Grief Therapists in St John's, NL
Life tends to be full of ups and downs, with no shortage of uncertainties and challenges. At times, we may find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, stressed, overworked, burnt out, depressed, lacking in sleep, lacking in meaning, struggling in relationships, or stuck and unsure how to proceed. We may also realize that we're repeating unhelpful cycles, behaviours, or thought patterns that we developed in response to past experiences and that it’s time to make some changes. It's during these times that we can benefit from additional support, perspective, and strategies.

I work with individuals and families through a trauma informed approach, combining Indigenous culture and tradition with Western therapeutic skills to support them as they negotiate the highs and lows of developmental stages and life transitions and work through them to build healthier lives and stronger relationships.

With over 20 years of experience working with individuals and groups, I am passionate and experienced in building strong, nurturing relationships with my clients as we sort through life's challenges together. Particular areas of interest and expertise include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, women’s issues, relationship issues, life transitions and personal growth. While some clients prefer short-term, highly structured sessions, others prefer a more longstanding, fluid relationship to support them through life's ups and downs. I am open to discussing all options and believe that flexibility and a sense of humour go a long way!

Accepting NEW clients online or In person- Whether you are seeking counselling for the first time or returning for new support, it can be difficult to reach out. I work with clients who may be feeling “stuck” or “not like themselves” and wanting to work through why this might be. It could be related to relationships, mental health such as depression or anxiety, lack of confidence or self-esteem, work conflict, high self-expectations or any other number of life stressors. You are the expert in your life and use a collaborative approach to ensure you feel supported in session and empowered to use the tools provided out of session.

For many years, the people who have ended up in Noelle's care are folks who have been harmed by the healthcare and educational systems. Invalidation, medical gaslighting, lack of services, long wait times, it can all add up to a pretty brutal experience where you are left feeling like no one understands or cares. Life can be a jerk to those of us who feel "different" due to pain, health issues, neurodivergence, etc. If this has been your experience, you need the right kind of support.

Life can quickly become so busy that everyday interactions become overwhelming obstacles, impacting your life in ways you may not even realize. I aim to create a safe, non judgemental space where you can explore your experiences and get support while improving self-compassion. I also support your ability to tune into the present, exploring your felt senses as messages that your body is communicating to you. When we develop the right skills and ability to acknowledge our emotions, what once felt overwhelming can become manageable.

Life can be very difficult, but you don't have to go through it alone. Suffering is a part of our human experience, but reaching out for help can take a lot of courage.

Together we will travel through it with curiosity and non-judgement to find the awareness that you need to build a better relationship with yourself.

One of my specialties and passions is helping individuals heal from narcissistic abuse. Narcissistic abuse is not treated by most therapists. Due to my education and personal experience I understand the emotional abuse inflicted by individuals with narcissistic traits or NPD. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where we can explore narcissistic abuse, boundaries, low self-esteem & life transitions.
