I’m a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist supporting people aged 14+ to build self-esteem and navigate life with ADHD. I also help clients overcome anxiety, depression and PTSD. By blending evidence-based techniques with my lived experience – especially around low self-esteem - we can tailor therapy to your unique needs and goals. My approach is flexible, compassionate and focused on lasting change. I often draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), somatic approaches, trauma-focused rescripting, mindfulness and emotional processing.

Therapy is a partnership — a space to explore life’s challenges, openly and honestly. Therapy is centred on you and its where important changes can begin. We’ll bring curiosity to your thoughts, feelings and behaviours — and how certain patterns may be keeping you stuck. From there, we’ll work towards lasting changes with more clarity and confidence.

I know that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming. We could start with a free call to talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re hoping to achieve, and how we can work together. It’s an opportunity to get to know each other and take the first step toward meaningful change. I’m here when you’re ready. Website: ottawaytherapy. com

I support clients to build self-esteem by realising that their emotions and needs matter, so they feel more valued, decisive and capable. I work with clients navigating life with ADHD to turn their intentions into actions. By learning strategies to manage ADHD's challenges, they can focus on what matters most to them.
