As a registered social worker, I provide counselling services to adults, couples, and families who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, work-related issues, and changes in relationships.
Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Do you spend your time dwelling on the past, or worrying about the future? Are you experiencing difficulties that keep you from living the life you want to live? We all face hurdles that prevent us from living a more meaningful life and, as your therapist, I can help.

My diverse training and experience makes me a great fit in supporting people across the lifespan in areas such as relationships (intimate, familial, friendships, and even dome), neurodivergence, burnout/compassion fatigue, substance use/other dependencies, and mental health concerns like anxiety and depression.
When we meet, you'll find a space free of judgment/assumptions. My style (and space) is informal, relational and comfortable. I also offer less traditional options such as Walk-and-Talk, where we take things outside, and Equine Assisted Therapy, where we work with horses- both are a beneficial mind-body experience for those less comfortable in "the chair."

Most of our clients struggle with relationship issues stemming from childhood trauma and ADHD.
Therapy that actually gets ADHD. If you have ADHD, it’s normal to feel unsure about what you need from therapy, especially when most therapists aren’t trained to support neurodivergent minds. At The Therapy Nest, many of our therapists have lived experience with neurodivergence and are certified ADHD service providers. We're also trauma-informed, which means we create a space that’s not only ADHD-affirming but also deeply safe and sensitive to your past experiences.

I am a white, queer, non-binary and politicized therapist with availability to work with individuals and couples who are residents of Ontario or Newfoundland & Labrador.
I ground my practice in a commitment to prioritize the voice, collaboration and agency of those I work with. I am also attentive to the many ways that structural power, social systems, and relational experiences can impact our lives and shape our struggles. About all, I listen closely to learn what people identify as important and relevant to their lives.

Relationships can give us a lot of comfort, but to be their best, they require hard work - and some guidance every now and then.
Whether you feel like you have fallen out of love, are considering divorce, or are getting married and want to know each other more deeply, relationship counselling is a worthwhile investment. Therapy can help promote the intimacy and passion that healthy relationships are built on. Relationships are my speciality.

However, helping individuals struggling with relationship challenges has become my favourite area of private practice.
I feel people need to communicate with each other more often. We need to talk in a non-judgmental environment and realize that it's ok to ask for help. I will try to help anyone who wants to make positive changes in their life. I feel counselling is not only for those living with a mental health disorder, it is also for those who wish to maintain optimal overall wellness.
