I work in person, with people in need of support and guidance from a neutral person outside of their life. This can be a life transition such as a separation, or death, to living with a chronic or terminal illness. As well as neurodiversity such as learning differences, ADD/ADHD/ASD with or without a formal diagnosis. Addictions and trauma make up a large part of my practice and I favor psychotherapy combined with a self help group approach. Through individual assessment, psychoeducation and psychotherapy, I support you to achieve your goals and measurably improving the quality of your life.

Relationships can be a source of your greatest joys and your biggest challenges. And struggles within your relationships, whether it’s with your partner, a family member or in the workplace, can impact your enjoyment of your daily life. With over 30 years of experience, I have worked with couples and individuals in transforming their relationships from a source of pain and conflict to one of strength and growth. I bring my lived experience as a married lesbian and mother to a young adult to my practice. With Heartswell Counselling, I offer you a safe, inclusive space to explore your feelings and enhance your heart’s well-being.

As a therapist, my goal is to support you to live the life you want to live and become the person you want to become. I value authenticity, connection, and compassion, so it's important that we can create a space where you feel you can be yourself, without judgment, as we work together to identify, clarify, and ultimately achieve your goals. Clients I see tend to experience difficulties related to mood and anxiety, or are seeking coping skills to navigate stress and the complexities of life. Outside of private practice, I am a social worker and psychotherapist in Youth Psychiatry at The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre.

Dear life-giver, you have been endowed with a great ability, the ability to bring life through time. While this can bring great joy, it can also be the cause of loss, guilt, shame and overwhelm. From termination of pregnancy, miscarriage, birth trauma, and perinatal anxiety and depression, I am here to support you so that you can start feeling uplifted, at peace and simply well. Life-giving is hard! You deserve to find empowerment and joy within it.

If you're considering seeing a psychologist, you're uncomfortable with something in your life. Maybe you've carried around a vague dissatisfaction with yourself, with others, or with life for as long as you can remember. Maybe you feel empty, hollow, or like some piece of you is missing. Maybe you feel full to bursting with rage, with pain, with despair. Maybe you've noticed that all your relationships tend to end the same way, but you're not sure why. Maybe you keep changing jobs, but never feel accomplished.

As we journey through life, sometimes the way is easy and other times it is not. Therapy may help us explore whatever we have encountered along the path. I work with individuals 18 and older who would like to explore the paths previously travelled, while developing strategies for balance and wellness on the journey forward. My goal is to walk with you for a time, to co-create a space to reflect, learn and grow, guided by the inherent wisdom you carry within you.

For many years, the people who have ended up in Noelle's care are folks who have been harmed by the healthcare and educational systems. Invalidation, medical gaslighting, lack of services, long wait times, it can all add up to a pretty brutal experience where you are left feeling like no one understands or cares. Life can be a jerk to those of us who feel "different" due to pain, health issues, neurodivergence, etc. If this has been your experience, you need the right kind of support.

Therapy can benefit anyone with any type of issue or concern. There are times when we need another perspective or an objective space to talk through some issues. These problems can be big or small, simple or complex, but in the end it affects us all the same. This includes anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, interpersonal problems, concerns about the future, or existential questions or concerns. We can work collaboratively to outline your goals and desired outcome and work through these issues through an integrative lens that puts you and your needs first.
