About Me
I am located in Ottawa, Ontario, but I also work with clients remotely. My approach is a client-centered integrative approach, borrowing from a psychodynamics, humanistic, and mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy. My approach centers on helping clients find balance in their lives, guiding them to explore safely and growth. Committed to continually enhancing my skills, I work within a community of fellow therapists to deepen my practice and provide meaningful, impactful therapy. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients can openly explore their emotions, thoughts, and experiences.
Education and Background

I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. My career began in the corporate world as an engineer, where I developed an interest in industrial and organizational psychology. Over time, my focus shifted, and I discovered my true passion lay in counselling and psychotherapy. This journey brought me to the fulfilling work I do today, helping individuals and couples navigate their challenges and enhance their well-being.

My Approach
I believe in getting a complete picture of each client through a biopsychosocial lens, understanding how biological, psychological, and social factors shape who they are. Therapy can serve as an acute treatment during particularly challenging times or as a more ongoing journey to exercise and strengthen the mind and psyche. I’m here to support either path, depending on what each client needs and wants.
Each person’s therapy journey is unique, and each session may feel different as well. I encourage clients to trust the process, stay open, provide feedback, and communicate openly with me so we can make the most out of our work together. My approach is rooted in fostering balance and authenticity, helping clients connect with their true selves while navigating life’s ups and downs with resilience and clarity.
