At Steady Hearts Psychological Services, I support adults navigating the complexities of life with a health condition, as well as caregivers and health care providers experiencing stress, burnout, or emotional fatigue. My practice is grounded in the belief that strength and vulnerability can coexist — that we can remain steady, even as life throws us off course. The name “Steady Hearts” reflects this balance: being present with what hurts while still holding space for hope, purpose, and change. I offer a space that’s thoughtful, nonjudgmental, and attuned to your context. I believe in your capacity to find greater ease and meaning.
I have extensive experience supporting people living with chronic illness, and I bring both clinical expertise and respect for the emotional toll that health challenges can take - on the mind, body, and relationships. I also have years working in hospital and medical settings, meaning I understand the culture and pressures of health care from the inside.
I offer online therapy across the Maritimes, making care more accessible for those in rural areas, those managing mobility or energy limitations, or health care providers seeking added privacy or flexibility. Whatever you're facing, and wherever you are, you don't have to do it alone.

In our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and your goals. Then, we'll use our shared understanding to decide on how we can best help you make progress. Based on that treatment plan, I may integrate different therapies and theories to help you reach your goals. Your feedback is very important to me along the way; it helps me refine and better focus our work together.
