Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
Ruh Care Platform
Ottawa, Ontario, K1E 3V7
I work from a holistic, trauma-informed stance, in which my role is to support clients in their journey of healing; body, mind and spirit are intertwined. I honour the sanctity of every human being, while seeing each individual existing within various webs of relationships with people, beliefs, and cultures.
My experience as a therapist has taught me that many ailments and dysfunctions stem from an unmet fundamental need for connection, to self and others; to love and be loved, which can be experienced as feeling safe and simultaneously vulnerable.
I draw on a variety of evidence-based practices, such as CBT, EFT, and Narrative Therapy, and should clients request it, I also incorporate spirituality, to help clients move in their preferred direction; toward meaning and integration.
Together, we will learn that it is not only possible to heal, but that it is your birthright. Learning to heal entails learning to feel, even those painful, shameful parts that we wish would disappear, and learn to hold ourselves in those places.
Integration occurs when distinct elements are brought together in service of a higher aim; the higher the aim, the greater the integration.
This provides meaning, with which thoughts, emotions, behaviour, and even relationships align.
Thus, integration is synonymous with wholeness, as opposed to fragmentation. To be healthy is to be whole.
I know how difficult it can be to start therapy - let’s start with a quick phone call to better understand each other.
Note: I can only take clients currently located in Canada.
