Hi, I’m Elaine.

I work with people carrying grief, including the complicated kind that follows a suicide loss. I also work with people who feel stuck in their relationships or are dating and haven’t found what they’re looking for yet.

Many of the people I work with look like they have it together. And in many ways, they do. But privately, they’re exhausted and lonely. They’ve spent so long managing other people’s moods, choosing their words carefully, and shrinking themselves to keep the peace that they’ve lost touch with who they actually are underneath all of that. They might be surrounded by people and still feel profoundly alone, unseen in the relationships that are supposed to matter most. And underneath everything, there’s a fear they don’t always say out loud: that this is just how it will always be, and that they’ll end up alone.

Before I became a therapist, I spent twenty years as an entrepreneur while navigating burnout, financial pressure, losing a family member to suicide, and becoming a wife and mother in my 40s. I know what it means to keep going when life is heavy.

My approach is attachment-based and trauma-informed, with additional training in Trauma of Money, Timeline Therapy, and Hypnotherapy. Sessions are conversational and about understanding the patterns you’re ready to stop repeating.

I am a psychotherapist in training who supports women and adolescents navigating identity, life transitions, and the emotional weight of relationships and caregiving. I also have a particular interest in supporting members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community. My years of lived experience include career changes, fertility challenges and grief, coming out later in life, and co-creating a family arrangement that reflects unique needs. These experiences broaden my understanding of the layered challenges clients face and inform the encouraging, compassionate way I help them pursue meaningful change.

My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, drawing from humanistic, psychodynamic, ACT, and emotion-focused perspectives. I pay close attention to how early relationships and past experiences shape present patterns, while also helping clients build the insight, grounding, and direction needed to move forward.

I offer a warm, curious, and down-to-earth presence so you feel understood, supported, and gently guided as you explore the experiences and questions that feel most significant to you.

Welcome and Thank you! Over the past 8 years I have expanded my knowledge of people and what they go through in their day to day lives. I am a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology student at Yorkville University working toward registration as a psychotherapist, under the supervision of Aline Maia, Registered Psychotherapist (MA, M.Ed, CC-PMH). I am deeply committed to helping people work through the challenges they face so they can move toward lives that feel more balanced, meaningful and fulfilling.

As a therapist, I strive to provide you with a safe, nonjudgemental, and collaborative space where they feel truly heard and supported. My goal is to walk alongside you as you explore their concerns, build coping strategies, and strengthen resilience. I draw on CBT-informed, compassion focused and mindfulness based approaches to help you recognize unhelpful patterns, develop new perspectives, and create practical tools you can carry into their daily lives.

You can expect me to bring warmth, pateince, and curiosity to our sessions. I place a strong emphasis on tailoring therapy to each individual, recognizing that every client’s journey is unique. Together, we may work on managing anxiety, navigating life transitions, processing grief and loss, building healthier relationships, or strengthening self-esteem. I am also passionate about supporting teens and young adults, woman’s issues, and client’s navigating ADHD, ASD, neurodiversity, career changes, and LGBTQ+ identities.

I believe therapy is not only about managing difficulties, but also about fostering personal growth, self-compassion, and empowerment. My role is to help you uncover your strengths, reconnect with what matters most to you, and move toward a life where you can feel grounded, confident, and capable of thriving.

I am a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology student at Yorkville University, working toward registration as a psychotherapist under the supervision of Aline Maia, Registered Psychotherapist (MA, M.Ed, CC-PMH).

I am passionate about supporting adults, particularly those navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and the early years of parenting, through periods of transition, overwhelm, and identity change. Becoming a parent can bring profound joy, but it can also surface anxiety, grief, burnout, and a sense of losing oneself. As a mother of three and a trained Birth Support Companion, I understand firsthand how emotionally complex this season of life can be, and how much support it can take just to feel steady again.

Before entering the counselling field, I worked in both nonprofit and corporate settings. These experiences shaped my understanding of resilience, burnout, competing demands, and the pressure many people feel to “hold everything together” while quietly struggling. This perspective continues to inform my work with clients who are balancing caregiving, work, relationships, and their own well-being.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client. Grounded in person-centred therapy, I integrate attachment-based perspectives, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and nervous system–informed approaches to support emotional regulation, connection, and meaningful change. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are and feel supported in taking gentle, practical steps forward.

I provide virtual sessions on Wednesdays and Thursdays to clients across Ontario and in-person on Fridays in Ottawa.

As a mother and military spouse, I truly appreciate the diverse roles and transitions associated with life and parenthood. My experiences surround issues related to neurodiversity, postpartum depression, trauma-informed care, and the integration of flexible coping strategies. I can empathetically relate to the complexities of navigating life while functioning neurodivergently and managing symptoms of anxiety and depression.

My professional background includes extensive experience throughout Canada in various supportive and strategic roles within military and family resource centers. I have also held multiple positions in mental health and social services, promoting community mental health outreach programs, initiatives for integration and inclusion, supportive group planning, and crisis response interventions.

I am a registred (qualifying) psychotherapist in good standing with the CRPO and have active membership with the OAMHP. Additionally, I receive ongoing clinical supervision under Aline Maia, Registered Psychotherapist (MA, M.Ed, CC-PMH).

My primary focus is to provide support that prioritizes the best interests of my clients while adhering to the professional responsibilities inherent in my practice. I employ a client-centred approach that facilitates a collaborative exploration of life’s challenges, fostering an environment characterized by safety, empowerment, and resilience.

My role as a qualifying therapist is not to tell you what to do, but rather to join and guide you towards different paths.

The therapeutic setting is esteemed as a secure, compassionate, inclusive, and integrative space that emphasizes recovery and healing. I ensure that therapeutic assessments and interventions are tailored to remain sensitive and responsive to the unique needs and goals of each client.

I integrate CBT, DBT, ACT, EFT, and narrative techniques to help you:

• Manage anxious thoughts and physical stress

• Reconnect with identity and values

• Balance personal needs with daily responsibilities
