Christian Counselling Ottawa, ON. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

When I provide Christian counselling, I work with clients to explore how their faith, values, and beliefs can support their emotional wellbeing, even though I am not personally religious. Clients benefit from sessions with me because I honour their spiritual perspective and integrate it into therapy in a respectful, non-judgmental way. My role is to help clients use their faith as a source of strength, guidance, and meaning while addressing emotional or relational challenges. I help clients reflect on how their beliefs influence their thoughts, emotions, decisions, and relationships.

Our faith can be our most powerful asset to face life’s challenges and yet at times it can be difficult to remain steadfast through hardship. Christian therapy can provide a unique opportunity to explore your concerns through the lens of your belief in God and faith values. My approach to Christian therapy is to provide a safe and supportive environment where we can explore your beliefs and how they can support you through life’s challenges. Reach out today to learn more about my approach and your journey to healing.

Many people who hold a belief in a higher power find themselves at some point in their life struggling with doubts about their beliefs. Through the process of verbalizing these faith-based doubts, our experience is normalized and we can gain acceptance of our position today. From this acceptance comes possibilities for opening up to new understandings. Additionally, the ability to call upon the belief of something or someone greater than ourselves can offer us immeasurable strength to proactively take care of life's numerous challenges, eventually allowing us to relinquish the outcome to this higher power.

For many Christians it can be beneficial to their success in therapy to have a therapist that holds an understanding and respect for their religious and spiritual beliefs.

I hold a Masters of Divinity in Clinical Counselling from Tyndale University. I also spent over 20 years involved in various Christian Leadership roles. I do not practice or hold to this religion any longer. In my clinical work, I work with clients who are processing spiritual abuse/trauma and I regularly work with clients who are navigating deconstruction. I believe it is important to clarify, I am affirming and fully accepting of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. I consider myself an ally to this community. In my clinical work, I consider it an honour to work with members of this community who have been wounded by the Christian Church.
