Chronic pain and trauma can leave you feeling isolated and like your life is shrinking around you. I understand. As a therapist who has also navigated chronic illness, I've walked a similar path.
I specialize in online therapy for chronic pain and trauma because I believe everyone deserves access to support, no matter their location or limitations.
Through online therapy, I offer a safe space to explore your experiences, develop coping skills, and build resilience. I work collaboratively with you to manage pain, increase energy levels, and reduce stress. My goal is to empower you to reclaim control and find joy, even amidst chronic pain and trauma.
It's normal to feel hesitant about opening up to a stranger. My website offers a glimpse into my story and my therapeutic approach.

I'm Accepting NEW Clients! - Are you looking for support in navigating anxious thoughts or feelings, or what feels like a dark cloud following you around? Are you tired of feeling like you’re not enough, or like the standards expected are exhausting to meet? Is a new life change causing stress or needing exploring? Do you feel burdened by obsessive thinking, or difficulties with food and body image? Are there relationships in your life that you’d like to explore, or better understand how you feel when around others? Are you simply hoping to build self-awareness or coping strategies?
I'll help create the space for you to gain insight, learn new strategies and skills, and explore the thoughts and feelings that currently take over your before, now, and future. We'll aim to move you towards feeling more confident in your ability to handle things, and meet your therapy goals.
It's normal if reaching out feels scary. I've worked with individuals in public, athletics, and private health settings, and i'm looking forward to connecting with you. I offer text, phone, virtual, and Walk & Talk Sessions in Chilliwack (outdoor therapy).
As a therapist, my approach is rooted in warmth, empathy, and creativity. I offer a safe space where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings. Our conversations will be guided by thoughtful questions designed to inspire shifts in perspective and deepen your self-awareness, all with a genuine focus on ensuring you feel heard and understood.
Our collaborative journey will revolve around fostering healthier relationships, both with the people in your life and with yourself. I will assist you in identifying recurring patterns in your thoughts and behaviours while gently shedding light on them. We will then explore new approaches to enhance your adaptability in tricky situations, boost your overall confidence, and find more joy in life. This process is grounded in the understanding that the first step toward change is increasing awareness.
My goal in counselling is to help you to find what's missing in your life. Perhaps it is issues with identity, or ongoing conflicts in relationships, or a feeling of "stuckness." Mutual respect and trust are vital components to our work together. I offer a unique setting where we can work through the topics you bring in a non-judgmental way.
Driven by compassion and empathy, my goal is to support you in embarking on a journey of self-discovery where you can unpack your experiences and explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement. I hold the perspective that human suffering arises when we have difficulty reconciling the difference between our reality and our expectations, which leads to disconnection from ourselves in the form of anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation. On our journey, it’s easy when we can classify our experiences as either black or white, but most of life happens in the gray. Navigating the gray can be tough, leaving you feeling alone, stuck, and hopeless. I am here to walk alongside you on your path whether you are navigating through stressful circumstances, dealing with the aftermath of a traumatic experience, or in need of compassion to feel heard or validated.
I truly believe that each individual is the expert on their life and holds the potential to heal through their inner strength and wisdom to improve the quality of their life. With validation, compassion, and trust in the therapeutic relationship, I can help individuals heal from past trauma and support them in navigating through emotional complexities. I provide a safe, warm, and cozy environment for our sessions where we can connect and chat about your concerns.
Let me pour you a warm cup of coffee or tea and let’s talk.
Therapy doesn't have to be scary, uncomfortable or daunting. Life is hard enough, therapy doesn't have to be. I'm here to support you in finding solutions to your pain & conflict and make the changes you want to make in your life, while finding peace & calm in the process. Life is far too short and too precious to have prolonged grief, loss, past traumas, anxiety or ongoing conflict take over.
If you have lost someone or something very dear to you either recently or in the past and you are struggling with the difficult and often overwhelming and confusing emotions and feelings that accompany grief, bereavement and loss, please reach out.
Perhaps you are trying to find answers in how to more effectively communicate with your partner and bring back more love into your relationship. Or find ways to reduce the amount of fighting and conflict with your parents or other family members. Or perhaps you are struggling with the loss of someone who meant the world to you. I also specialize in working with folks who have experienced narcissistic abuse and are trying to make sense of the conflict, confusion and self doubt and who aren't sure how to move past the trauma of the experience or in how to cope with life with someone who makes you feel like you are never enough.
If you are struggling with any of the issues mentioned, please reach out to book a free 20 minute phone or video meet and greet call. The purpose of this call is to get a better feel for how your session may look in working with me, to help answer any questions you may have regarding counselling and to get a better feel for if I might be the right counsellor for you.
I offer both in person & online sessions, during the day, evening or on weekends and have 24/7 online scheduling, so it's easier in finding a session time that works for you moving forward. To help avoid playing phone or email tag and waiting for a reply, please head over to my website at www.nurturemecounselling.com to book your free consultation meet and greet phone or video call. I am here to help support you in finding yourself and getting to a place where life feels good again.
Welcome and congratulations on taking this first step to heal and change.
With empathy and in a safe space I will empower you to think of your circumstances and struggles in ways you may not have thought of on your own. Collaboratively, we will find solutions that will have positive outcomes.
Life can be really challenging at times and while we love our family and friends, they tend to give advice rather than practical tools for navigating those challenges. Sometimes they even get upset when we don't do what they tell us to! Therapy is different -- you get an unbiased listener who will teach those practical skills and offer realistic suggestions, rather than advice. Best of all, you will feel supported regardless of your decision. Whether you just want someone to bounce ideas off of, to finally start working on those unprocessed traumatic memories that we can't just "get over", or anything in between, I offer a safe place to work through your unique situation on your timeline. You will never feel pressured to talk about something that you aren't ready to, but you will feel supported enough to do so. I'm looking forward to meeting with you!
