From the outside, you look like you’re managing. On the inside, you’re exhausted, overstimulated, and stuck in overthinking or shutdown. You might be parenting, caregiving, leading at work, or holding a lot for other people. Therapy can help you come back to yourself. We’ll slow things down, make sense of what’s happening underneath, and build steadier ways of coping that fit real life.
I work with high-capacity adults, helpers, and high achievers navigating anxiety, burnout, and big life shifts. I also support chronic illness, health stress, and the mental load of parenting and postpartum. Therapy is down-to-earth, steady, and practical, with a nursing-informed lens. Cornwall + virtual Ontario and Nova Scotia.
You’ve carried a lot for a long time. You don’t have to carry it alone. If you’re curious about working together, book a free 15-minute consult. No pressure. Just a brief conversation to see if we’re a fit and what the next right step might be.
