Welcome to Synapse.

I have a long history of helping people. My career in social work, healthcare, and mental health has spanned decades. I’ve come to learn that while we all struggle, having someone to listen, to talk to, to navigate the tough stuff with… it makes a big difference.

Today, I help individuals and couples navigate emotional challenges and relationship struggles. There are patterns in our behaviours and relationships, and our need for understanding and connection sometimes gets lost in complex dynamics. Let’s unravel the confusion you may be stuck in, get a fresh perspective, learn some new skills, and improve your relationship - with yourself and/or with others.

I also support individuals with issues related to life and health transitions. From new parenting to perimenopause and beyond, I can help with your feelings related to chronic illness, pain, end of life, and more. Furthermore, I have worked as a nurse for decades - if you work in healthcare, or are navigating your well-being, let’s connect.

I have training in both top-down (cognitive) and bottom-up (somatic) approaches, and I also incorporate mindfulness, attachment and trauma-informed modalities in my work with you. I’d be happy to talk to you about the training and the education I’ve achieved.

If you’re ready to dive in, or even if it feels daunting (that’s okay, and that’s normal!), reach out and let’s get started.
