I offer online therapy through Jane for adults across Ontario. My approach is practical, collaborative, and grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, and mindfulness-based strategies. Online sessions can be especially helpful if you want support with ADHD, anxiety, procrastination, emotional overwhelm, or life transitions from the comfort of your own space.

I am a psychodynamic therapist specializing in somatic therapy. I bring in backgrounds in family systems theory, Internal Family Systems, parts work, and inner child work.

Do you feel stuck and disconnected? I support individuals and couples in addressing their well-being and feel more connected. With empathy, compassion, and deep understanding, I hope to create a safe, warm, and non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable to explore your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. As we are all social animals who need to be seen and heard in our relationships; we can only feel complete when we have authentic connections. I practice from a client-centered approach embedded with transpersonal and somatic therapy techniques to support you in feeling more connected to your mind and body. My focus is on individual and family relationships, intergenerational and racial trauma, limiting self beliefs, feminist perspectives, and mental health and substance use disorders. I know that coming to therapy can be terrifying. I honor you in taking this brave step for yourself. I am dedicated to being truthful with you and work with you at your pace with care, compassion, and gentleness. I invite you to reach out and schedule a FREE introductory consultation session. Together, we can unlock your true potential.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
