Welcome. My name is Kerry and I provide psychotherapy services to adults in Ottawa (in person and virtual) and Ontario wide (virtual).Areas of practice:
*Trauma, including intergenerational and childhood *Anxiety, depression, stress and burnout *Relationship/marital conflict and family issues *Supporting the indigenous community - registered provider for NIHB mental health counselling *Supporting women in: self esteem, body image, aging, perfectionism, emotional labour, parenting *Supporting men in: emotional regulation, trauma recovery, parenting, relationship communication My therapy styleI have a warm and genuine presence. I am non judgemental - nothing shocks me - and I am naturally curious about humans and how we operate. I see many of our behaviours as survival skills that got us through tough times (and may no longer be needed). I bring empathy and understanding to these old patterns and support people in integrating the best parts while laying to rest the pieces that are no longer serving them. I use a combination of talk therapy approaches (such as attachment work, narrative therapy, CBT) and body based approaches (such as Somatic Experiencing) to help people deepen their understanding of their lives while also building practical, concrete skills.
