Black Therapists in Ottawa, ON
You may be approaching therapy thinking that there’s something wrong with you, or that you are a problem. Perhaps there are parts of you or qualities within you that you wish you could embody, but something inside keeps getting in the way. I do not believe there is anything wrong with you, or that you are a problem that needs fixing. I view human development as a process that occurs spontaneously under supportive conditions. For example, when you see a plant that looks unwell, we don’t conclude that the plant is “no good” and throw it out. Rather, we shift the internal and external conditions to support the plant in thriving.

I recognize that dealing with individual problems is not a systematic process and that it can lead to certain difficulties, but healing from a past or present malaise is a bit like writing a book: you have to write a few drafts at each stage before you're satisfied with your work. I look forward to meeting you and accompanying you on your healing journey.

Life can be hard and finding a therapist who truly hears you can be challenging. You might feel that no one understands what you're going through. Experiencing pain alone may leave you feeling overwhelmed, stressed or numb as the days pass. Eventually the experience may feel like a never-ending rollercoaster with more downs than ups. However, seeking therapy takes strength and courage, and each part of you is welcomed (even your most hurtful parts or the parts you might avoid). Sometimes help is needed to cope with life obstacles, manage interpersonal relationships, regulate your emotions, and heal from your traumatic experiences.

I work with motivated individuals who are looking to work towards better understanding, dealing with, and changing their lives. Clients of mine often have behaviours, thoughts, feelings, or emotions that are dysfunctional or cause them discomfort, such as feeling anxious, depressed, frustrated, reactive, or scattered. Many of my clients have difficulty with behaviours they feel they have no control over, such as compulsions or addictions, aversions, or getting easily frustrated or angry. I help my clients understand why these issues occur and help them create tools and protocols such that they can create the changes they want.
