Life can be challenging, often throwing us unexpected curveballs. The key to living a fulfilling life lies in regaining stability and learning to navigate through these events, as well as the everyday moments, with confidence. Many seek therapy during times of crisis or when they’re ready to break free from unhelpful patterns and embrace change. While this can be a vulnerable and daunting journey, seeking support is one of the most valuable gifts you can give yourself.

I believe that within each of us lies the power to heal. Empowerment comes from discovering and using the keys to your own well-being in a way that is uniquely yours. It’s about looking inward, understanding who you are, what you stand for, and where you want to go. Holistic healing means viewing your path from all angles, ensuring that every aspect of you—mind, body, spirit, and emotion—is nurtured and balanced.

My approach is deeply rooted in the concept of mino-pimatisiwin, a Cree term meaning "the good life." My goal is to help you achieve your version of mino-pimatisiwin by providing a safe space, along with the tools, wisdom, and insight needed to live well, no matter what challenges you face.

In our sessions, you’ll gain the skills and strategies needed to move past feelings of being stuck and find harmony within yourself. We often repeat patterns until we fully integrate our lessons and create new ways of being. With extensive experience in trauma healing, I incorporate a variety of interventions to support your journey.

Services Offered
I offer both virtual and in-person counseling sessions in downtown Ottawa, available for children, teens, adults, and couples. Our initial session will be 90 minutes to ensure we cover everything thoroughly and without feeling rushed. Subsequent sessions are typically 60 minutes.

As a registered social worker (RSW, BSW) with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, I provide receipts for counseling and psychotherapy services. These services are covered by many extended health insurance benefits and can also be claimed as medical expenses for income tax purposes.

I am also a mental health counseling provider with the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) program and am currently accepting new NIHB clients, offering direct billing for your convenience.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss your needs further, I invite you to book a free 15-minute discovery call with me today.
