Trauma occurs many ways – abuse, accidents, divorce, death and it can suck the life right out of you. Maybe you’ve had sleepless nights and restless mornings and it does not feel worth it to get out of bed. Maybe you've thought of harming yourself or possibly had suicidal thoughts. Trauma can affect all parts of your life; your relationships, your ability to work, your ability to feel safe and happy. Sometimes you feel like all is well and that you have dealt with it. You feel fine and 6 months later it feels like it just happened, It is possible to get your life back. Reach out, I can help.

At times, we all need support to navigate the challenges and difficulties we face in our lives. My counselling approach is rooted in the belief that understanding our experiences, our story, and ourselves can be a transformative journey towards greater self-acceptance and hope for the future. I recognize that our challenges are often a reflection of what we have been through in the past, shaping our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. As we gain perspective and compassion for ourselves, we are empowered to develop healthier coping strategies, heal from past wounds, and embark on a path towards personal growth and fulfillment.

Accepting NEW clients online or In person- Whether you are seeking counselling for the first time or returning for new support, it can be difficult to reach out. I work with clients who may be feeling “stuck” or “not like themselves” and wanting to work through why this might be. It could be related to relationships, mental health such as depression or anxiety, lack of confidence or self-esteem, work conflict, high self-expectations or any other number of life stressors. You are the expert in your life and use a collaborative approach to ensure you feel supported in session and empowered to use the tools provided out of session.

Hi! I am a counsellor with a deep passion and appreciation of all things involving the body. I enjoy supporting clients in developing and cultivating a more meaningful and connected relationship with their own body experience, whatever it may be. My areas of passion + focus include eating disorders, disordered eating, body image, body dysmorphia, dis/embodiment, body trust, body liberation, body neutrality, body acceptance, shame, sexuality, depression, anxiety, and anything else that the body experiences and holds. My work is rooted in self-compassion, as that is the foundation upon which all good and sustainable things are built.

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.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to look for the right Counsellor- ME! LOL! Finding a Counsellor who is warm, kind, humorous and inviting will help you open up. We can talk about whatever is troubling you and stealing peace in your life. We can find solutions, a plan and goals in helping you move forward or recover. Sometimes clients have mental illness, relationship or personal problems that are stopping them from leading the best life possible. My work is to help you find out what the problem is and to find out what supports and strengths you already have and used in the past. Together we will explore solutions.

Anyone is welcome regarding my preference for particular clientele. I am open to any kind of mental health distress that you might be experiencing, and I will always do my best to provide the best treatment possible.

At The Therapy Nest, your mental well-being is our top priority. We use a trauma-informed approach specifically designed to help clients manage their lives.

How do we help? We teach you simple and useful strategies you can use right away.

Mental health is never static; it ebbs and flows with the unique realities of our lives through experiences of joy, trauma, growth, loss, relationships and everyday stress. Understandably, some of those moments' impacts will leave us bruised, lost or broken. The concept of becoming overwhelmed by one’s thoughts, feelings, or bodily existence can create a sense of chaos and hopelessness; a future that you, the individual daring enough to be in this moment, have determined is but a moment of your journey, not your story. Therefore, I offer a space where you can experience safety in exploration and guidance in the recovery of self.

Whether you are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, or personal transitions, you seek a space where you can express yourself openly and without judgement. While I would like to say I am committed to creating a safe space for folks, I also recognize that there are very few, if any, spaces deemed safe for those we work with, therefore, I aim to provide a space that is open, transparent, and non-judgmental. You have already done the hardest part. Now, together, we can begin to explore new perspectives, develop coping skills, and achieve the goals that matter most to you!

I have a supportive, responsive and compassionate approach to therapy. I believe you are the expert in your own story, and my goal in therapy is to create a relationship built on trust and respect where you feel accepted and challenged to grow in new and meaningful ways. I support people in processing many kinds of concerns, including anxiety, depression, anger, panic, PTSD, developmental trauma, birth trauma and other experiences. I integrate trauma processing therapies like Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, inner child, parts work and other person-centred approaches to support you in healing and working toward your goals.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I have a Masters Degree in Social Work and nearly 20 years experience offering therapy to individuals, couples and families. Reaching out for therapy can be difficult. It can create feelings of anxiety or shame, or a fear of being misunderstood or judged. I believe that therapy should be a non-judgmental, collaborative experience, where you can comfortably uncover and confront the obstacles preventing you from living the life you deserve. My goal is to provide a non- judgmental, compassionate, trauma-informed, queer positive, gender affirming, respectful space that is inclusive to all.

Accepting new clients! Tess is an empathic, kind, and nonjudgmental counsellor who is passionate about helping individuals overcome their struggles with mental health, and cultivate the self-compassion needed to heal from past traumas. Stress and anxiety, depression, behaviour and relationship difficulties have feelings of shame and self-criticism at their core. Directing compassion toward ourselves can allow us to feel safe and accepted, giving us the caring motivation to work through our suffering, to change unhelpful patterns, connect with our values, and get the most out of our life.
