‘I’m here to help you explore the depths of your being and embrace your most authentic self.’

Do you feel like the brightness of life has faded? Maybe anxiety shows up as racing thoughts or constant worry. Maybe depression has taken away motivation, joy, or connection. Maybe you feel disconnected, “numb,” or far away from yourself and the world around you. Do you ever wonder if things could be different? If it’s possible to feel safe, whole, and connected again? Sometimes it can be hard to see a path forward, especially when you’ve been struggling for a while.

I believe that healing is possible, and that no one should have to carry these struggles alone. I use a culturally sensitive, compassion-focused, and trauma-informed approach, drawing from CBT and DBT to help you understand patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours and develop practical strategies for navigating them. Alongside this, I integrate mindfulness, yoga therapy, and somatic approaches to support nervous system regulation and reconnection with yourself.

In therapy, my first priority is creating a safe and supportive environment where trust can grow. From there, we’ll work together to find strategies that can make the present feel more manageable, while also exploring the deeper experiences and patterns that may be shaping how you feel and respond. Sometimes therapy is about developing practical tools that make it easier to navigate everyday life. At other times, it can involve looking beneath the surface, developing new insights, and creating space for growth, meaning, and connection.

Supporting individuals through difficult and uncertain periods is my passion. My goal is to help you better understand what you’re experiencing, develop tools that make life feel more manageable, and create greater awareness and choice in how you move forward. Book a free 20-minute consultation today to see whether working together feels like a good fit.

Hello! I support adolescents and adults impacted by childhood, interpersonal, and complex trauma through individual and group therapies.

I work with treatment methods such as Attachment-based, Compassion-Focused, Trauma-Informed, and Interpersonal Therapies.

‘I’m all about emotions and how they shape our connections.’

As you move through life, it’s natural to experience moments of disconnection, uncertainty, and emotional strain, especially during times of change and within close relationships. These experiences can feel exhausting, scary, and lonely, and it’s easy to become overwhelmed by thoughts and choices, unsure where to begin. You are not alone in any of this. I’m often inspired by the words of Anaïs Nin: “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”

My work is grounded in trauma-informed, compassion-focused approaches, with a strong emphasis on emotion regulation and relational healing. I support individuals and couples in better understanding their emotional world, cultivating self-compassion, and building healthier, more secure relationships both with themselves and with others. Whether you’re navigating past trauma, current relationship challenges, or patterns that feel difficult to shift, therapy can offer a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect. I see therapy as a collaborative process: you are the expert on your life, and together, at a pace that feels right for you, we explore what has been shaped by past experiences and what may be possible moving forward. My aim is to create a space that is warm, respectful, and non-judgmental, where all parts of you are welcome. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin, just a willingness to take the first step.

‘No matter what your goal is, I’m here to help you achieve it.’

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-acceptance, identity development, or challenges in your relationships? Do these struggles affect your mood, your sense of self- worth, or your ability to connect with others? Does this leave you feeling hurt, tired, or frustrated because you don’t feel like you’re ever enough? Do you wish that being yourself could be easier? Now more than ever, we are all feeling more and more pressure to live up to society’s standards and the expectations of others.

I believe that embracing our authentic selves is the key to living a life of fulfillment, happiness, and inner peace. I offer an integrative, trauma-informed, client-centered approach that draws from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), attachment theory, narrative therapy, and solution-focused therapy for individuals who are 13 years of age or older.

We’ll start by creating a therapeutic relationship, identifying your reason for seeking therapy, and outline what your goals are for our work together. We will then explore all relevant aspects related to your reason for therapy, including past experiences and current challenges, followed by identifying and integrating steps you could take to achieve your therapy goals.

For me, therapy is all about providing an empathetic, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe and heard. My passion is supporting you through whatever life throws your way by helping you find fulfillment and confidence in who you are. Book online today for a free 20- minute consultation and we’ll get started together.

‘I help turn self-criticism into self-compassion.’

Are you feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or find yourself stuck in cycles of self-criticism you’re struggling to change? Whether you’re experiencing stress from life transitions, anxiety you’ve worked hard to manage, or self-doubt decreasing your confidence to cope, I offer a grounded and compassionate space to help filter through distress, and rebuild self-trust.

I support clients dealing with grief, anxiety, relationships (with yourself and others!), self-talk, and identity, using approaches such as narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, compassion work, and dialectical behavioural therapy. Regardless of the approaches that we’ll decide on together, my process generally follows these steps: Thoughtfully exploring your lived experiences that brought you here, defining goals that mirror your wants and needs from therapy, identifying supportive tools, and exploring your progress so you can feel confident in your growth.

As a queer–identifying psychotherapist, I welcome any and all looking for support. My working environment is inclusive and affirming, taking the whole you into account to understand your individual needs.

Whether you’re new to therapy or familiar with the process, I aim to be a warm and dependable resource for support and reflection. No matter what the concern is, my hope is that together, we can help you foster resilience, create meaning and build confidence by developing tools and insight that you can carry with you always.

Please book a free consultation to see if we are a good fit to work together, and I really look forward to meeting you!

‘My approach is warm and grounded as I work alongside you, meeting you where you are and supporting you through all of life’s seasons.’

Do you struggle with anxiety, relational difficulties, or past experiences that continue to affect your sense of self and well-being? Do you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward? Do you wonder what it might feel like to navigate life with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional balance? Now more than ever, many individuals are experiencing heightened stress, self-doubt, and emotional fatigue as they try to manage life’s demands and maintain meaningful relationships.

I believe that healing begins with awareness and connection, with yourself, your story, and the people around you. I offer an integrative, trauma-informed approach that draws from relational therapy, emotion-focused therapy (EFT), psychodynamic and attachment theories, as well as mindfulness-based practices for individuals who are 18 years of age or older. In our work together, we’ll begin by exploring what brought you to therapy: your current challenges, inner narratives, or past experiences. Through this process, we’ll identify patterns, develop insight, and build greater emotional resilience.

I aim to provide a safe, compassionate, and collaborative environment where you can process difficult emotions, gain perspective, and reconnect with your authentic self. Supporting others in their journey toward greater self-awareness and emotional well-being is central to my practice. Together, we can work toward cultivating a sense of stability, connection, and inner peace.

If this resonates, I invite you to book a free 20-minute consultation. Let’s begin the conversation.

‘Let’s find a new way to look at life!’

Do you struggle with self-regulation and negative self-talk that impacts your relationships and confidence? Do you feel overwhelmed or defeated by how hard life seems to be? Do you wish everyday life, your confidence, and your resilience could feel better?

Now more than ever, children, youth, and neurodivergent individuals are feeling anxious and overwhelmed by day-to-day life and the world we live in. I believe that change is possible—and that life can feel good again. I offer CBT, trauma-informed care, ERP, and EMDR therapy to help you build resilience, develop self-regulation and co-regulation skills, and set healthy boundaries, all in a supportive, non-judgemental space.

We’ll start by identifying your strengths and needs. Together, we’ll co-create a skill-building or action plan and adjust it as things evolve. I offer a safe and supportive space to process emotions, develop practical skills, manage somatic symptoms and use EMDR therapy to help you feel more in control of your story.

Let’s work together to uncover your resilience, strengthen your confidence, and build lasting tools for self-regulation and connection. Book online today for a free 20-minute consultation and we’ll figure out your first steps together.

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) can be offered in combination with EMDR

Life can feel overwhelming at any stage, whether you’re a teen or an adult trying to navigate constant worry. You might find yourself constantly overthinking, struggling with anxiety or self-doubt in social situations, or feeling the pressure to keep up academically or at work while quietly burning out. Maybe your confidence has taken a hit, or you’re unsure of who you are or where you’re headed. It can feel exhausting trying to manage it all on your own, while wondering if things could feel easier or more manageable.

I believe you don’t have to figure everything out alone. As a Student Therapist and Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I take a collaborative approach and work alongside you to create a space that feels supportive, comfortable, and tailored to your needs. We will start by building a clear understanding of what has been weighing on you, then work together to break things down into manageable steps. Using approaches such as CBT, ACT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness, I help you make sense of your thoughts and emotions, build effective coping tools, and reconnect with your strengths in a way that feels realistic and sustainable.

Together, we will work on helping you feel more confident, grounded, and better able to handle what life brings your way. If you see yourself in any of this, you’re welcome to reach out and book a free 20-minute consultation to explore if this feels like the right fit.

‘I draw on various tools, but lead with being warm, empathetic, and down-to-earth.’

Hi there, I’m Simon, and I work with adults, teens, and couples struggling with anxiety, OCD, BPD, PTSD, trauma and relationship issues. My style is warm, approachable, and genuine. I’m not afraid to be expressive, to use humour when it fits, and to be real with you. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment where you feel supported and understood. I take an evidence-based approach using treatments that are grounded in research and draw tools from various therapeutic modalities to tailor the treatment to your unique needs and goals.

Depending on what you’re looking for, our work can take different directions. We might explore your past and the deeper patterns influencing your current struggles to help you gain insight and self-awareness. Or, we may focus on addressing challenges more directly by processing trauma, developing coping skills, and changing the way you approach your issues. And sometimes, what you need most is simply a space to express yourself openly and feel truly heard, I offer that too.

If you want to know more about me and how we could work together, you can book a free 20-minute consultation.

Salut, je m’appelle Simon et je travaille avec les adultes, les adolescents et les couples qui vivent de l’anxiété, le trauma, le trouble de stress post-traumatique, le trouble obssessionnel-compulsif, le trouble de la personnalité limite et les difficultés relationnelles. Mon style est chaleureux, facile d’approche et authentique. Je n’ai pas peur d’être expressif, d’utiliser de l’humour au bon moment et d’être honnête avec vous. Mon objectif est de créer un environnement sûr et accueillant où vous vous sentez soutenu(e) et compris(e).J’adopte une approche fondée sur des données probantes, en utilisant des traitements appuyés par la recherche et en empruntant de différents modèles thérapeutiques afin d’adapter la thérapie à vos besoins et à vos objectifs uniques.

Selon ce que vous cherchez, notre travail peut prendre différentes directions. Nous pourrions explorer votre passé et les mécanismes sous-jacents qui influencent vos difficultés actuelles afin de vous aider à développer une meilleure compréhension de vous-même. Ou bien, nous pourrions nous concentrer plus directement sur les problèmes du présent en développant des compétences concrètes pour gérer l’anxiété, réguler les émotions intenses et faire face aux situations difficiles. Et parfois, ce dont vous avez le plus besoin est simplement d’un espace sécuritaire pour vous exprimer librement et vous sentir véritablement écouté(e). Cela aussi, je vous l’offre.

Si vous souhaitez en savoir plus sur moi et sur la façon dont nous pourrions travailler ensemble, vous pouvez réserver une consultation gratuite de 20 minutes.

‘I love all things growing up, whether it’s challenges from the past, or it’s challenges in the present, I’m interested to hear it all.’

Whether you’re a child, teen, or young adult impacted by anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, or self-esteem struggles, or perhaps school feels overwhelming, focus is difficult, and relationships with peers or family feel tense or confusing—know you’re not alone. You may also be seeking relief from past experiences, wanting better emotional regulation, and hoping for tools to feel safer, more confident, and more in control. Therapy can be a supportive space to begin exploring these experiences and building skills for change. Both the past and the present can feel heavy, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. By taking hold of your mental health, or supporting that of a loved one, life can begin to feel more manageable, with renewed meaning and purpose.

I offer trauma-informed therapy for children (7+), teens, young adults, and parents using CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR, and emotion-focused approaches. Sessions are collaborative, culturally responsive, and developmentally appropriate. Together, we will build coping skills, emotional insight, and resilience.

Therapy can help you feel calmer, more grounded, and less impacted by past and present experiences. In our work together, I provide a warm, safe, and supportive space for healing that is grounded in science. If this resonates with you, I invite you to book a free 20-minute consultation to explore what working together could look like.

‘Healing begins where you feel truly seen.’

Do you struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, or challenging family and romantic dynamics that leave you feeling ungrounded, whether in your relationships, your work, or your sense of self?

As a bilingual (English/French) therapist based in Ottawa, I offer collaborative, trauma-informed therapy for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, family conflict, relationship challenges, and cultural or spiritual identity concerns. I have experience supporting BIPOC and faith-based communities, and I bring an understanding of how cultural and spiritual context can shape emotional wellbeing, when this is something a client wishes to explore.

My approach is integrative, drawing from humanistic therapy, CBT, DBT, parts work, and mindfulness to help you reconnect with your values, strengths, and emotional resilience.

Together, we’ll explore the patterns that no longer serve you in a warm, safe space. Helping people feel seen, supported, and strengthened is my mission. Let’s move toward emotional clarity, deeper self-worth, and more meaningful relationships, with others and with yourself.

Life can feel overwhelming at any age. Children and teens may struggle with making friends, managing anger, anxiety, depression, grief, or behavioural challenges that affect life at school, at home, or in relationships. Adults, too, can find themselves feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or weighed down by stress, loss, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions.

Whether you are seeking support for yourself or for your child, therapy can provide a space to better understand emotions, navigate challenges, and feel more connected and supported.

My work with children and pre-teens is rooted in Drama and Play Therapy, offering creative, developmentally appropriate ways to explore emotions, process grief and trauma, and build emotional resilience. Using client-centred drama therapy and non-directive play therapy within a trauma-informed approach, I help young clients express themselves in ways that feel natural, safe, and empowering.

Alongside my work with children, I also support adults through traditional talk therapy, using creative modalities when needed. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, ASD, ADHD, or life transitions, therapy can offer a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in creating a safe space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace.

Whether through creative expression or conversation, my goal is to help clients feel seen, supported, and understood. Book online today for a free 20-minute consultation and we’ll get started together.

Hi there! It’s nice to meet you. I’m Regan, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), and I work with teens (16+), students, and adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or trying to keep up with everything on their plate.

You might be someone who feels pressure to keep it all together, overthinks everything, or struggles to slow down without guilt. Maybe you’re dealing with burnout, anxiety, depression, grief, or big life transitions, and part of you is wondering how to cope while still showing up for everything else.

I offer a calm, supportive space where we slow things down and make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface. Together, we explore patterns, build emotional awareness, and develop coping strategies that feel realistic and sustainable. My approach draws from ACT, CBT, IFS, and Emotion-Focused Therapy, all through a trauma-informed lens.

Over time, clients often feel more grounded, less overwhelmed, and better able to respond to challenges with clarity and self-trust. Therapy can become a space where you don’t have to carry everything on your own, and reaching out can feel like a big first step. If you’re curious about working together, feel free to reach out to book a free 20-minute consultation.
