I will probably laugh at your jokes. No, seriously! I think laughter is one of the most powerful ways we loosen the grip of fear and shame. Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical to be effective. You can expect me to be warm, steady, and straightforward with you. The hours we spend together matter. This isn't just another conversation, it's intentional work. Real change happens when two people sit down, tell the truth, and aren't alone in it. We’ll call those patterns out when they show up in session (and they will), not to shame you, but to understand them. When we can see what’s happening in real time, we can adjust.

Does the pressure to live up to 'good vibes only' leave you wondering if there's something wrong with you? We live in a world where disconnection abounds and vulnerability is shamed. Life hands us pain and expects us to put on a smiling face. Therapy with me is an attempt to provide an alternative: a space of understanding, safety and non-judgement. I believe that humans make change while in relationships that support empowerment, therefore I place high value on our working relationship. Working with me will allow you to have a space where you're nurtured, challenged, and seen.

I am a registered clinical social worker, a registered board certified art therapist, an art therapy certified supervisor, a philosopher of consciousness studies, a teacher and an author. I work with people dealing with trauma (sexual abuse/assault; accidents; illness); loss (death, divorce, life transitions; job displacement; career changes); and mental health issues (anxiety, depression, PTSD, addictions). I also provide supervision and consultation to professionals. The most common words people use to describe their work with me are "inspiring" and "epiphany".

I work with capable, caring adults who often feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from themselves. Many are helpers, nurses, social workers, caregivers, or are navigating burnout, relationship stress, or major life transitions. They often overgive, people-please, and struggle with boundaries. They usually say, “I understand why I am like this, but I can’t seem to change it.” In therapy, we work with both mind and body, noticing how patterns live in the nervous system. EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy help process what words alone can’t reach, so change is felt, not just understood.

I am a registered clinical counsellor and have been working as a counsellor since 2020. I offer clients a supportive place to be heard, validated, and to personally reflect. I believe that there are many life experiences that bring individuals into counselling. I am looking for clients who want to see a change in their lives, want to better understand themselves, and who want to heal from the challenges life has thrown at them. I enjoy meeting my clients where they are at and supporting them along their journey. I work with adults, families, couples, and youth.

Trauma can overwhelm our ability to cope and may stem from many life experiences. When unprocessed, it can impact mental health, showing up as PTSD, anxiety, depression, or challenges with focus and regulation often seen in ADHD.
You’re not alone. At our clinic, we offer trauma-informed care, including EMDR, to help process past experiences, improve emotional regulation and attention, and support meaningful, lasting change. Together, we’ll build resilience and move toward a more grounded, empowered you.

Often, clients seek my support because they feel overwhelmed by emotional challenges like anxiety, grief, identity questions, or relationship struggles. Clients may have a history of trauma or complex mental health concerns. They are often reflective and motivated but might feel stuck or uncertain about how to move forward. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and respected. A potential outcome of therapy might be improved emotional resilience and a deeper connection with values, identity, and a sense of purpose.
Clients have the option to incorporate art therapy or meet outdoors for nature-based therapy.

Do you feel like you are too much and not enough all at the same time? Do you hear the phrase ‘just love your body’ and you know deeply that there is more to that statement? Our society holds many messages about being acceptable and conforming while we just want to trust what’s right for us. Add into that all the ways we are taught to push down, set aside and outright ignore our feelings of grief. My practice is here for people seeking to develop a more trusting and compassionate relationship with themselves.

You might be feeling overwhelmed right now—like you’re constantly in your head, disconnected from yourself, or unsure how to move forward.
You don’t have to navigate that alone. When we work together, you’ll have a space where you can slow down, turn inward, and begin to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface—without pressure or judgment.
I’m Nadia, and I approach therapy as a collaborative, human process. I won’t just sit quietly or offer surface-level advice. Together, we’ll gently build self-awareness, explore your experiences, and make sense of patterns in a way that feels grounded and meaningful to you.

You are not broken—and you don’t need fixing. At your core, you are whole. But life, trauma, loss, stress, and relationships can make you feel fragmented or unaligned. With humility and reverence, my work is about helping you remember who you are beneath the layers: sovereign, worthy, and capable of living an authentic life. I work with adults navigating men's issues, life transitions, grief, disordered eating, relationship challenges, and childhood trauma. I also support individuals who feel burnt out, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns they no longer want to repeat. Healing is not linear, but it is possible.
