Psychotherapy is a type of treatment that I provide to help clients experiencing a wide array of mental health conditions and emotional challenges. Psychotherapy can aid not only alleviate symptoms, but can help identify the psychological root causes of their condition, so the person can hopefully improve their quality of life and have enhanced emotional well-being and healing. This is accomplished through a client-therapist relationship and it is the foundation of psychotherapy. Clients come to me, their therapist, with sensitive personal information, and the client must be able to trust me with their information. A trusting client-therapist relationship and confidentiality are the cornerstones of my practice.

Within a therapeutic relationship, I assist clients by the means of psychotherapy to cope with stressful life events and or life transitions, relational and identity issues, the impact of trauma, existential distress, medical illness or loss such as the death of a loved one; and specific mental health conditions such as depression and or anxiety. I use an integrated philosophy of different types of psychotherapy depending on the person's individual clinical presentation such as: client-centered, cognitive behavioural therapy, solution focused therapy, family systems, existential and somatic informed approaches.

Welcome, Bienvenue!

It takes courage to begin therapy, and just landing here is a brave first step. I want you to know that I see your resilience and I am proud of you.

Is life feeling overwhelming, stressful, or too much to manage alone? Are you feeling anxious, grieving, down, or disconnected? You’re not alone, I’ve been there, too. As your therapist, I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, seen, and safe to be yourself. If you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or past trauma, we can work together to create a personalized treatment plan that supports your healing and aligns with your goals. It’s important to find a therapist you can trust, someone who feels like a good fit.

My Approach

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCPA), Certified Spiritual Care Practitioner (CASC), and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner based in Ottawa. I work primarily from a trauma-informed, collaborative, and anti-oppressive lens.

I take an integrative approach, blending Somatic Experiencing (SE), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Family Systems and Attachment Theory, all tailored to your unique needs and goals.

I offer bilingual therapy in English and French to individuals (ages 19+) from diverse backgrounds, including post-immigration clients, BIPOC communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those navigating spiritual or religious concerns. I strive to meet each client with deep respect, cultural sensitivity, and care.

Education and Experience

I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling and Spirituality and a Graduate Diploma in Couples Counselling from Saint Paul’s University. My clinical education included placements at The Royal Mental Health Centre.

With over 12 years of experience, I have worked at The Ottawa Hospital supporting individuals, couples and families in acute care settings as both a psychotherapist and spiritual care provider. Also, I have been passionate about caring for individuals on their healing paths in my private practice.

Accessibility and Support

Life is busy, so I offer virtual therapy sessions to make support more accessible and convenient. Whenever possible, I provide direct billing to your insurance provider, helping to reduce paperwork and avoid credit card fees.

Why choose me as your therapist?

I genuinely go above and beyond to ensure that my clients feel seen, supported, and cared for. I believe deeply in each person’s capacity to heal, even when they can’t see that possibility for themselves. When clients feel safe, trust the process, and commit to doing the work, meaningful and lasting change can happen. I’ve witnessed that transformation every day, and it is a privilege to be part of it.

Are you ready to improve your overall health and wellness, relationships, ways of coping and better understand yourself? I invite you to take the next step and book a free consultation. As we work together, you will feel more confident, free, energetic, and fulfilled. I reply promptly to ensure reaching out feels easy, welcoming, and safe from the start. Let’s begin!
