Eclectic Therapists in Ottawa, ON
Using an eclectic mix of therapeutic techniques, including EMDR, I can help you begin to feel like yourself again.
Accepting new clients! In person appointments on Friday mornings. EMDR can help you re-process traumatic memories so they aren’t disturbing anymore. Talk therapy can help you learn new ways to understand your feelings. I work with those who have experienced trauma to help them heal and gain a better understanding of how to move forward. I can help you regain your confidence, re-establish connections with yourself and others, and rebuild your sense of safety.

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 am trained in a variety of therapeutic modalities, and use an eclectic but evidence-based approach that allows me to tailor treatment to best fit an individual’s needs.
I have both an M.Ed. in Counselling as well as a Master of Social Work, and have been working with children and families for years. Although I occasionally take on adults who are looking for a dynamic, supportive and humour-filled therapy experience, I now work mostly with children. While part of my caseload is always reserved for kids/adults dealing with trauma or complicated grief, my current passion is working with children with social, emotional and behavioural challenges. I also do a great deal of work with kids who are struggling to cope with a parent's/sibling's disability or illness - anything from cancer to PTSD.

I offer an eclectic approach to therapy that brings together understanding and resolving the impacts of overwhelming events and/or trauma on an emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual level.
You cannot do it alone and no one can do it for you" P.L. You may have noticed that your mood fluctuates between feeling anxious and/or depressed. And you don't know how to navigate or interrupt this cycle. Life is nudging you towards seeking support because at times holding it all by yourself feels like too much. In therapy with me, you will feel heard, and understood. You will learn what is overwhelming your internal system (thoughts, feelings and experiences in the body) and be able to move towards regulation, ease and balance. I bring a sense of curiosity and compassion and empower you to lead with courage and confidence.

I work collaboratively with clients using an eclectic approach tailored to the client's needs with an emphasis on collaboration, respect, openness and acceptance.
Specialization in teens ages 12-18. I also enjoy working with adults. Do you want to make a change in your life? Find new ways to cope? Maybe I can help you. People often go to counselling when their own strategies are no longer working for them. I believe it's important to understand the root causes of certain thoughts and behaviours to develop the appropriate support. Such behaviours may include self-harm and aggression, which may mask underlying issues that I am hoping to uncover and help clients cope with.

I consider approach to therapy to be eclectic, as I prefer to pull from both cognitive and body-based therapy modalities.
My passion is supporting individuals, and couples through life transitions. Moving into a new stage of life can bring excitement, anxiety and uncertainty. Support through these transitions can make them more manageable by equipping you with the communication and coping strategies you may need. Whether it be a career change, new relationship, welcoming a new baby, or the difficult decision to decouple. You do not need to navigate these transitions alone. I also have a specialization in providing therapy for postpartum/perinatal mental health, fertility/infertility treatment, and/or pregnancy loss.

I have an eclectic approach that includes Brainspotting in additional to talk therapy.
I currently have space virtually and Tues/Wed evenings. I work with children, youth, adults and couples in a variety of areas. As part of a blended family, I have a special interest in the experience of step-parenting and the often challenging dynamics. In my work with children I work closely with parents to integrate an understanding of developmentally appropriate practices at home. I enjoy supporting couples to find new ways to communicate and understand one another, and to break the unhelpful patterns we all tend to fall into.

Eclectic Counsellors
Many practitioners take an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing upon various aspects of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic methods to create their own custom-made approach. Such therapists often work with their clients to create a treatment plan that encompasses different techniques to best address the client's particular problems and to appeal to their sensibility.
