Specialist in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Eating Disorders & Body Image, Relationships, Mindful Self Compassion, and work with the LGBTQ2s+ community.

My work with clients involves helping them to discover their strengths and reconnect with who they want to be so that they can re-engage with their life. I understand how challenging it can be to feel disconnected from the person we want to be. Together, we will work through uncomfortable thoughts and emotions, and overcome unhelpful behaviours by learning new ways to relate to our suffering and care for ourselves.

I work with clients aged 13 to 65 years with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, interpersonal difficulties and LGBTQ2S+ issues.

Senior Clinician and Member of Clinical Council, Ottawa River Integrative Mental Health

I believe in providing a warm, person-centred approach to those in need, meeting individuals where they are, treating them as equals with dignity and compassion. With over 10 years’ experience in providing counseling and therapy to individuals on a wide array of journeys I am aware of the stigma around mental health and substance use issues and understand that seeking help is sign of hope and courage. As such, I do not look on those with these issues as in any way defective, lacking willpower or less than anyone else. As someone with lived experience myself – with over 30 years of continuous sobriety and recovery who am I to judge anyone?

Professional Focus I work with a wide array of individuals who have or are concerned about depression, anxiety, PTSD, psychosis and other mental disorders. I also specialize in supporting those with or who have questions or issues with their use of substances such as alcohol, cannabis, stimulants, opioids and others. I have a particular interest in working with those who may have both mental health and substance use issues side-by-side. Such individuals often encounter barriers to treatment as the mental health and substance use systems of care often exist in siloes. I embrace the importance of addressing these issues concurrently. I also work with family members and loved ones of those with mental health and substance issues to build motivation for treatment and to engage the family in the recovery journey.

As a Registered Social Worker in Ontario with a Master’s in Social Work from San Francisco State University, my goal as a psychotherapist is to promote Self Leadership and enhance the wellbeing of your system and the system of relationships in which you live and thrive. A strong, respectful and safe therapeutic working alliance can be valuable as a way to live an authentic life. I look forward to being with you with compassionate presence.

I have worked with individuals and families experiencing stress and life transitions through child protection, adoption support services and women’s health. I have completed a year long professional training in supporting individuals who are dying and their family members in providing support for hospice care at home. One of my most influential professional experiences was at the Morgentaler Clinics in Ottawa and in Edmonton helping women and their partners trust their own strengths to make difficult decisions about pregnancy. I enjoy supporting people through the full range of perinatal care (pregnancy planning, birth control, maternity care, pregnancy termination care and transition to parenthood).

I have a strong interest and enthusiasm for Internal Family Systems in psychotherapy. I am actively involved in the IFS Ottawa professional network, ongoing IFS consultation, and am doing IFS training with Risa Adams MD the lead trainer for IFS Connect. IFS concepts and practices inform my psychotherapy with you.

When I am not providing psychotherapy, I manage administrative support, intakes, and coordination of care in connecting you to your mental health practitioner at Ottawa River Integrative Mental Health Inc..
