Eclectic Therapists in Ottawa, ON
Starting therapy can be daunting but it’s one of the best investments you can make in yourself. I strive to create a non-judgemental, collaborative space guided by compassionate curiosity in which we can explore your fears, anxieties, relationships and general life challenges. Working together, we explore new ways of understanding your inner self, your world and your relationships and examine old patterns that may no longer serve you well and seek to create new ones that are more effective.

As we journey through life, sometimes the way is easy and other times it is not. Therapy may help us explore whatever we have encountered along the path. I work with individuals 18 and older who would like to explore the paths previously travelled, while developing strategies for balance and wellness on the journey forward. My goal is to walk with you for a time, to co-create a space to reflect, learn and grow, guided by the inherent wisdom you carry within you.

Does it feel like your emotions are a burden rather than a valuable message? Are you struggling to cope with the demands of school and interpersonal relationships? Are you and your partner feeling stuck in the same negative cycle? Emotions can often feel either numb or too big, getting in the way of authentic connection to self and others. I am here to help you reconnect with your body, with your emotions, and with yourself. I work with eating disorders, anger management, self-compassion, trauma and coping with big or numbed emotions. I work especially with teens but also adults of all ages, including couples.

It can be so hard when you are feeling stressed, anxious, exhausted or overwhelmed, especially when you want change and aren’t quite sure how to get there. Maybe you're losing hope and starting to wonder if the way that you feel is ‘just the way things are’. But what if it's not? What if a life with more ease and fulfillment is actually possible?

You? You're probably awestruck by the beauty of this world but also heart-broken by the cruelty of some of the people in it, and enraged at the injustice. Maybe you have unimaginably intense emotions that you struggle to surf, a quick mind but difficulties connecting with others, creative impulses you can't quite express (or not as fluidly as you used to), or are in a relationship where one of you is a POC and the other isn't and you're just trying to make your crazy love work. You might be a healthcare provider needing to replenish your own well, or a therapist seeking an empowering clinical supervisor.

Living in a world that demands perfection is not easy. It can be extremely difficult and unforgiving to us human beings. When we experience negative emotions there is something deeper that is lurking beneath the surface. I am a humanistic therapist who puts the client's needs first. Even if the client is unsure of what they need, this will be part of the journey to discover. I do not adhere to a "one-size-fits-all" approach to therapy as every individual is unique and deserves to be heard for who they are.

It is possible to find resilience and meaningful new paths - even with difficulties such as anxious or depressed feelings, crises with relationship, LGBTQIA2S+ issues, and coming to terms with aging, loss, and grief. I care that women find ways to go out into the world to fulfill themselves, that being queer is defined by the story of self, and that those who are older continue to explore self-growth and self-development.
