A PRACTICAL,
SOLUTION-FOCUSED APPROACH

Compassionate, evidence-based counselling and support tailored to your unique needs—whether it’s personal growth, career challenges, or managing stress and transitions. Let’s work together to create a balanced, fulfilling life.

Understanding & Supporting You Through Life’s Rhythms

Life can be overwhelming—balancing career demands, family responsibilities, and personal well-being isn’t easy. I understand because I’ve spent nearly two decades helping people through their toughest moments. As a Registered Nurse Psychotherapist, I bring both clinical expertise and a deep understanding of mental and physical well-being to my practice.

My goal is to provide practical, solution-focused therapy that helps professionals, caregivers, and individuals regain balance, confidence, and peace of mind. Whether you’re feeling stuck, stressed, or burnt out, you don’t have to navigate this alone.

My Approach

Therapy should feel like a conversation - comfortable, supportive, and meaningful. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and focused on what works for you. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution to mental well-being, which is why I take the time to truly understand your concerns, strengths, and goals.

 

I blend evidence-based strategies with a practical, real-life approach, helping you develop tools that fit into your daily life. Whether we’re working through anxiety, burnout, relationship struggles, or life transitions, sessions are collaborative and flexible - no rigid formulas, just thoughtful support that meets you where you are.

 

You don’t have to go through this alone. Together, we’ll find realistic, effective ways to help you feel more in control, confident, and at peace.

Why I Started
On the Pulse Counselling Services

After nearly two decades in healthcare - as a public health nurse, consultant, and leader - I saw firsthand how stress, burnout, relationships and life’s pressures impact mental well-being. I worked with families navigating major life transitions, professionals striving for balance, and individuals feeling overwhelmed by the weight of expectations.

 

Through these experiences, one thing became clear: people needed accessible, compassionate, and practical support to help them navigate life’s challenges. That’s why I founded On the Pulse Counselling Services - to create a space where individuals and families can feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

 

At On the Pulse, I believe therapy should feel approachable, practical, and tailored to your unique needs. If you’re ready to explore what’s next, I’m here to help.
