About Me

Greetings! I’m so happy you have taken this step in your journey.

I’m a dedicated Registered Nurse Psychotherapist, bringing over a decade of valuable experience in clinical and community mental health to the table. My passion lies in supporting individuals through challenging times, fostering empowerment, and promoting mental health resiliency.

With a background deeply rooted in person-centred, trauma-informed, relational mental health nursing, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse groups, including youth, adults, parents, and families grappling with overwhelm and unmanageable emotions. As we explore and collaborate together we can co-create the space to uncover ways to cultivate a sense of well-being.

Therapeutic Approach:
While I may tap into various modalities, I primarily use an embodied, relational Gestalt approach through an anti-racism and anti-oppression lens. In our sessions, I will show up with vulnerability and commit to being emotionally present, offering empathy and compassion throughout our journey together.

What You Might Expect:
Our therapeutic journey is a collaborative one. I will be a partner in your pursuit of mental and emotional well-being as we explore alternatives, navigate challenges, and embrace both tears and laughter! I’m here to guide you, ensuring you feel heard, supported, and empowered to thrive. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together—because healing is a shared experience.

Although I work with various modalities, I primarily practice relational Gestalt Therapy.

Gestalt Therapy – Gestalt therapy is a type of relational psychotherapy that often focuses on the individual in the present moment and may aid in various mental health concerns. When we move beyond the past, we may be able to find peace in the present and enrich our interactions in the world around us. As an R.N. Psychotherapist I will help you become more aware of your feelings, needs and ways of relating – in part by noticing how current situations tap into past experiences. I can also help you explore internal conflicts at the root of any recurrent concerns. Through its unique approach, Gestalt therapy increasingly equips you to sit with your vulnerability and move beyond your circumstances. Your therapy might expand your self-confidence and lead to a greater sense of depth, meaning and fulfilment in your relationships and other important areas of your life.

I also have experience in and may draw upon these various modalities:

Somatic EMDR Therapy

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy 

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Narrative Therapy

Therapy, regardless of the modality or techniques used, provides an opportunity to express big feelings, talk through challenges, explore patterns of behaviour, develop greater self-awareness, and offers a space and place to try different ways of being and relating.  I hope to listen to you deeply – ensuring I understand your concerns, be emotionally present to you, and if you wish, collaborate with you to explore alternatives.
