Please Note: At this time, I am only able to serve people in Ontario and Alberta. Our past has a way of causing ripples in our present lives, my role is to help you settle the waters of your life and help you cope with life's future waves. If you're struggling with overcoming a substance use concern, or have a loved one who is struggling, it's important to have someone to talk to and stop suffering in silence. If you have a goal of improving your mental health, reducing the harm your use or someone else's use has on your life, it may be time to speak to someone.

Based in rural Nova Scotia, I meet clients in my home-based office, Zoom or phone, or can travel to clients' homes, depending on needs and preferences. I am experienced working with issues ranging from improving personal efficiency, life transitions, to profound trauma and grief. I believe strongly in working with clients' existing strengths to help achieve a more rich, meaningful life. I resist labels and diagnoses, rather want to focus more on clients' and families' empowerment, and how whatever labels they come up with contribute or interfere with life goals.You can also look me up at www.acadiantherapist.com!

I enjoy working with clients who have experienced trauma and are attempting to break away from it. Whether that's attachment trauma or PTSD, I enjoy helping my clients find peace and acceptance as they work toward self-acceptance, forgiveness, and understanding. Clients often come complaining of flashbacks, nightmares, relationship issues, substance abuse issues, emotional expression and/or reactivity.

As we move away from the restrictions of the Covid pandemic, many are still negatively impacted through issues with family members, job loss, uncertainty and fear. I can offer support to women experiencing this, as well as trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief and loss. If you are finding times of transition (marriage/divorce/empty nest/peri-menopause/menopause) challenging or you are feeling stuck, lonely or unfulfilled, then I welcome the chance to listen and support you in moving forward. Together, we can look at issues and choose the tools/techniques that will cause healthy change and balance.

Life can be a lot, and we don’t get to skip over the rough parts. It might be an especially stressful time, or old issues and patterns might be holding us back. Sometimes it’s from moving through systems that cause harm. And sometimes we just get tired, and need someone in our corner. It can help to talk to someone who's not directly involved for support, insight, and a safe place to unpack it all. The longer I do this, the more I feel “mental health” isn’t quite the right term… it’s often physical, or spiritual, or cultural. The good news is we can start wherever you are. We can talk, move, go outside, or just feel what’s there.

I love to work with highly sensitive people at a stage where they want to drop the toxic drama and begin to engage in life rather than react to it. I love working with couples and individuals who need a different framework because their current model of the world isn't working anymore. In the second half of life, we look to relate to the world, not manage it.

Sometimes things in life feel too big and too hard to face alone. Perhaps you're experiencing depression, anxiety or grief. You might need help navigating codependency, challenges with substance use, compulsive behavior or need postpartum support. Maybe you're interested in exploring your gender/sexual identity or alternatives to your current relationship dynamics. Counselling can help you better cope with your struggles, work through mental health challenges, face addiction, process trauma, and find clarity, hope, and healing. Our time together is free of judgment in a space cultivated in safety, trust and empathy.

Learning to let go of negative thoughts, feelings and beliefs takes work. Change is not an easy process, but they say that nothing worth doing is. Where there is struggle there is also opportunity for growth. Together we will sort through past traumas, learning to stop worrying and to enjoy the present moment. Everyone gets lost from time to time, there is no shame in that. I am here to support you and to help you to find your way out of the darkness. Remember, it is always darkest right before the dawn.

What type of mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist, psychologist, or counsellor, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counsellor in Digby?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.
What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Psychologists in Digby specialize in therapeutic approaches such as CBT, EMDR, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), among others. Finding a psychologist or therapist who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.
How to use my insurance?
Many therapists accept health insurance. Check to see if your insurance is covered. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the therapist.
