Chaque couple, chaque famille est différent en termes d’objectifs, d’aspirations et de poursuite du bonheur. Le chemin de chacun vers le bien-être et la tranquillité d’esprit est différent et mérite d’être valorisé.

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.

Life is a series of relationships. We cultivate them with others, our environment, culture and with our ever changing and evolving selves. Countless things happen along the way that interrupt our ability to live freely in our relationships. My life's passion is to help you cultivate more satisfying connections in your life. This may start out with the relationship you have with yourself or with others in your life. I endeavour to support you to connect to the fullness of your experience and embody your anger, grief & love. I have a particular interest in working with other therapists and clients looking to go deeper personally.

I specialize in working with clients experiencing low self-esteem, family of origin issues, childhood relational trauma, difficulties with assertiveness, exploration of sexual orientation, and existential concerns. I also work frequently with individuals who identify with the LGBTQ+ and gifted communities. Using an integrative approach tailored to the needs of each individual, I strive to help my clients understand and find practical ways to cope with their challenges. I primarily draw upon person-centred, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, and solution-focused approaches to therapy in my work.

Each person has their own unique story filled with beautiful moments and challenging obstacles. Whether you’re going through a particularly difficult season of life or looking to work on a specific challenge you’ve been facing, therapy can help. Therapy will offer you a safe space to be vulnerable, explore new perspectives, and find acceptance. My goal as a therapist is to build a strong therapeutic relationship and work collaboratively to achieve your goals. I use an integrative approach and we will work together to discover which treatment intervention is best for you.

Life is challenging and sometimes all of the ups and downs can feel really overwhelming. I offer a supportive, non-judgemental, client centred approach to therapy. Stress, anxiety and depression can creep up in all types of life circumstances. I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families. My practice also specializes in parenting, pre-natal & postpartum support and helping navigate difficult life challenges and transitions.

I work from a strength based, solution focused perspective. I have over 15 years experience working in the LGBTQIA, mental health and neurodiverse communities. Currently many of my clients are struggling with exhaustion, anxiety, and burnout. Many are navigating difficult situations in school, work or with family and friends. It is a tough time for many people but I know with the right support, we can make small changes in our lives to make things a little easier. I would be happy to offer a free 20 minute consult to see if I am a good fit with you.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I completed my MA in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University and completed an MSc in Neuroscience and a BSc in Neuroscience and Mental Health from Carleton University where my research focused on understanding the influence of genetics, trauma, and social support in the development of depression and resilience in adults. I provide psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, and seniors. I have significant experience working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, relationship issues, life transitions.

Life often presents us with different challenges and sometimes we need some support in working through them. Psychotherapy can be helpful when you are facing challenges such as stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, self-esteem, or even just wanting to get to know yourself better. I believe that it is important to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where we can work together on addressing your needs and goals.

"Nothing goes away until it teaches us what we need to know" (Pema Chodron). With over 20 years in the mental health field, I am registered with the Ontario College of Psychologists for providing therapy, assessment and diagnosis of adults. I deal with many issues including depression, anxiety, relationships, loneliness, grief, guilt and regrets, trauma, parenting, life transitions, social skills, shame, and communication skills. Whatever the issue, I work with every client providing dignity, compassion, clarity and insight.

My main goal for clients is an increase in quality of personal and work life through the cultivation and nurturance of self-compassion, authenticity, and self-advocation, while simultaneously enhancing productivity through neurodivergent accommodation. Most of the work I do is with newly diagnosed womxn and non-binary adults who are learning how to get their needs met and are interested in unpacking neurodivergent identity, unmasking to avoid burnout, and meltdown management; however, I am also skilled in the areas detailed below. Sessions are strategically structured to accommodate level 1 autism and ADHD. Neurotypicals welcome.

I love my job and feel privileged to work with each of my clients. I appreciate the opportunity to be present and to support people as they struggle with fears, sadness, anger, bitterness, confusion and a host of other difficulties. I have experience working with trauma and PTSD. I have experience working with neurodiversity. I am also a registered provider with NIHB.

Sometimes life is challenging and overwhelming with no clear way to move forward. My job is to help people find their way. If you find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties or other challenges, I would like to help. Using a person-centred approach, I offer individualized support as you begin to take steps towards positive changes.

What is trauma? How trauma can affect my life, the lives of those I love and even my community. How does trauma affect different aspects of my life, such as my interpersonal relationships, my physical and financial health, my sexual lifestyle, my spirituality and, of course, my mental and emotional health? Working on traumatic experiences, whether long-term, recent, intergenerational or ongoing trauma, is not easy work, but when done with support and empathy, it is exceptional work that is worth doing first for ourselves, but also for those we love and our community.

I have completed a Master’s in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work at the University of Ottawa. I am currently registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.
