Welcome
I am a Registered Nurse, Psychotherapist, not your typical therapist, as my background is a bit different. I trained as a nurse first and worked in ER, psychiatry and public health during the pandemic. I specialize in supporting adults who are navigating the unique pressures of professional life, burnout, and significant life/career transitions. Whether you are a healthcare professional, an entrepreneur, or simply someone looking to reconnect with your strengths, I offer a non-judgmental
space where we can explore your inner experiences and develop actionable tools to manage distress and improve your overall well-being.

My Approach
My approach is integrative, holistic, and client-centered. I draw on my extensive background as a Registered Nurse, I view mental health through a comprehensive lens, understanding how physical, mental health and environment intersect. I meet my clients with care and curiosity, working at a pace that feels safe, respectful, and empowering. You’ll be in a collaborative environment where you can build resilience, create more self-awareness, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Experience & Perspective
I bring a unique dual perspective to my practice as a Registered Nurse, Psychotherapist. My clinical background allows me to support clients with a deep understanding of health systems and the complex stressors often faced by those in high-pressure roles. I have extensive experience working with healthcare workers, self-employed individuals, and professionals managing the complexities of career shifts and identity. I am dedicated to providing evidence-based, compassionate care that
affirms the diverse lived experiences of those I serve.

Areas of Focus
● Burnout & Occupational Stress: Navigating the specific demands of high-pressure work
environments.
● Life Transitions: Support during career changes, shifting identities, or personal milestones.
● Anxiety & Stress Management: Developing practical, individualized coping strategies.
● Self-Employment Challenges: Navigating the unique stressors of independent, self-directed
work.
● Perfectionism & People-Pleasing: Breaking patterns that lead to exhaustion.
● Holistic Wellness: Addressing the intersection of physical health and mental well-being.

Working Together
I believe that healing happens through awareness, self-compassion, and the safety of a supportive therapeutic relationship. When we are seen and heard without judgment, we can begin to make sense of our experiences, rediscover our strengths, and move toward a life that feels more balanced and authentic. I am committed to walking alongside you as you navigate your challenges with care and compassion. If you are feeling overwhelmed or simply looking for a partner in your growth, I
