Welcome to Bump Coaching!

I am so pleased to welcome you here.

Bump Coaching was born out of a genuine passion for helping adults, couples, youth and families manage emotional stress, build resilience and reach their full potential.

We are located in the beautiful Ottawa Valley and service Ottawa and surrounding areas.

Whether you are seeking support navigating your divorce or general therapy, We are motivated by one simple rule….You don’t have to do this alone!

Through compassionate divorce coaching, supportive therapy, and balanced mediation, my intention is to help you reconnect with your inner strength, and move forward with clarity and purpose. Our work together will be rooted in warmth, understanding, and the belief that—even in the midst of transition—you can create a life that feels whole, empowered, and deeply aligned with who you are.

Let’s navigate life’s bumps together!

About Me

I am a registered therapist (OCSWSSW) certified coach (CPC) and professional mediator (MCEO) with 20 years of experience providing empathetic, motivational, and solution-focused support to individuals, couples and families.

I created Bump Coaching in 2013 with the intention to help people navigate life’s obstacles with ease and confidence.

I am professionally trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Expressive Art Therapy (EAT), as well as mediation and conflict resolution.

After noticing the correlation between divorce and mental health strain, I introduced Divorce Coaching as a dominant function of my practice.

I am known for my practical approach, infectious energy and my side-kick Lola the lovable french bulldog!

I bring my own personal divorce and co-parenting experience to my practice, allowing me to understand the complex and individual needs of my clients and their families.

My commitment to clients is to deliver services that are accessible, practical and affordable by offering in-home, in-office, virtual and mobile services (yes…I will come to you!)

Enough about me … let’s talk about YOU!

Services

  • Divorce Coaching

    Divorce is one of the toughest challenges people can face. By managing emotional stress, clarifying goals and making informed personal and financial decisions, Divorce Coaching can preserve family relationships, limit financial strain by limiting unnecessary legal intervention and high legal costs.

  • Therapy

    Therapy is essential to address specific problems and life challenges including grief, stress and conflict. It helps you understand thoughts, emotions, and behaviours and aims to reduce psychological distress.

    Different approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Psychotherapy and more all share the goal of helping you feel and function better within a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

  • Mediation

    Mediation is sometimes necessary to help you improve communication with your spouse, negotiate, and reach agreements on Divorce and Separation issues. It encourages collaboration rather than conflict and can help settle issues outside of court including:

    Property and debt division

    Child custody and parenting plans

    Child support

    Spousal support (alimony)

    And other divorce-related matters
