When life feels heavy, confusing, or just plain exhausting, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Maybe you’re a teen navigating school stress and big emotions, a young adult stuck in patterns that don’t feel like you, or someone facing anxiety, low mood, grief, or conflict. With 15 years of experience, I support adolescents, adults, and families using ACT and narrative therapy to help you reconnect with your values, reshape unhelpful stories, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

My approach is collaborative, trauma‑informed, and rooted in ACT and narrative therapy. I honour the experiences that shaped you while helping you understand and reshape the stories you carry. Together, we build resilience, deepen self‑understanding, and move toward a life aligned with your values.

I offer in‑person sessions in Herring Cove, Halifax Regional Municipality on Wednesday evenings, as well as virtual sessions for added flexibility and comfort. When you’re ready, I’m here to walk alongside you. I look forward to supporting you on your path forward.
