Hi, I’m Nicole (she/her), a Registered Social Worker and therapist based in Ontario. I believe healing is not something we have to do alone. It happens in relationship, through kindness, curiosity, and connection. As an Indigenous woman, my practice is grounded in cultural awareness, respect, and a trauma-informed lens. My aim is to support you as a whole person through life’s heaviness and turning points. Whether you're facing anxiety, burnout, trauma, or struggling with self-worth and body image, I’m here to walk alongside you as we reconnect with your strength, resilience, and self-trust.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Feminist Therapy Addresses how gender roles, power, and social inequality affect mental health. It empowers clients to challenge limiting beliefs and systems.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) A short-term approach focused on improving relationships and social support. It is often used for depression and grief.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Multicultural Therapy Acknowledges the role of culture, race, and identity in mental health. It values diversity and adapts treatment to each person’s background.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: My therapeutic approach is grounded, compassionate, and deeply collaborative. I believe in creating a space where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment.
I bring a trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and anti-oppressive lens to my work, blending modalities like EMDR, EFT, CBT, DBT, ACT, narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. I also specialize in eating disorder recovery and body image work using a body-neutral framework. My hope is for each client to feel safe, supported, and empowered as we work together to move toward greater clarity, confidence, and ease.

In my practice, I provide online therapy for kids, teens, and adults across Ontario. My therapeutic style is collaborative and supportive, offering a non-judgmental space where we can slow down, reflect, and uncover what’s been weighing you down. Whether you’re ready to dive into deeper work or just need a place to process things at your own pace, I’ll meet you where you are with care and respect. My practice is trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and rooted in inclusive, anti-oppressive values. I don’t view therapy as a way to “fix” you, because I don’t believe you’re broken. Instead, our work together focuses on understanding what’s shaped you, embracing the strengths you carry, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself that offer resilience, clarity, and meaning.
