My Approach
Real conversations. Evidence- informed care. No fix-it energy- just space to be fully human.
Whole Person, Not a Diagnosis
You are not a problem to be solved. I don't reduce people to symptoms or timelines. I work relationally- which means how we connect and how you feel in the room (or on the screen) with me matters.
​
Whether you're navigating the exhaustion of new parenthood, the ripple effects of anxiety, or a lifetime of holding it all together, I meet you where you are, no pressure, no pretending.
What Guides My Work
I draw from therapies that grounded in science and shaped by real-world wisdom. You might notice themes from:
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
-
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
-
Polyvagal- informed support
-
Attachment and parts-informed approaches
-
Mindful self compassion
-
Nervous system regulation techniques
-
Brainspotting
​
But I don't follow a riding protocol or expect you to fit into a box. Instead, we'll collaborate to find what actually helps you to feel supported, steady, and understood
​
What a Session Feels Like
Clients often say they feel both seen and safe-
and sometimes surprised that therapy doesn't feel so "therapy-ish". You might laugh, you might cry, you might sigh with relief that someone finally gets it.
​
I might offer a grounding practice, reflect something back to your with a new lens, or ask a curious question to gently stretch what's been stuck. I always leave room for your pace and process
Virtual & In-Person Options
I offer virtual sessions across Ontario and Nova Scotia and in-person therapy in Cornwall, ON.
Whether we meet on screen or face-to-face, I bring the same presence and care.
​
Not sure what option is best for you?
That's okay. We can chat about what might feel most comfortable and supportive during your free consult.

(Or email me if you don't see a time that works- I hold a few spots at my discretion)
​
Ethics, Consent & Respect
As a nurse psychotherapist, I hold ethics, consent, and dignity at the centre of every interaction. I'm here to support your autonomy, not override it. You're the expert on your life. I'm just here to help you make sense of it with a bit more kindness and clarity.
TL;DR - Therapy with Me is...
Collaborative and flexible
Gently challenging
Grounded in curiosity, not judgement
Sometimes messy, sometimes hilarious, always human
Still Not Sure?
Starting therapy is a big decision- I get that.
Whether you're feeling burned out, overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what you even need, you don't have to figure it out alone.
​
I offer a free 15- minute consult to help you get a feel for what working tougher might be like- no pressure, no commitment. Just space to ask questions and see if it feels like a fit.

Let's start where you are.
I'll meet you there.
