Self Esteem Therapists in Dartmouth, NS
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 through a pandemic make it hard for you to be the parent you want to be in those moments.

As a registered clinical social worker with 15 years of experience, I support adolescents, adults, and families in overcoming barriers such as anxiety, depression, grief, school refusal, inter-personal conflict, trauma, and major life transitions.

I work from the perspective that being a human is hard and that we all face struggles throughout our life. While these challenges may be unavoidable, therapy can provide a place to feel seen and help shift your perspective, discover more about yourself, connect with your feelings, and discover meaning from your experiences.

Hi, I'm Meg!
Growing up with horses and competing in the discipline of English Show jumping, it was a natural lead into my career as a Counsellor and Coach. My focus on growth mindset training and development began when I saw a need for the use of positive language to accomplish goals in the sport and academic settings, professionally and in my personal life.
Focusing on counselling clients who are neuro-diverse is very rewarding. Using equine assisted therapy, alongside other counselling approaches, I get to help clients gather an understanding of where they are at and strategies to get where they want to be.
