I use aspects of CBT, DBT and narrative therapy to provide psychotherapy on topics such as mental health, life transitions, behaviour change, emotional regulation, event processing and adverse childhood experiences.
A life-long resident of Mi’kma’ki / Nova Scotia, I am a mother, witch, ally and member of the ‘spoonie’ community. With a background in psychology and social work, I like to engage clients in psychoeducation, concrete practices and narrative processing, to help them best understand their emotional, somatic and behaviour-based responses to people and events. I believe that learning about topics such as the mind-body connection, emotional development, identities and relational roles help us to create a greater understanding of oneself and those around us.

Hi there and welcome to my practice! I specialize in working with women, children and youth from an evidence-based, empathetic and down-to-earth approach.

I also believe in the benefits of humour and laughter, and allowing space for it in session!

My treatment approach is predominantly cognitive-behavioural, but I integrate aspects of humanism and mindfulness, all of which makes me what is known as "eclectic.
Undertaking therapy takes time, energy and courage. In fact, consulting a psychologist can end up being one of the best gifts we can give ourselves. Feeling accompanied, understood and listened to by someone from outside your usual circle who can bring an objective, non-judgmental perspective and offer tools and ideas for solutions to help you beyond your current suffering are some of the important things a solid therapeutic relationship can offer. Reaching out usually brings a feeling of relief and a sense of being proactive about our own lives. Don't hesitate to contact us for more information.

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counsellors
How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?
Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
