Hi, I’m Gretta.

It's great to meet you! I'm a physician who spent almost ten years practicing rural family medicine and another decade working in general medicine on an acute care mental health ward. During this time, I trained in psychotherapy at the Centre for Emotions and Health, Dalhousie University, and later with Dr. Habib Davanloo in Montreal. I’ve been a physician psychotherapist since 2010, switching to full-time psychotherapy practice in 2021.

I grew up in Montreal, and after a first degree in Humanistic Studies at McGill, before starting medical school in 1995, I spent much of the next decade travelling, working with refugees, and training in complementary healing modalities. I've been lucky enough to call Nova Scotia my home since 2003. When I'm not enjoying the beautiful water here, I can often be found experimenting with gluten-free baking in my kitchen.

I believe we all have powerful potential for healing. Over the years, I’ve developed particular interests in preventative medicine, the impact of our diet and environment on our physical and mental health, gut health, emotions and health, and the impact of patriarchal conditioning on all of us, no matter our gender identity. This has also led me to explore how power structures that marginalize people based on gender, sexual orientation, or racialized identity impact us all.

After developing listeria meningitis in 2016, I went through a prolonged period of recovery which deepened my understanding of what it means to befriend our minds and our bodies while tuning into our innate healing potential.

I am now passionately pursuing transformative work through life coaching. Since experiencing the power of Neurolinguistic Programming(NLP) and Time Line Therapy® (TLT®) combined with Energy healing modalities firsthand, I’ve integrated NLP and TLT® into my psychotherapy practice also offering them via coaching.
