Graceful Life Counselling is operated out of my home office which is located in a quiet neighborhood in Hampton, NB. I'm a Social Worker and a Counselling Therapist which allows me to customize therapy in a holistic way that considers you personally and also social influences such as work, relationships, and family. I primarily assist individuals and couples going through life's various transitions such as a recent move or job loss, relationship changes, loss of loved ones, estranged family, terminal illness, step and blended family adjustment, and divorce recovery.

My approach is to allow you to bring your past into the present so that you can develop skills that free you to thrive in the future. I provide a safe, open and encouraging space to equip and free you to do three things: * identify automatic negative, limiting or unproductive thoughts and behaviours, and imagine a life beyond them; * move from the bondage of those thoughts and behaviours, into a freedom of intention and choice where you can live life with purpose and passion; * develop the skill to sustain this freedom on your own.

Accepting NEW Clients: When faced with difficult life experiences, feelings of ‘not being good enough’ or memories of painful past events, it’s not uncommon to get stuck repeating the same old patterns as a way of trying to cope. Perhaps you struggle with anxiety, low mood, over thinking, avoiding feelings or doing too much of something (e.g., electronics, substances) or too little of something (e.g., rest, exercise, connection with loved ones). Ideally, you want to feel more at ease with yourself, making choices and decisions that serve your best, authentic interests vs. those of others.

Feeling stuck? Have you noticed a decline in your mood? Are negative thoughts (the "what ifs") becoming more difficult to ignore? Are you struggling with managing a difficult relationship and setting boundaries? Maybe you feel that being a new parent is not what you expected? Are you anticipating to, or going through a period of uncertainty or a life transition? Life is too short to surrender to overwhelming thoughts and feelings. With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I can appreciate the need for time and a safe space to process, problem solve and learn strategies and skills to help you become your best self.

Life can be challenging and sometimes it feels like we are riding the rollercoaster of ups and downs, at times it can feel like we are near burn out. We are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and full of anxiety. It is during these times that you need empathy, compassion, understanding and a safe place to unpack. In my practice, I offer a client-centered and supportive environment where you can feel safe to share your story and experiences. I help clients explore and process problems and challenges that impact every day life.

Taking new clients looking to resolve trauma. My approach to therapy is rooted in the view that people have an inherent capacity for healthiness. I will work with you to uncover that wellbeing again so that you can live the life you deserve with more vitality and authenticity whether you suffer from chronic illness, the burden of a traumatic injury or complex trauma, a diagnosis of PTSD, anxiety, depression, unprocessed grief, or the malaise that comes from being over-stressed and not coping as well as you'd like.
