Psychotherapy for Nurses & Healthcare Professionals
Allied Health: You Have Support
You’ve kept going through things most people wouldn’t understand. Long hours. Broken systems. Constant crisis. You’re a nurse, a chaplain, a PSW; a professional helper trained to hold it all together. But lately, something’s cracking. You’ve noticed that you’re exhausted and sleep isn’t enough to feel energized again. You feel flat, cynical, or numb. You’ve lost touch with who you are outside the role. This is the cost of care in a system that demands so much of you. I offer online psychotherapy for nurses overwhelmed by shift life in Kitchener, Toronto and across the GTA.
You’re Great at Holding It Together For Your Patients, But Lately Exhaustion is Holding You Hostage
You’ve been the steady one in the storm. The one who is paid to show up when others fall apart, and at first you loved helping people, and it was so fulfilling to help others. But now, you’re running on fumes. Maybe it’s burnout. Maybe it’s something deeper, like moral injury, compassion fatigue, or a creeping sense that you’re losing yourself. And it’s normal and predictable for shift work in healthcare, especially when you’re working short staffed and when people aren’t getting time to fully recover. I work with healthcare professionals in Kitchener, Toronto and the GTA who are ready to start reclaiming clarity, boundaries, and inner sense of self.
This Work Changes You and Can Be Risky For Your Identity
You’ve seen things most people never will. Held hands through medical assistance in dying, pushed through impossible shifts with difficult co-workers, de-escalated difficult families who don’t see how much you care. You didn’t choose this work to run yourself into the ground and end up in burn out or break down, but here you are, wondering where your energy, purpose, or faith in the system went.
Burnout therapy for healthcare professionals is often about moral injury, identity erosion, and the slow disappearance of your own needs. Whether you’re a nurse in Toronto, a PSW in Kitchener, or a hospital chaplain in the GTA, you deserve support from someone who understands the emotional and ethical cost of care. As a certified spiritual care practitioner and registered psychotherapist, I offer deep, soul-centred burnout therapy and recovery treatment for healthcare professionals who need renewal.

Burnout and Procrastination Is an Emotion-Regulation Problem, Not a Time-Management One
Burnout and procrastination changes how motivation and focus work. Tasks that once felt manageable can begin to trigger avoidance, fog, or paralysis. This article looks at the relationship between burnout and procrastination, explaining why it happens and how to work with capacity rather than pushing through it.

When Burnout And Loss of Identity Collide
You can be capable, responsible, and still feel like something essential is missing. This is burnout that comes from losing connection to who you are and what matters. Naming that loss is often the beginning of healing.

Meaning and Purpose as a Buffer Against Burnout
Burnout often feels like motion without direction. A lot of effort. Very little progress. You keep moving because stopping feels dangerous, yet nothing meaningfully changes. That is the hamster wheel experience. Busy. Earnest. Exhausting.
Clarity does not come from pushing harder. It comes from orientation. A compass does not tell you how fast to go. It tells you where you are and which way is true. When people slow down enough to notice what actually matters to them, decisions become simpler. Energy returns. Movement starts to mean something again.
The work is not about escaping responsibility. It is about choosing direction before choosing effort.
