Reaching out for therapy is a courageous first step, and I welcome you! Therapy is deeply confronting and vulnerable work; the process will feel painful at times – but not always! There will also be moments of humour, insight and liberation. I am passionate about supporting people through relational challenges, including cross-cultural relationships, high conflict dynamics, ethical non-monogamy and neurodivergence within relationships. I work with partners to help foster greater trust, communication, safety and intimacy.

Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Relational Life Therapy (RLT) I support partners in recognizing dysfunctional patterns, expressing deeper emotions and and building a more secure, connected relationship. When appropriate, I weave in somatic exercises to tap into the intuitive wisdom of the body.

My counselling style is non-shaming, caring and affirming; my communication style is transparent and direct with a sprinkle of humour. I find myself most often combining talk-therapy, somatic therapy and practical approaches. I understand that every situation is unique, and finding the right support matters. Please reach out to discuss your needs.

Tiffany Tickner

Counsellor, MC, RCC, CCC

Nadia's magnetic presence, coupled with her background in nursing for over a decade, offers a unique and holistic perspective. Nadia's relational, caring and collaborative approach prioritizes client's own expertise in their healing.

Madeleine Downey

Counsellor, BSc, MC, RCC

Nadia offers deeply grounded, relational care and has an exceptional ability to hold complexity without flinching. She meets people with compassion and strength, providing attuned support and advocacy that is not diminished by institutional constraints.

Ruairidh Pederson

Registered Psychotherapist, MC, RCC

Nadia provides an incredible warmth in how she shows up, both personally and professionally. Working alongside Nadia, I was able to witness how she shows up authentically for clients and attributes a trauma-informed, social justice lens to her work.

Mic Deane

Counsellor, MC, RCC

When I'm working with a client and they ask for a couples therapist referral, Nadia is always top of mind for me. I primarily work with LGBTQ+ folks and feel totally confident referring them to her, knowing they will get the same level of affirming care.

Henna Dhillon

Counsellor, MC, RCC

Nadia's relational approach helps clients feel at ease, while holding onto an anti-oppressive feminist approach that outlines the social justice issues at hand in her work. Her background in nursing bolsters her work even further.

My counselling style is non-shaming, caring, affirming and strengths-based; my therapeutic approach is a combination of talk therapy, emotion- focused, and somatic approaches. I also draw from attachment theory emphasizing the lasting impact that early attachment relationships have on how individuals approach romantic relationships, friendships, and parenting relationships as adults.
