As a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, and as a supervisor/consultant, I am earnest about building and supporting people to reach their potential in all aspects of their lives, both personally, and professionally.
I started my practice in 2003. Prior to this, I gained invaluable experience working as a social service worker in various social service settings, and non-profits in the Ottawa area.. I have also worked as a counsellor in university settings. And have taught both undergraduate and graduate courses related to communication and counselling at the University Of Ottawa and the Canada School of Public Service. For nearly a decade and half, I worked as a Employee Assistance Service provider, serving clients and often introducing new clients to a safe, therapeutic space to unntangle the stressors of their lives. I've been honoured to walk with clients through the challenges of government transitions, support our troops and their families going and returning from various postings, wade the challenges of government restructuring, and adjust to the rapid changes we've had to overcome due to COVID.
I believe in respecting people as whole individuals who are resourceful and creative. My aim is to offer an attentive therapeutic ear and collaboratively "walk with" you on a personal exploration, that could potentially help you become increasingly conscious of yourself, validate your inner world while opening up new possibilities that encourage emotional balance, relational well-being, and positive change. I draw on my graduate and post-graduate training to work from various mainstream psychological and empirically validated approaches integrating, where beneficial and desired, personal concepts of spirituality and/or religious belief.
Aside from Counselling I am also a Clinical Supervisor to Qualifying and Registered Psychotherapists, and those seeking supervision in relational therapies with CAMFT/AAMFT.
I strongly believe that good therapists work best in a diverse community. I hope to cultivate this sense of community and learning in my supervisees by making spaces and opportunities for engagement to happen.
When I'm not working I'm usually hiking or skiing in the woods, cooking and creating in my kitchen with local foods, and international dishes. Sharing time and celebrating moments with family and my community of friends and colleagues, travelling and being inspired by creativity of different places and spaces, volunteering my time in community projects, enjoying the making and appreciating art in all its forms, especially music and capturing the beauty of nature in photography.

The quality of our relationships is pivotal to our health. Evidence-based psychotherapy from a relational perspective holds that people are inseparable from their web of relationships. Within the context of a relationship, I will accompany you on an exploration that focuses on discovering relational patterns and deepening emotional awareness from a trauma-informed perspective.
I assist individuals and couples with overwhelming feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, communication breakdowns, and stresses due to changing life circumstances, family disruption, childhood/acute traumas, losses, relocation, and illness.
My experience extends to supporting people within work organizations, and equips me with skills to assist leaders, managers and employees through organizational change, managerial challenges, operational stressors, and vicarious traumas due to the nature of their work, burnout, work/ life balance, demotivation at work, workplace conflict, debilitating illness (chronic pain). I also support cleints dealing with harassment/bullying in the workplace, intersectionality and equity issues as it relates to employee health and leadership, PTSD, and addictions,
I have been a therapist full-time for nineteen years. I nurture my skills in both individual and relational therapy, in and outside our sessions, by pursuing relevant continuing education opportunities and on-going education, and taking seriously my own personal development. I maintain in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).

"Although Psychotherapy can succeed by focusing on either psychology of the individual or the organization of the family, both perspectives, psychology and social context- are useful for a full understanding of people and their problems. " (Nichols, pg 6) Nichols, Micheal P., (2013) Family Therapy: Concepts and Methods (tenth edition),
Live – The joys of a balanced and healthy life are the enjoyment of relationships, connection to ones purpose, an awareness of oneself, a concern for others in need, energy, focus, clarity and peace of mind. We all face challenges in life, however, that set us off balance, and compromise our health, mentality, physically and spiritually, You may be aware that you are not coping with these stresses in a healthy way by using food or substances to feel better, avoid people, or experience bouts of despair and/or anxiety. I strive to support you on your journey, help you restore strength and resilience in times of difficulty, and rediscover a path to health.
Love - Are you in a committed long-term relationship with someone? Is your family going through life cycle changes? In the best of times, our significant relationships adn families can be a source of strength, support, encouragement, intimacy, joy and connection. But they can also be a source of doubt, discord, conflict, resentment that can sometimes heighten feelings of anger, hurt, insecurity, and vulnerability. Couples and family counselling aims to help couples find new ways of relating, understanding and reconnecting that are fulfilling and growth-oriented.
Work – Whether you are an executive, an entrepreneur, manager or employee, work can be a source of creativity, pleasure, fulfillment and meaning when things are going well, but it can also be a source of stress due to conflict, operational stress, burnout, competing demands, organizational changes and heavy workloads. These can in turn have a negative impact on performance, motivation, health, relationships, and personal career goals. Capital Counselling aims to provide a space to clarify sources of dis-ease in the workplace and help you find solutions to workplace concerns that preserve your ability to cope with the challenges of work.
Our work together is confidential.
I adhere to the highest standard of confidentiality set out by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and the Ontario Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (CAMFT)
