Welcome! My name is Andrea (she/her). I support adults who feel weighed down by trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges. If you’re carrying emotional pain, feeling stuck in old patterns, or longing for a more self-compassionate relationship with yourself, you don’t have to face it alone. I believe therapy is a space where healing happens through authentic connection, warmth, and non-judgement.
I offer in-person sessions at Paddler’s Cove Professional Centre in downtown Dartmouth, as well as virtual and phone appointments for flexibility and comfort.

I’m a Feminist/Liberation Therapist. My lived experience as a mixed race South Asian, neurodiverse (late diagnosed), cis-het woman, informs my collaborative approach. I aim to provide a safe space that’s culturally and trauma informed, neuro-affirming, sex positive, body positive, healing-centred, and flexible for you to explore your values, strengths and challenges. I am passionate about working with BIPOC, immigrant, refugee, neurodivergent and LGBTQIA2S+ folks. I offer a warm and inclusive space for adults (18+) navigating neurodivergence, identity, anxiety, depression, systemic injustice, career challenges/exploration.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck in patterns you’re tired of repeating. Maybe you’ve been holding everything together on your own, but it’s starting to feel heavy. You want clarity, steadiness, and a space where you don’t have to pretend you’re fine. I work with adults—especially men—who are navigating anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, or emotional overwhelm and want to feel more grounded, balanced, and in control of their lives again.

Hello! I'm Felicity. As your therapist, I'm honoured to walk alongside you. Perhaps you're wondering if it's possible to have the relationships you've always dreamed of – the kind where you feel seen, heard, and accepted for who you are. Or maybe you're struggling to understand yourself or your loved ones better, and you're searching for a sense of peace or genuine connection. Perhaps you've recently experienced a loss or a change in identity, and you find yourself wondering about how you really see the world or want to exist in it. Maybe you just want to stop fighting with the ones you love.

Sometimes we need some additional support. I offer sessions to adolescents (15+), adults & couples experiencing various issues. Challenging relationships can take a toll on our mental health and well-being. We can identify difficulties in relationships (romantic, familial, work or otherwise) that may be causing distress. Some topics addressed include boundaries, attachment, and communication. I also offer perinatal counselling for those who need support through pregnancy and/or the postpartum period.
I have an easygoing and supportive approach and believe you know yourself best. I encourage open communication throughout treatment!

Hi! My areas of interest and expertise include working with people who have survived trauma and sexual abuse. My first goal is to build rapport and a trusting relationship with clients, and focus on establishing a sense of safety and stability. Safety and stability is an important component in allowing successful trauma processing and resolution to occur. I also enjoy working with adolescents; having once been a teen in need of additional support, I am able to empathize and quickly connect with young people. Other topics focused on at my practice are BPD and mood disorders, anger management, self-esteem, and relational issues.

I offer a safe place for queer, trans, and gender expansive folks to navigate life's challenges together. Existing in today's world as part of these communities brings its own unique struggles, challenges, and joys. My background as a community organizer in the trans community, as well as my own lived experiences as a trans and queer woman, a parent, a sex worker, and a person in recovery, all help guide my work in empowering individuals and couples to find enrichment and empowerment through their own lives and experiences.

You don’t need to explain why you’re tired, overwhelmed, or stuck.
If you’ve been living in survival mode, feeling disconnected from yourself or unsure how to move forward, therapy can help you feel steadier, safer, and more like yourself again. I specialize in working with trauma, complex trauma (C-PTSD), and nervous system overwhelm. I support adults who have experienced chronic, relational, and identity-impacting trauma, including survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence, and human trafficking. Many of the clients I work with have tried therapy before and felt it didn’t go deep enough or move too fast.
