Directory Listing

I work from a client-centred approach, working collaboratively with my clients in determining their goals for therapy.  I integrate a variety of theories and tools in working with my clients, since I believe a multi-disciplinary approach often works best.  No problem is too big or too small to take that first step to reach out for help and support.  I will work with you to help you feel empowered and able to navigate whatever difficult situations you might be facing.  
 
I recognize that some individuals might not have health care benefits at their place of work and/or are in more constrained financial positions.  I currently supervise interns in my private practice, offering sliding-scale rates.  This allows clients to access the mental health support that they might need but at a cost that they can afford.  

Sandra is an art therapist and registered psychotherapist working with children, teens, and adults. She has experience with anxiety, depression, and school related issues.

Not currently accepting new clients

I am currently a practicum student from Yorkville University nearing completion of a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and completed my practicum at Sturgeon Counselling and West Ottawa Wellness under the supervision of Rachel Sturgeon, M.A., RP, CCC

Although I work mainly from a client-centered approach, which means that the client takes an active role in the therapeutic process, I also combine other approaches in order to meet each individual’s unique personality and needs. As well, I like to integrate creative components into therapy sessions, using elements from art, creative writing and music, when suitable for the client. I aim to create a safe environment and develop strong relationship with my clients. I have a driving passion for my work, immense empathy for my clients and hope for healing and fostering well-being.  I will be supervised by Sandra Grew, RP, at Expressions Counselling.
