“I want some help with my brain, so my first thought is to connect with a nurse”

  • My Approach

    I truly believe that knowledge can help you feel empowered. And when you feel empowered, you’re able to create success. I want to help empower you, and help support you in creating a greater sense of mental wellness.

  • Do You Work in Healthcare?

    Being a nurse, and having worked as a nurse for 20 years, makes me uniquely positioned to help support others who work in healthcare. I know you. I am you. I’ve been on the busy floor, I’ve lived through the toxic work relationships and I’ve felt frustrated when things didn’t change. The path of our careers may look different, and I can empathize in a completely relatable way. We may not be able to fix the healthcare system, but we sure can work together to shift your wellness.

  • Let's Work Together

    I’m trained and have experience with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as well as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), both individually and in a group setting. You’ll benefit from my experience with techniques related to relaxation, mindfulness, and assertiveness. As unique as you are, so is the approach to therapy. Let’s take a look at the best ways to support you!

  • The Right Connection

    One of the most important things about therapy, is a good (great?) connection with your therapist. You need to feel heard, empowered, validated and that you can trust your therapist. That’s why you get the chance to connect ahead of time - to make sure we’re a great fit and get a sense of whether it feels good to you.

  • Who is Therapy For?

    Anyone! Psychotherapy is the process of talking, exploring and helping support someone to reach their best mental wellness. You certainly don’t need a mental health diagnosis - anyone at any age can benefit from therapy! In today’s world, can’t we all use a little extra support?

Those worst-case-scenario thoughts don’t define you. If you’re feeling burnt out, this won’t last forever.

Let’s work together to help you build some coping skills, and get feeling better, sooner.
