-Person and Virtual. We all have moments when we feel like we're not good enough. It can happen at work, school, in our relationships, or when we look at ourselves in the mirror.
