I am accepting new clients! If you are dealing with the emotional repercussions of a traumatic past, or trying to navigate a more recent traumatic event or big life change, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. I specialize in helping people process trauma and grief, as well as improve their anxiety, depression, relationships, and coping mechanisms. I pull from several therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioural theory, attachment/emotionally-focused theory, existential theory, and a psychosomatic approach to healing the nervous system.

I believe that people are inherently healthy and resilient, and capable of recovering from areas where they may be stuck by finding new insights, knowledge and tools. I see my role as helping people find their way through mental health challenges, challenges with family relationships or with work, struggles with chronic illness, loss and grief, or through life transitions to see their highest potential.

I've been counselling in private practice in Halifax and Vancouver for over 10 years and my focus is supporting adults with anxiety. Anxiety is common and presents with a variety of symptoms and can result from a multitude of causes, and while these are common experiences they may become problematic when they interfere with our daily living. Anxiety may stem from unresolved negative experiences such as grief and loss events, health issues, relationship problems, workplace challenges, to name just a few.
