Sometimes you might feel it is so difficult to share your struggles with anyone, even with loved ones; Or perhaps the worries and concerns about things happening in your mind are beyond your ability to cope with them. You might have experienced lack of motivation to even greet the day when the alarm clock goes off in the morning.

Because I am cross-trained and have very wide experience in many fields I am quite often able to quickly "pin-point" a person's "stuck points".
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."

Over my 7 year career in mental health, I have developed a special interest and expertise working with male youth (ages 15-30 years) and adult males seeking support with anxiety, depression, life transition, and identity.
As a therapist, my goal is to support you to live the life you want to live and become the person you want to become. I value authenticity, connection, and compassion, so it's important that we can create a space where you feel you can be yourself, without judgment, as we work together to identify, clarify, and ultimately achieve your goals. Clients I see tend to experience difficulties related to mood and anxiety, or are seeking coping skills to navigate stress and the complexities of life. Outside of private practice, I am a social worker and psychotherapist in Youth Psychiatry at The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre.

My style is calm, curious, and nonjudgemental. To deepen your self-understanding and make sense of your life we can discuss your perspectives, emotions, experiences, and give your unconscious or implicit memory a voice. We can also explore more practical information and strategies. Like, how our minds and bodies react to stress, and skills for regulating emotions and managing relationships. My approach pulls from many therapeutic modalities and utilizes techniques supported by research and personal experience.

I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, and stress through a hu manistic and experiential approach: Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, mindfulness, and compassion.
As a somatic psychotherapist, I help individuals who feel disconnected from themselves and overwhelmed by stress or past trauma. My ideal clients seek a deeper connection between their body, heart and mind desiring healing that goes beyond talking about it. Using Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, and mindfulness, I guide them to gently release tension, process emotions, and regain a sense of safety and balance in their lives. Together, we work toward self-awareness, emotional regulation, and authentic connection.

My clients are looking to lead a balanced life with the perspective and tools to face challenges with resilience and optimism. Addictions, anxiety, depression, or negative thinking might be getting in the way of relationship or life goals. My clients are hoping to find practical problem solving in their sessions with me but also build bigger picture thinking and perhaps even get into the big philosophical questions that are a part of making life feel worth living. They value a genuine, hu man experience with an open-minded, culturally sensitive supporter, that allows them to tap into their own resources for long term well-being.
