I am a Registered Psychotherapist and the director of YourTherapist Psychotherapy and Counselling Clinic with locations in Ottawa, Kingston and the GTA. My experience includes years of advanced training in psychology, neuroscience and genetics, providing trauma-informed interventions for clients with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and a Certified Addictions-Informed Mental Health Professional (CAIMHP). I utilize a client-centred methodology to provide a compassionate and safe therapeutic environment for my clients.
Through a collaborative process, I work with clients to identify thoughts and behavioural patterns that prevent them from living content and successful lives and help them make sustainable lifelong changes. I incorporate CBT, ACT, IFS and behavioural analysis techniques tailored to the needs of each client to assist them in the process of healing and growth.
My therapy approach focuses on understanding my clients’ history by gathering information about their family of origin, cultural background, physiological and psychological health to create enhanced clinical plans that promote change and the use of practical strategies and tools. A strong alliance with the right therapist can change a person's life.
