Eclectic Therapists in Kanata, ON

I have a wide range of experiences in providing psychological services, most recently in providing trauma focused therapy for active members and veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, and Paramedics/First responders. My theoretical orientation is eclectic with an emphasis on Cognitive-Behavioural, Client-Centred, Experiential, Systemic as well as Interpersonal approaches to understanding and effectively working with your presenting issues and concerns.

If you are struggling with grief, depression, anxiety or the results of recent or past trauma, having a safe place to talk with a compassionate person can make all the difference in the world. I also offer supervision (virtual) for qualifying therapists.

Are you a Highly Sensitive Person? Have you ever wondered whether you are on the right planet, because most people around you simply do NOT understand? I can help you to move forward in hope. I have been a therapist for over 40 years and I have supported clients with all issues. I have a very integrative, holistic approach, as I believe that Mind, Body and Spirit are interconnected. I use an eclectic mix of modalities, including Psychotherapy and especially Hypnothherapy. Specialities are anxiety and job or Life issues. I have had many trainings in Clinical Hypnotherapy, as well as in modalities such as NLP, CBT and numerous others.

I provide warm, heart-connected and empathetic counselling, coaching, mediation and hypnotherapy services to individuals, couples and families. I concentrate on "wholistic" healing and empowerment rather than on being clinical and "helping". Basically, I form what I call a "Healing Partnership" with the people who come for my services. I tend to be quite eclectic and bring a wide range of skills, techniques, modalities and wisdom to each counselling interaction. Please contact me to enhance your life and to make the most of each moment. My favourite slogan is: "Listening well is the most eloquent sign of caring."

I have a caring, client-centred approach to counselling. You will find a warm and supportive companion in me for your journey of growth and healing. I view therapy as a personal journey for the client. Each client is unique in their needs and approaches to healing. I have a flexible approach to healing that is responsive to each client's individuality. My eclectic approach combines elements of rational emotive, cognitive behavioural, interpersonal and emotion focused therapies.

I am an Ottawa-based Registered Psychotherapist (RP) providing services throughout Ontario over a video therapy platform. I provide individual psychotherapy to clients dealing with issues such as anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, sleep difficulties, and life transitions, as well as diagnosed conditions such as obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), major depressive disorder, phobias, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and social anxiety disorder.

I love to work with motivated, hard-working people who who feel like anxiety is taking up too much space in their lives and/or who are experiencing difficult life circumstances (like work or life stress, big transitions, or potentially traumatic events such as sexual assault). Not everyone that I work with is experiencing a diagnosable mental illness, but diagnostic categories relevant to my client population include Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Adjustment Disorder and Depression. Burnout is not a diagnosis in the DMS-V but will also be considered.

MINIMAL wait time to schedule psycho-educational assessments. I provide assessments in French and English. My expertise lies in diagnosing learning differences, intellectual and learning disorders, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, memory issues, and giftedness. In terms of therapy, I treat anxiety, burnout, adjustment issues and stress management. Currently NOT accepting new treatment clients. The waitlist is full.

Many of us silently cope with difficulties in our lives. But you don't have to. Reaching out to a counsellor for support gives you the opportunity to explore what is holding you back and start improving your quality of life. People have the capacity to make positive changes in their lives with the right support and guidance. With support, you will tap into your strengths, find hope and heal emotional wounds. I work with individual adults who are experiencing mental health issues (anxiety, depression, etc), trauma, phobias, negative self-esteem, family of origin issues, work issues, and relationship issues.

Therapy is about becoming unstuck, connecting with a deeper sense of what's important to you, what really matters, what you really want deeply for yourself in your life. Letting go of stale, habitual, suffocating stories which restrict you. And opening to new, gentler, friendlier narratives of possibility. guiding purposeful action in support of what you passionately value and really want for yourself. ....NOTE I ask you to please email me first either to go ahead and set up an appointment with me or, if you prefer, to arrange a 10-15 min phone conversation

I am here to help you, your relationship and your family in a supportive, loving, nonjudgemental manner. I work with individuals, couples and families. Together we can work on what areas in your life you may need extra support in. I have an objective view that can offer clarity. It is when we feel understood and accepted for who we are that we begin to heal and truly learn to love ourselves. In office- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Online Thursdays.

The stress of daily responsibilities, relationships, work, and emotions can feel like too much. Maybe you're at the start of a new job or a new city is feeling overwhelming. Perhaps you’re coming out of a relationship or just getting into one and feeling nervous. Maybe you’re tired of putting the needs of others ahead of your own. Have you been asking “Who am I” or “Where do I go from here”? Perhaps it’s a little bit of everything, all at once.

Maybe you would like to work with your trauma with more healing, or work with your feelings with more depth, rather than simply scratching the surface? Maybe you are getting tired of talk therapy and would like to try something different? Maybe you have learned a lot about mindfulness but have never experienced the power of mindfulness? The notion that our body is key to our healing is deeply rooted in eastern philosophy, has been rediscovered and reiterated by Western psychologists. Drawing from these, my work with you will probably feature body-centered, mindfulness-based, experiential, somatic and spiritually informed.

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).

Hey, so this is a weird process, right? I know finding a therapist can feel daunting. Maybe you’ve never done therapy and you have no idea what to expect. Maybe you’ve tried it before, but you want something different. Maybe you just want something to change, but you’re not sure what. That’s okay; you don’t have to figure it out alone. I love to help people navigate this unique healing process through honesty, authenticity, and non-judgement. We can work together to determine your goals, the changes you may want to make, and the kinds of therapy that might be helpful for you.
