Ottawa Assistant Team

We're so grateful to have a dedicated team of Assistants for the Ottawa training who come from a wide range of professional backgrounds, each with their own areas of specialty and expertise. Below you will find biographies for each team member, as well as information about how to connect with them and if they will be offering personal sessions or case consults over the course of the training. Please take a look over this page if you are a current student to familiarize yourself with our team.

As a trauma-informed training program, we strive to have 1 Assistant for every 4 students in the training so that you all feel supported both in your educational and emotional needs. Truly, we could not have this training without their help.
