Therapists in New Brunswick

My approach to counselling is first and foremost directed at providing a comfortable, welcoming, non-judgemental space. I use an integrative approach to counselling, meaning I pull from various theories and modalities – all of which are evidence based. Most commonly I use Person-Centered, humanistic approaches, Queer theory and affirmative therapy. I am also trained in using EMDR therapy. During sessions we will work together to create goals, foster resilience, gain skills and coping strategies to empower you to work towards change and combat your negative thinking to ultimately improve your well-being.

Whether you are seeking therapy to address an acute issue or wanting to better understand yourself and what has shaped you, I’m here to help. Together, we can create a plan that fits you, in an attempt to help you regain a sense of hope, balance and vitality in life. Life is too short to be lived in significant distress, and sometimes we need a helping hand. Whether you are looking to reduce emotional pain, create more meaningful relationships, develop new ways of coping, or find purpose, I'll be there alongside you to support you in your goals.

Trauma therapy. Although you can't heal past trauma on your own, I believe I can help you. I have more than ten years experience dealing with trauma, PTSD, sexual abuse, and sexual assault. I'm a former hospital chaplain for the Emergency, Intensive Care, and Burn Units, and I've written about trauma (including an invited paper) for major psychology journals. Academic articles have cited me almost 4,000 times.

My area of expertise is working with children and youth. But I also work with adults and families. The main issues I typically would work on would be anxiety, depression, coping skills, trauma, etc. I offer support around behaviors, school issues, parenting, and mental health.

At The Couples Corner, we are here to help couples heal, rediscover intimacy & friendship, and improve their relationship through the use of research-based tools. Many couples seek marital therapy to overcome hardships and challenges, but we make it a priority to help couples achieve long lasting relational satisfaction and passion as well. Our expertise extends to helping couples overcome affairs and infidelity; work towards re-kindling passion and intimacy; address issues related to parenting and blended families; and address many other relational concerns including conflicts over finances, dating, and long distance relationships.

My ideal client is one who wants things to be different and is engaged in the counselling process. It is not necessary as I have made progress with resistant and/or mandated clients such as children or court-ordered clients, but it sure helps. The issues I can mostly help with include being hooked on certain thoughts such as worrying, anxiety, sadness, self-deprecating thoughts and obsessions and compulsions. I can also be most helpful when someone's behaviors are leading to avoiding experiences of life such as addiction, avoidance, distractions, and short term energy releasing behaviors. Clients want change.
