Everyone goes through tough times. Not everyone has to go through those alone without guidance and support. Identifying the right therapist can be an important step in your healing and personal growth.

I provide psychological services, including assessment and therapy, to adults and couples in Ottawa. As a psychologist in supervised practice registered with the College of Psychologists and Behavioural Analysts of Ontario, I am authorized to assess, diagnose, and provide treatment for a variety of concerns, including mood disorders (e.g., Major Depressive Disorder), anxiety (e.g., Social Anxiety Disorder, phobias), sexual disorders, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Whether someone seeks a formal diagnosis or not, I support individuals facing a range of difficulties, such as challenges with mood (e.g., depression), anxiety, trauma, and relationship or interpersonal concerns. Additionally, I have specialized training in sex therapy (e.g., arousal, desire, orgasm difficulties). I am committed to providing an inclusive and affirming space for LGBTQ2S+ individuals, whether they seek to address concerns related to their identities or simply require a supportive environment that respects their lived experiences.

I strive to create a therapeutic environment characterized by mutual respect, trust, and safety. I take an integrative approach, using evidence-based interventions tailored to each person’s unique needs. These may incorporate elements of Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness. Alongside my clinical work, I am a professor passionate about teaching and supporting students as they prepare for careers in psychology. My research examines consent and sexuality, the responsible inclusion of trans identities in research, and strategies to reduce homelessness.

I offer therapy sessions both virtually (telehealth) and in person. For in-person services, I operate from an office conveniently located downtown. For telehealth services, I can work with clients anywhere in Ontario.

I am a psychologist in supervised practice working under the supervision of Dr. Jacob Kaiserman, C.Psych.
