Mental Health Therapy in Calgary for Nurses & Helping Professionals

Helping professionals- including nurses, healthcare professionals, social service workers, and mental health professionals- are privileged to bear witness to the entirety of the human experience. We see the joys, the resilience, the strength and the fortitude. But we also see the profound struggle. We are witness to untold pain, loss, sorrow, and trauma. We are not separate from, we feel alongside. We advocate and do our best, often within challenging and complex systems. All the while, we have our own stories, histories, and daily stressors in our personal lives. We can be very good at caring for others, yet struggle to give ourselves the same care and compassion.

Burnout & Stress in Healthcare & Helping Professionals

Specialized Support Designed for Nurses & Helping Professionals

As a trauma therapist, I am aware of the (often unrecognized) traumas our nurses and helping professionals face in the line of their work and often also in their personal lives and histories. Trauma and stress gets stored in our nervous system, and can leave us in a constant state of high alert, or alternatively, shutting down. If you are finding your resiliency being challenged, your compassion being fatigued, and your emotions exhausted, I can help you to rediscover your joy and manage the weight of it all.

I encourage you to give yourself the same care, attention, and compassion you give to others.

I offer counselling specific to your emotional needs and your goals. We'll make space to gently explore and give recognition to the weight you carry, build ways to manage these difficulties and heal any emotional wounds, recover from burnout, and take steps towards thriving in your life, both personally and professionally.
