Therapy feels weird, right?! Like- Hi, total stranger. I'm chronically overwhelmed and have been holding it all together with caffeine, people-pleasing, and sheer determination. Let me tell you all my trauma. But seriously - if that feels even a little too real, you're in the right place. Therapy CAN feel weird, but only because our culture teaches us that we should be able to do it all alone. But do you want to know a secret? You don't have to. I work with primarily women and 2SLGBTQI+ individuals. As a Neurodivergent queer gal, I know how hard it can be to feel safe and seen. I promise to listen and to walk alongside you.
My clients are often the "strong ones", the overthinkers, the fixers. They're navigating a variety of issues including trauma, grief, anxiety, ADHD, shifts in their identity, or just trying to figure out who they are when they're not taking care of everyone else around them. My job isn't to have all the answers- it's to walk beside you as you figure it out.
I'm warm, relational, trauma-informed, and a little bit quirky. I believe therapy should feel like a collaboration, not a performance. You don't have to make sense when you show up, we can make sense of things together. I offer Virtual therapy to adults in NB and NS. You're welcome here. No masks, no pressure. Just you. And I for one cannot wait to meet you

I strive to make therapy feel less cold and clinical, and more like you're talking to someone you know (except with very clear boundaries and some gentle pushback when needed). I co-construct goals with you for the things you want to work on, and when relevant may highlight some patterns across the issues you discuss in order to help you build them.

I like to describe myself as kind of eclectic when I am able to be (some issues- Like Trauma- require more specific modalities). I draw on different modalities depending on the person that is in front of me and what their goals look like. Often this looks like some combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
