I am a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO #13616) and I offer psychotherapy services to individuals (18+), in English or French. Sessions are available virtually or in-person in Ottawa West (Nepean).
My practice is grounded in Jungian psychology, and integrates Active Imagination, dream analysis, shadow work and somatic explorations.
I work from a psychodynamic, somatic, attachment-based and trauma-informed perspective. I provide my clients with a safe space to explore creatively and dynamically their sense of self, and to understand what has contributed to shaping their self along the way, from early childhood to now.
Through this process of exploration, we address the unconscious, that is, we recognize and make sense of the wounds, the forgotten emotions, the hidden potentialities, the hopes, and the still-to-be-fulfilled dreams.
I believe that health involves a mind-body-soul alignment, and that this alignment is deeply unique and nuanced. I view psychotherapy as a rich process through which we can explore what this alignment feels like.
In my practice, I integrate a variety of practical and creative tools to best suit the needs of my clients. I support the conscious awareness of thoughts, emotions and sensations as we explore the deeper layers of the self, one by one, with care and attention.
I welcome clients who are curious about or keen to explore the depths of their psyche, and are looking for guidance and accompaniment to do so. I have a special interest working with individuals struggling with eating disorders, developmental trauma, or major life transitions. I also have experience working with women (and men) seeking to deepen their understanding of, and relationship to, the archetypal Feminine in its many forms.
If you are interested in working with me, I offer a free 15mn initial consultation to make sure we are the right fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
I believe therapy should be affordable and accessible, and I recognize that therapy can represent a substantial investment, especially when engaging in deeper psychological work that tends to require a more sustained time commitment.
My standard fee for a psychotherapy session is $120 +HST. Sessions are 60mn in length.
I offer both virtual and in-person sessions.
In-person sessions are held in Ottawa West at 102 Centrepointe Drive, Nepean.
Virtual sessions are held using
Jane App, a Canada-based company which offers reliable and secure telehealth services. For online sessions, you will need access to a reliable and secure internet connection, and a functioning audio-video equipment (i.e.
a webcam + possibly earbuds with built-in microphone). A video connection where we can both see one another helps build trust, and it allows me to accompany you more safely as we engage in the therapeutic work.
It is important for your own comfort that you try to be in a quiet and safe room during the session, minimizing the risk of disruptions or disturbances you can reasonably anticipate.
Most health insurance providers offer coverage of psychotherapy services, including services provided by a Registered Psychotherapist, upon submission of receipts for the sessions that have taken place. However, it is always best for you to check prior to beginning therapy if that is the case for your provider.
The answer to this question depends on many factors, including what you are seeking therapy for, and what length and degree of accompaniment you are wanting.
In general, Jungian psychotherapy takes place over a longer time period (at least a few months) compared to counselling services which involve a shorter course of sessions. This is because the process of exploring unconscious dynamics (including the cost of trauma) and integrating those insights into consciousness demands patience, commitment, creativity and spontaneity. That said, the enrichment of the personality that ensues is worth the effort, as Jung would advise.
