You may be feeling overwhelmed by burnout, life transitions, or emotions that resurface when you least expect them. You’re looking for a supportive space to process the past, cope more effectively in the present, and move toward a life that feels lighter and more balanced.

You may face sadness, worry, repetitive thoughts, following experiences that are tough to talk about, violence and trauma resulting in numbness, isolation. Maybe you want to dig deeper, to better understand these events and how they are impacting your life now. You may feel increasingly ready to move through and beyond the difficulties you face, to embrace what feels more like the real you. I am trained to work creatively with folks who are in the midst of life’s challenges, to help them process and cope with their emotions. I know how to work with trauma, survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, depression and anxiety.

The harsher the memory, the softer the poem. -pavana reddy. Have you experienced wounding in relationships and find yourself struggling to cope amidst conflict or the aftereffects of trauma or harm? Do you long to love and enjoy yourself and life again (or perhaps for the first time)? Harm can happen in many relationships, including romantic, familial, and with the social world around us. You might be facing triggers, anxiety, depression, feelings of hopelessness, or external barriers to well-being. My hope is to support you in feeling safer, overcoming harsh narratives about yourself, and living a life that feels right for you!

Many clients come to me feeling stuck or disconnected. Distress does not exist in a vacuum. It is shaped by context, and identity, which contribute to a sense of safety and belonging.
I aim to show up with you as a real, genuine person. Together, we bring clarity to the confusing, and bring in humour to make difficult conversations feel lighter. Using concrete strategies, through the lenses of choice and collaboration, I aim to support you in loosening the grip of old narratives, and building a renewed sense of agency and direction in life.

Hello, welcome! I'm so glad you're here. I’m a clinical psychologist (candidate register) of Quebec and Haitian ancestry. I work with adults who are navigating depression, the "what-if" spirals of anxiety and phobias, or the exhausting loops of OCD. I also work with those who are finding their relationships with others difficult or are simply burnt out from the pressure of keeping it all together. If that sounds like you, you're in the right place! I can provide therapy in English and French. Beyond therapy, I provide diagnostic assessments for learning disorders, ADHD, and general psychological functioning.

Have you ever felt lost or overwhelmed, especially in your relationship with yourself or others, but couldn’t quite understand why? Often, the patterns that leave us feeling unhappy or disconnected are rooted in unhealed trauma that hasn’t been fully processed or addressed. I take a holistic and non-pathologizing approach that focuses on uncovering the root causes of your distress. I believe that anxiety, depression, and other common diagnoses are not indications that something is “wrong” with you. Instead, they are often wise, protective responses from a body and nervous system that have experienced stress or threat.

I work with youth (13+), adults, couples, and families navigating complex trauma, anxiety, burnout, emotional regulation, identity, ADHD, autism, relationships, and life transitions offering a space where they can feel seen, heard, and understood without judgment.

It’s difficult to watch your usually thoughtful child/teen struggling with their big emotions. Your child, who is usually wise beyond their years, becomes quickly unglued. You’re pretty sure that anxiety, worries or low self-esteem are hiding under the big tears, emotional meltdowns, ‘sassy’ attitude and anger. While you desperately want to be there to support your child and help them through this turbulent time, the accumulation of stressors from the demands of life and parenting makes it hard for you to be the parent you want to be in those worst moments, leaving you feeling unsure of what will help.

After over a decade of working in multidisciplinary health care settings, I have decided to fulfill my dream of opening my own practice. Cardinal Psychology is opening in the North End of Halifax in the summer of 2026. I look forward to offering compassionate, personalized, empirically supported psychological treatment to adults in my office (with parking- and close to the Italian Market for delicious treats) or from the comfort of home via video.

When was the last time you felt a sense of wellness and peace? When was the last time you felt inner joy and equanimity? We all make mistakes and we all suffer from other people's mistakes and wrong done to us. However, we don't have to continue to live with the same pain and loss tomorrow.

Maybe you wake up already tense, your mind racing with worst-case scenarios. Maybe you feel low, numb, or disconnected, even though you’ve learned how to look “fine” on the outside. You might be stuck in the same relationship patterns, overwhelmed by emotion, or carrying past experiences that still live in your body. If you resonate with this, I want you to know that you're not alone, and I believe that together, we can create a space where change, growth and a life with meaning is possible.
