I use Hypnotherapy to help my clients achieve inner mental peace and resilience, overcome personal challenges such as weight loss, body image issues, situational or performance anxiety, low self confidence and low self esteem. Sometimes this is related past trauma that is still affecting you today, and in those cases EMDR or Regression Hypnosis can help you get unblocked and move on with your life. We can then work together to help you build stronger self esteem and a greater sense of self worth while also respecting the spiritual aspect of yourself.

I appreciate that seeking help can be intimidating. Many people feel that they suffer alone. People do not realize how common it is to suffer from mental health-related issues. In North America, one in five adults suffer from distress, such as depression, anxiety, and interpersonal problems. Psychotherapy is extremely effective at treating a wide variety of psychological issues. I provide evidence-based, individualized, and collaborative treatment to ensure the quality of care. My approach to psychotherapy incorporates cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and emotion-focused therapy (EFT).

We all love the challenges of working and thriving in Canada's capital. In this aim to please Ottawa lifestyle, we often do not take the time we need to take care of ourselves. For many people, the often hectic pace and stress of different aspects of our lives (career, boss[es], clients, children, spouse, parents) can add up and cause stress. This can lead to anxiety, depression and other painful challenges. I have helped Ottawans successfully understand and master the ways in which the many currents of their lives interact and impact their emotional health.

Hello. Many people are negatively affected by anxiety and depression. However it's sometimes difficult to figure out why. Similarly many people find relationships difficult and complicated. Both psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offer quick, effective ways to cut through symptoms and understand what is underlying our challenges. My work often employs short-term techniques, exploring thoughts and feelings around relationships, self-esteem or historical trauma, using a focussed and directed, but nurturing approach. I also offer long-term therapy when we need extra time to explore more complex issues.

Charles Dickens once remarked that “a wonderful fact to reflect upon is that every human is a profound secret and mystery to every other." Despite how unique we all are, we often tend to spend much of our lives suffering, searching for happiness in places we struggle to ever find. Our wounds are the gateways to the most sacred parts of us and when we are open to new possibilities, we find what we had hoped for. It would be my honour to help make those possibilities your present realities.
