Hello! My name is Maddy (they/them) and I’m a student therapist working in Ottawa, ON.
I strongly believe that within each and every one of us is the strength, tools and resilience to overcome the challenges that life may throw our way, but sometimes we need some extra support and guidance to tap into these abilities. My goal as a student therapist is to provide you with a safe, empathetic, judgement-free space to identify and build on your pre-existing strengths and to work with you to tailor approaches and techniques that best fit your specific needs and goals.
I take a holistic approach that pulls from a variety of theories to understand and address all the factors, both internal and external, that may be contributing to your concerns. So, whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, a life transition, relationship issues, or other life stressors, I hope to support you in navigating your unique circumstances.
As a queer, non-binary person myself, I have first-hand experience and a deeply held understanding of the importance of feeling seen, accepted, and validated as your authentic self. I am passionate about providing others with an environment of acceptance and empathetic understanding to be able to fully embrace authenticity and explore meaningful insight.
I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you and work together to help you achieve your goals!
