I have been providing collaborative mental health and addiction services for youth, adolescents and adults in the Ottawa Region for the past 18 years. I work closely with individuals and families to identify the best treatment plans to meet their unique needs. Some techniques I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Collaborative Problem Solving, Mindfulness Integrated CBT, Trauma Practice and Addiction Issues. I use an assertive care approach which can provide some support between sessions, as needed, for clients to meet their goals with non-life-threatening mental health challenges. Many clients have found this very helpful.

As a person and a counsellor, I believe that everyone, regardless of life circumstances, wants to feel connected and understood. Unfortunately, in today's fast-paced society, often times people do not feel heard or listened to, connected to others, and least of all understood. This being said, I believe that the relationship developed between myself and my client is the most crucial component of counselling. It is my hope that at the end of your sessions, you will develop positive coping strategies while healing unresolved feelings; but above all, that you leave feeling heard, understood and cared for.

I believe when we feel understood, validated, and supported…we heal. This is what psychotherapy is intended to do. My style is gentle and compassionate. I am an encourager by nature, so can help you identify & build on what you already do well. I am also sensitive by nature and there’s a good chance you are as well (it’s a genetic trait called "Highly Sensitive Person" that shows up in about 20% of the population & about 50% of therapy clients).

You've been looking for a therapist who is genuine - who keeps it real. Someone who is nonjudgmental, has their own lived experiences, and isn't afraid to use humour in sessions. Having a good connection with your therapist is pretty important. In fact, choosing the right therapist may be the single most important factor in realizing change. When working with me, you can expect that I will truly listen to your story and honour your perspective; after all, what you have to say is the priority here. However, sometimes I will ask you questions for better clarity and understanding, because it’s important that I truly understand you.

You are STUCK, feeling overwhelmed, unsettled, and better connected to the suffering lately, than the EASE you wish you could just feel. Life is tricky right now, and the past hasn't been easy, either. You wonder - maybe it's stupid to hold out hope for change? You don't want to feel this way, but nothing you've tried so far has helped. You just don't know what you need to feel better, and you're starting to wonder if there is really anything better out there for you on the horizon, or, if this is... just as good as it gets?

I know finding the “right” therapist can feel hard. Research shows that our working relationship is a highly important part of therapy, so I focus on creating a space where you feel comfortable and heard. I love incorporating humour (when appropriate) and checking in to make sure our sessions are on the right track. I believe our past can affect us now, and noticing patterns and taking time to understand ourselves can help us be more present, comfortable, and kind with ourselves. I'll listen to you without judgement and support you in pursuing what matters most to you.
