Several times in life we are all hit with something that’s really tough. We feel terrible. We don’t like it. We want it to go away. We do a variety of things in an effort to feel better. Some of us withdraw, hide, or do other things that allow us to avoid the problem. Others speak up, attack, or try to control the situation. These things may help in the short term however, they can also create additional problems and then we find ourselves back where we began, often worse off.

For over a decade, I’ve worked in the mental health and addictions field, supporting first responders, healthcare workers, and other high-functioning individuals through trauma, depression, anxiety and other challenges. I’ve sat with people who were trained to stay calm in chaos, and who quietly wondered when it became so hard to feel okay in everyday life. Why Survive to Thrive? Because surviving is something you’ve already mastered. Thriving is the part that deserves your attention now. My role isn’t to “fix” you, it’s to help you reconnect with yourself in ways that feel practical, respectful, and sustainable.

Being in the nexus of something means you are right in the middle of it hence, easy to feel overwhelmed by the multitude of things coming at you. At Nexus, I will work with you within the context of a nonjudgmental, collaborative and healing therapeutic relationship to parse out and clearly see the interwoven links and connections that contribute to how you experience, perceive and interpret life's challenges, difficulties and obstacles. By understanding these connections, we can separate what is important to you and focus on your goal(s) to improve your mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

If you’re living with anxiety, depression, grief, miscarriage or infant loss, or the impact of trauma, it can feel overwhelming and exhausting. You may feel stuck in cycles of worry, sadness, or self-doubt. Or perhaps you and your partner are struggling—communication feels strained, conflicts repeat, and despite your best efforts, you can’t bridge the distance. You don’t have to face this alone. I support individuals and couples through these challenges. Together, we’ll create a safe space to explore what’s holding you back, build healthier ways of coping, and move toward healing, growth, and more fulfilling relationships.

Life is challenging and difficult at times. It can create distress that affects every part of who we are: our thoughts, feelings, physical well-being and spirit, upsetting our ability to be effective with ourselves, others and manage the demands of our daily life. When we decide to reach out for help, we are acting courageously. Particularly if we do not have the energy or believe that things can be better. I am passionate about helping people. I work to understand the world from your point of view and help you gain a sense of balance and confidence to make positive changes in your life.

Welcome—I’m glad you’re here. If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, infertility, miscarriage, or the impact of past or present trauma, it can feel overwhelming and isolating, and hard to know where to turn. You may also be navigating a relationship where communication feels strained, familiar conflicts keep resurfacing, or a sense of distance has grown despite genuine efforts to reconnect. You don’t have to carry this alone.

Do you miss the connection and friendship you once had with your partner? Are you tired of feeling anxious, angry or tired all the time? You may feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or stuck because you think you’ve tried everything, but nothing sticks. Do the overwhelming feelings cause you to shut down because you don't know where to start? You want change, but bringing a therapist into the fold makes you uneasy as you may have learned that therapy lacks real connection. If REAL connection matters to you, I’m your human. I want to help you to achieve the life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible.

I have received specialized training in evidence-based trauma and grief interventions, including EMDR, Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioural Conjoint Therapy for PTSD (CBCT for PTSD), and Prolonged Grief Treatment (PGT).
No two experiences of trauma or grief are the same. You may feel as though life will never feel right again, or that the pain you’re carrying will never ease. You might even wonder how to get through the day when you’re struggling just to breathe. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking understanding — to make sense of what has happened, to be truly heard, and to find a safe space to gently explore new ways of living. Drawing on my broad and deep professional experience, I work alongside clients like you who are searching for hope and reassurance that, in time, life can get better.
