Time to Shine Therapy Services

Navigate Transitions & Trauma to Emotional Freedom

You deserve to be seen, heard, and well-supported.

Whether you’re going through a difficult transition period, or struggling with symptoms of trauma, or both, you do not need to do it alone.

Time to Shine Therapy Services helps healthcare professionals such as physicians, first-responders and nurses; as well as women who are leaving an abusive relationship or embarking on big a health reformation; as well as those who are struggling to adjust to a new medical diagnosis or are facing their end-of-life journey.

When life becomes dull, dark, heavy, and uncertain, it’s probably time to sit down with someone who will listen and hear you out, help you create a plan, hold space for your pain, and perhaps even bring a little levity to the situation.

If it’s time to get your shine back, you’ve arrived in the right place.

Areas Of Focus:

All Time to Shine Therapy Services sessions are aimed at helping you to feel seen, heard, and supported, and to help you create a plan for bringing the shimmer back into your life.

Physicians, First Responders, Nurses & Healthcare Workers

You are viewed as the expert, and you carry the weight of the world on your shoulders at work. You may be afraid to be viewed as less competent if you admit that it’s all a bit too much right now.

You find yourself in an unexpectedly scary or uncertain situation, with a new medical diagnosis, or grappling with how to find a way to live while dying. It would be my honour to support you.
