Services
In-Person Individual Therapy
Experience the power of dedicated, personalized healing in a private setting right here in central Ottawa. In-person therapy offers a unique opportunity to fully engage with your internal world, supported in a grounding, calm environment.
This is where we slow down and intentionally listen. Using an integrative approach, we work collaboratively and wholistically across the mind, body and soul to understand and harmonize the various 'parts' of you—from those that feel overwhelmed to those that carry old hurts. Our work is based on self-awareness, powered by your own inner wisdom, guidance and values. Together we can seek inner clarity, resilience and courage, enabling you to move beyond merely coping and toward establishing meaningful presence and peace in life.
25, 50 & 75 minute sessions | Starting at $80
Sliding scale options may be available
Individual Teletherapy
Receive the same depth of confidential, individualized care and therapeutic expertise from the comfort and privacy of your home, office, or quiet space. Teletherapy removes geographical barriers and provides flexibility, ensuring your well-being remains a priority no matter your schedule.
Sessions are conducted via a secure, encrypted virtual platform, maintaining the highest standards of privacy and professionalism. This format is equally effective for processing complex issues and leveraging the benefits of both IFS and Brainspotting. By meeting you where you are, we ensure that healing remains accessible, allowing you to seamlessly integrate your therapeutic healing and growth into your daily life and routine.

My Therapeutic Approach
I draw upon a range of modalities to meet you where you are and address the entire person—mind, body, and spirit. My practice is primarily informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Brainspotting, while integrating Existential, Polyvagal Theory and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
-
A non-pathologizing, evidence-based model that helps you access your core Self—characterized by the 8 Cs—to heal fragmented "parts" of yourself. This approach fosters deep self-compassion and inner harmony.
The 8 Cs: Clarity, Calmness, Curiosity, Compassion, Confidence, Courage, Creativity, and Connectedness.
-
A powerful neuro-experiential model (NEM) that works by identifying, processing, and releasing core sources of emotional and physical pain, trauma, and dissociation. This approach facilitates rapid, deep, and emotional healing.
-
Polyvagal Therapy bridges neuroscience and psychology, focusing on the vagus nerve and its role in regulating our responses to stress. By using the theory and targeted techniques, people can learn to control their emotions better through nervous system pathways and build resilience, safety and connection.
