HI, I’M Nicole (SHE/HER)

I believe therapy is a space where you can show up fully and care for yourself in meaningful ways, without having to do it alone. I offer a grounded, warm, and authentic presence while gently challenging clients to challenge themselves and grow.

Together, we’ll explore patterns—both conscious and unconscious—that are keeping you stuck, with a focus on cultivating curiosity and self-compassion. Our work will stay rooted in the present moment, while acknowledging how your past experiences shape your day to day life.

Using a trauma-informed and somatic approach, we’ll explore how relational, developmental, and attachment wounds show up in both your mind and body. Through this process, you’ll learn to navigate difficult thoughts and emotions, and build the ability to respond with intention rather than react from old patterns—helping you live more authentically and in alignment with your needs.

I’m so looking forward to going on this journey with you.

i’m passionate about working with…

✷ Individuals looking to explore their relationship with themselves, partners, peers, and family members

✷ Recovering people-pleasers, perfectionists, and folks looking to improve their communication with others

✷ Highschool, university, and college students coping with school stress and life transitions

✷ Those feeling burnt out, stretched too thin, and struggling to cope with all that life is throwing at them

✷ Anyone who’s looking for a safe and non-judgmental space to process their experiences & feel less alone

InSUrance.

While many extended health insurance plans cover psychotherapy services, Tend Psychotherapy is not able to bill insurance companies directly. It is important that you speak with your insurance provider ahead of time in order to understand your specific plan and eligibility for coverage with a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO)
