Why is a nurse psycho therapist Different?
As a Nurse Psychotherapist, I bring together the compassion of therapy with the knowledge and experience of healthcare. You don't have to separate your mind from your bodyโand with me, you never will.

you may be wondering why a nurse psychotherapist is differentโฆ and why it matters for your care.
As a Registered Nurse (RN) and Nurse Psychotherapist, I bring a unique blend of medical knowledge and therapeutic expertise to our work together.
My background in nursing means I understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are all connected through the complex systems of your body. It also means I have deep experience navigating the healthcare systemโso if you ever need additional support, I can help guide you there, too.
A healthcare professional who sees the full picture of your wellbeing โ mind, body and beyond.
"Registered Nurses are able to complete the controlled act of psychotherapy as long as they have the knowledge, judgement, and skill to do so."
How the College of Nurses of Ontario defines the role:
"RN's deliver direct health care services to those at all stages of life and in situations of health, illness, injury and disability; they also coordinate care and support clients in managing their own health. RN's contribute to the health care system through their leadership across a wide range of settings."
And more broadly:
As a registered nurse, iโm trained to provide safe, efficient, patient centred Care.
WHY CHOOSE ME?
I have a thorough understanding of how our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are all intertwined through the human body's systems. I also have knowledge of health-care system navigation, for example: if a patient needs to be seen by a doctor, how to be seen, resources in their area, and medication and health knowledge.
