Therapists in Ottawa, ON

Accepting new clients! - Having navigated the challenges of ADHD myself, I truly understand how crucial it is to have someone you can connect with genuinely. Life, with its whirlwind of distractions and overwhelming moments, can be even more complex when ADHD is in the mix. Whether you're dealing with daily struggles specific to ADHD or bigger life events, I've got your back. Let's collaborate and transform these challenges into stepping stones. Together, we can build a path towards a more focused, peaceful, and empowered life. Remember, you're not in this journey alone.

•Accepting new clients.• Imagine a path scattered with obstacles—each step forward may feel like a battle against shadows from the past. Whether these shadows stem from childhood trauma, complex trauma, PTSD, or ADHD, the weight can be profound. One seeks not just relief from distressing symptoms, but a profound understanding and resolution of one's emotional wounds. Therapy can be a journey toward self-discovery and resilience, aimed at developing healthier relationships and a more empowered sense of self. Therapy aims to help one move beyond the past, learn to navigate the present and attempt to reclaim the future.

I work with people who experience intense emotions with the aim of coming to understand these feelings as not only real, but also important, valid, and meaningful. Generally, this includes teens (13+), young adults, adults, and couples who are hoping to work toward managing their feelings in a way that allows them to interact with the world, and their loved ones, more effectively.

I am passionate about working with clients who are seeking to improve their sleep, energy, focus and attention and/or who would like to experience less reactivity, racing thoughts, or panic attacks. People who deal with anxiety, high stress levels, PTSD, are recovering from concussion, or children or adults who have ADHD, autism or learning disabilities are the clients I see the most. Following a series of sessions, it is very rewarding to see the frequency, intensity or duration of symptoms subside and clients more able to access and use tools such as mindfulness, meditation or yoga in order to manage day to day stresses.
