A little get to know me
Devon Church (they/he) I am a Registered Nurse, Psychotherapist with over two decades of experience in various mental health care settings including hospitals, community and home-based care, group and transitional care homes, and virtual care.
Since beginning my nursing career, I have explored numerous specialties to find the area that best aligned with my skills and passion for helping others live their best lives. Over time, I found the traditional healthcare system frustrating and limiting for both myself and my patients.
My original specialization was in behavioural dementias & palliative care, where I learned how to build honest and trusting therapeutic nurse client relationships. Led by my compassion, kindness and humour, I work with my clients to support them to feel truly heard, seen, and valued as the multifaceted and unique individuals they are.
I am a board member of Elgin County Pride, and also work with local agencies and health care providers, advancing local knowledge on gender-affirming care.
