Hello and welcome. Are you feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or stuck in a cycle that is affecting your well-being, relationships, and work? Are you struggling with burnout, compassion fatigue, grief, anxiety, or depression? I believe that incredible change can happen when a supportive and trusting relationship is created and the process of self-exploration and self-discovery begins. I have combined my many years of nursing with my experience as a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) to offer a person-centered and collaborative approach that is based on care, compassion, and curiosity. I hope that I can join you on this journey.

In my therapeutic practice, I prioritize authentic and honest communication, fostering a safe environment where difficult things feel safe to talk about. With compassion as my compass, I balance acceptance-based strategies with methods for change, aiming to support clients as they work at their own pace toward building a life they find worth living, and realize about their capacity to shape their own narratives to transform challenges into opportunities for personal evolution.

I provide a warm, open space for my clients to freely discuss whatever is on their mind. I believe that one of the many benefits of therapy is the client’s experience of being fully seen, heard, and understood by their therapist. Broadly, my approach to therapy looks at how our life experiences can create “schemas” that shape how we think, feel, see the world, see ourselves, and relate to others.

One day, I looked in the mirror and didn't recognize myself. I've spent the last decade learning to let go of what doesn't fit in my life, what isn't authentic, and rebuilding myself from the ground up, physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually, so that life can be lived with purpose and a joy to share with others. During this time, I have learned the fundamentals of how to heal violent trauma and live with autism, the source of tremendous anxiety, depression, and suffering in my life. I'm here to help others who have similarly struggled.

Accepting new clients! Being in a culture that asks you to shrink yourself, your needs, and your beliefs can be exhausting. This may be impacting how you experience your mood, body, food, relationships or the spaces you occupy. There may be ways that you protect the more tender parts of you that get in the way of being more in line with your values, and finally having the relationship with yourself and others that you have always wanted. You might be feeling overwhelmed by changes you need to make and simply don't know where to begin. You deserve to live a rich, expansive life, and to have deep, meaningful connections.

I work with motivated individuals who are looking to work towards better understanding, dealing with, and changing their lives. Clients of mine often have behaviours, thoughts, feelings, or emotions that are dysfunctional or cause them discomfort, such as feeling anxious, depressed, frustrated, reactive, or scattered. Many of my clients have difficulty with behaviours they feel they have no control over, such as compulsions or addictions, aversions, or getting easily frustrated or angry. I help my clients understand why these issues occur and help them create tools and protocols such that they can create the changes they want.

I work with adults (18+yrs) who are challenged by depression, stress, anxiety, and/or trauma. I am particularly experienced in working with those who are struggling with relationships, poor self-confidence/self-esteem, addiction/substance use recovery, burnout, loss and/or grief, or adjusting to major life transitions (e.g., divorce, career, parenthood, retirement). Being a nurse also makes me uniquely positioned to help support others who work in healthcare. So many of my clients are nurses or other health care professionals who are struggling with work-life balance, burnout, or emotional challenges in their personal lives.
