Sorry prepares for joy, you know how to handle the trauma, learn how to handle the joy, Susan Alexander, psychotherapist
The Road to this Room...

With decades of experience in the wellness field as a former RMT and longtime yogi, I bring a grounded, compassionate energy to the therapy room. My approach combines evidence-based practices with a calm, collaborative style to help clients feel supported, heard, and empowered to make meaningful change.

 

As the mother of a brave cancer survivor, I know resilience takes support. Life has taught me that while stress and loss profoundly shape us, healing often opens the door to unexpected growth, courage and new possibilities (like earning a Master’s degree at midlife.)

​

Pain shared is pain divided. Let's co-create a safe space for you to exhale, reconnect with yourself, and make a plan to move forward — one step at a time.

​

 WHAT: Individual Psychotherapy

 WHO: Adults & teens (ages 16-106)

 WHY: Anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, parenting and caregiving burnout, grief and loss, self-worth, loneliness, trauma recovery, and post-traumatic growth.

 HOW I stay GROUNDED:
solo time, yoga, laughing with friends & dancing by moonlight.

Real Talk. Real Change.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative process guided by a licensed therapist you can trust. In a supportive, judgment-free space, you’ll explore your thoughts, emotions and patterns—with curiosity, not criticism. Work with me to ease anxiety, shift unhelpful patterns, strengthen your relationships, and move through life with greater confidence and self-compassion.

​

Most of us were not taught how to express our needs, navigate big emotions, set healthy boundaries, or clarify our core values. It is no surprise that many of us end up moving through life on autopilot, repeating patterns shaped by childhood, culture, and societal expectations. Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and begin making choices rooted in your own values, insight, and truth.

"No one else should be able to tell you who you are;

that's for you to decide." ~ Alok Vaid-Menon 

Ottawa is located on the traditional, unceded territory of the Anishinabe Algonquin Nation. I acknowledge the ongoing impacts of colonialism and the unearned advantages it creates, and I am committed to supporting equity, inclusion, and the dismantling of oppressive systems. My practice is grounded in safety, inclusivity, and respect, where all are welcome to show up as their full and authentic selves.​
