Hi, I’m Almarine — and I’m really glad you’ve found your way here.
If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance something in your life feels heavy, confusing, or simply not how you want it to be. Maybe you’ve been carrying stress or sadness for longer than you’d like. Maybe you’re exhausted from trying to hold everything together. Or maybe you’re finally ready to look at a part of your story that needs gentleness and support.
Wherever you’re coming from, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience supporting adults, couples, families, and teens (14+) through trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, and difficult life transitions. I offer therapy in person in Ottawa and online across Ontario and Quebec, making it easy to get the support you need in a way that fits your life.
My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I draw from evidence‑based therapies — CBT, DBT, TF‑CBT, EFT, EMDR, and attachment‑based practices — but what matters most to me is that you feel heard, understood, and supported at every step. We work together to create a plan that feels aligned with your values, pace, and goals — not rushed, not pressured, just genuinely supportive and tailored to you.
For those who desire it, I also offer the option of integrating a Christian faith‑based lens into therapy. For others, we keep things completely non‑faith‑based. You decide what feels meaningful and helpful.
Most of all, I want you to have a space where you can breathe again — where you can talk openly, make sense of what’s happening in your life, and take steps toward feeling more grounded, more hopeful, and more like yourself.
If you’re ready for support, or even just curious about what therapy might look like, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
You’re welcome to book an appointment whenever you’re ready — I’d love to support you.
