No waitlist - start feeling better, sooner

Hey there, I’m Tara - nurse therapist for people feeling burnt out.

I help people like you, learn super helpful coping skills and get back to feeling like yourself.

Therapy tailored to your needs

Your mental and physical health play a central role in your life. What happens when you feel out of balance, burnt out, or simply exhausted? Who do you turn to for help?

You turn to someone who has worked with people just like you. Someone who can support you with flexible therapy, either virtual, by phone or in person (in my super cute office).

  • Therapy

    On the outside, you look like you have it together. On the inside, you’re barely hanging on. Let’s work on building skills and tools so you can learn to manage the burn out. The anxiety. Those thoughts that make you think the worst case scenario.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for Trauma

Are you struggling with the aftermath of a traumatic event? Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) might be the answer you're looking for. CPT is a specific type of cognitive-behavioural therapy designed to help you understand and change the unhelpful beliefs related to your trauma. Through CPT, you'll learn how to challenge and modify these beliefs, creating a new understanding of the traumatic event and reducing its ongoing negative impact on your life. This therapy is typically delivered over 12 sessions.

CPT can help you regain control, improve your quality of life, and find a path to healing.

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

    Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on helping you identify and challenge distorted (unhelpful) thoughts, core beliefs and attitudes. CBT has been proven to be super effective for things like that pre-shift anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. You’ll get really good at being able to identify the thought/feeling/behaviour connection and ways you can shift those thoughts.

  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

    Feeling burnt out, anxious or angry can make it so difficult for you to manage your emotions. You’ll learn to use Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) techniques to help support you in regulating emotions, manage and cope more effectively in distressing situations and maintain healthy relationships. These skills can be pretty helpful for anyone!

  • Goal Setting and Reactivation

    Sometimes when you’re feeling burnt out or overwhelmed, it’s hard to find time to do the things you enjoy or used to enjoy. We’ll take a look at your schedule, routines/rituals and use some of that CBT to focus on setting some realistic goals and get you back to doing the things you enjoy, and feeling more like yourself.
