About

Hi, my name is Willa (she/her).

Embarking on the path of healing and personal growth requires great courage, and I am here to walk alongside you. With a warm and nonjudgmental approach, I create a safe and nurturing space where together, we can explore your innermost thoughts and feelings.

Drawing from life and over 16 years of experience as a registered nurse, I bring a profound understanding of life's complexities into the therapy room. Whether you're looking to nurture and strengthen connections in your life or navigating challenges such as anxiety or depression, I am here to provide compassionate support.

 

My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, attachment, grief and loss, trauma, chronic health concerns, infertility, self-identity and exploration. I have worked with people who have experienced trauma, violence, and substance abuse for more than 14 years. Furthermore, I'm especially passionate about helping people going through infertility challenges.
 

I am guided by my relational person-centred approach and draw on many modalities such as mindfulness, somatic, narrative, emotion-focused, and cognitive and dialectical behavioural therapies which will be personally tailored to your needs. 

Whatever struggles you face, we will gently delve into the layers of your narrative, uncovering the threads that shape your journey. It is my privilege to accompany you on your path toward discovering the profound value that lies within you.
