Opportunities to transition to in-person in February!
Sometimes, it really can be that deep. In my practice, I support individuals (18+) who recognize they want to change the way they are thinking, feeling, and living. Let's work together to better understand your experiences, and how they are impacting you. Whether you wake up and no longer recognize yourself, or want to manage life stressors before they reach that point, I am here for you. In my practice, I specialize in treating stress-related conditions like PTSD, supporting clients in understanding and managing emotional experiences, work with attachment struggles and interpersonal relationships, and exploring inner child work.

I offer in-person and online sessions and am available weekdays and some evenings.
If you’re feeling anxious, disconnected, or unsure of yourself, you’re not alone. Perhaps you're overthinking relationships, experiencing a life transition, or struggling with burnout and expressing emotions. If this sounds familiar, therapy can help. I work with individuals who want to better understand themselves, feel more grounded in who they are, and show up more honestly in relationships. People I work with are navigating high expectations, feel an inner pressure to hold it all together, and are carrying past experiences that impact their ability to connect, be present, and live a life in alignment with their goals and values.

I believe in the power of therapy to create spaces where individuals can reflect, feel validated, be challenged, and gain deeper insight into their most vulnerable and healthy selves. Over the years, I have worked with a wide range of individuals across various settings and systems. My current focus is on supporting youth, particularly those aged 12 to 30 who would benefit from support with anxiety, low mood and motivation. These young people often benefit from a dedicated space to explore their values, clarify intentions and identify mental blocks. Or as I like to say: “unblob the blob”.

Welcome! I am a Clinical Social Worker offering individual therapy to adults seeking support in healing their relationship to Self, attachment wounds, and relational traumas. You might be in an anxious-avoidant dance, noticing painful relationship patterns, feeling stuck in a loop of relational ambivalence, or want to resolve what's blocking deeper connections. You might be navigating difficult family relationships and questioning estrangement and boundaries. Perhaps you are noticing a harsh inner-critic, self-doubt, the urge to people please, or a disconnection from Self (the person you are and want to be; at your core).

I offer in person sessions in Darthmouth NS and Virtual sessions available to clients in Alberta, Ontario and Nova Scotia.
At times life can become complicated by stress and adversity which is difficult to navigate on our own. My counselling philosophy is grounded in the knowledge that everyone has strengths and resources that can help them thrive and all of us need genuine caring relationships to live our best lives. Unfortunately, the challenges in our lives can cause us to lose sight of our strengths and strain key relationships leaving us feeling lost, confused and overwhelmed. At these times, counselling can help to explore these thoughts and feelings, identify meaningful solutions and restore hope and overall resilience.

Sometimes we are living at our best, in harmony with the highs and lows of life. Other times we are stressed, uncertain, overwhelmed and need help with the balance. Relationships are impacted, connections may be strained between family members, past experiences can affect the ability to live in the present moment. Major life transitions can be difficult, and feelings may seem too big to manage.
