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

I provide psychological assessment and therapy services to adults and couples. I serve people facing a range of difficulties, such as issues with mood (e.g., depression), anxiety, trauma, relationship or interpersonal difficulties. Further, 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 issues 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 approaches to meet the specific needs of people I work with, which may involve elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness.

I am in the final months of my doctoral program in clinical psychology at the University of Ottawa. Currently, I work as a part-time professor at the university, a role I will maintain until January 2025, when I will transition to full-time; duties include training students in psychotherapy for adults and couples, teaching both graduate and undergraduate courses, and leading a research program that focuses on sexuality, the responsible inclusion of trans identities in research, and interventions aimed at reducing homelessness.

I offer therapy sessions both virtually and in-person. For in-person services, I operate from the University of Ottawa’s Vanier building, conveniently located downtown, steps away from the uOttawa LRT station.

I am a therapist working under the supervision of Dr. Jacob Kaiserman, C.Psych.
