Let's Connect (782) 800-9320

I help clients deal with anxiety, depression, anger, low confidence, stress, trauma and more. I am passionate about bringing my extensive life and work experience in the private sector (incl 10+ years in career counselling) and government to my practice to help clients navigate the emotional and practical aspects of life challenges. Whether you're dealing with past trauma, interpersonal conflict, needing a job change or a career remake, or you just want someone to talk to, my goal is to help you focus on what matters and take positive steps guided by your values. I am here to help you get unstuck so that you can live your best life.

I use an integrative approach grounded in neuroscience and current counselling disciplines and traditions to attune to your specific needs. Areas that we may work on include processing past traumas, setting boundaries, communication and decision-making, stress management, relational trauma, anger management, and healing from anxiety, depression & burnout.

I have experience counselling clients from diverse cultures, races, genders, faiths and sexual orientations. I am flexible to meet in-person in my Halifax or Dartmouth office, or online if that is your preference. I offer afternoon and evening hours. My goal is to fully hear what your challenges are and help you overcome them so that you can thrive.

In your first session we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide the most appropriate way to help you achieve your therapy goals. I often combine Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (talk therapy) to identify maladaptive coping strategies that are holding you back and CBT to understand how your thoughts affect your emotions and mood and how you respond to situations and people around you.
