I have been a Registered Nurse for over 15 years and have worked in a variety of settings; most recently in acute and community mental health care for the past 9 years at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. With a rich and varied background as a nurse, complemented by extensive training and exposure in mental health care, I present a uniquely holistic approach to psychotherapy. My nursing experience has not only equipped me with a deep understanding of physical health and its intricate connection to mental well-being but has also fostered a profound empathy towards individual client experiences. This blend of medical knowledge and empathetic insight allows me to address the multifaceted nature of mental health issues with an exceptional level of care and understanding. My exposure to diverse health scenarios has honed my ability to adapt and respond effectively to a wide range of psychological challenges, making me an ideal psychotherapist for individuals seeking comprehensive and compassionate mental health care.
