Are you not feeling quite like yourself lately? Maybe you are feeling depressed, anxious or stressed out. If so, therapy/counselling might just be what you need. I work with my clients to help them learn skills to combat their anxiety, improve their mood and cope with stress. Are you or someone you care about struggling with substance use? I have been helping people affected, both directly and indirectly, with substance use since 2012. I mainly work with adults, and all my appointments are virtual. I am available evenings/weekends/holidays.

You have lost a loved one recently or a while ago. My heart goes out to you. You're here because you're looking for a way to heal and, at the same time, find a safe space to talk about your feelings without being judged. The Healing for Grieving Hearts program gathers my personal experiences and expertise with grief. We focus on the therapeutic art interventions I have used for years as an art therapist. You will discover compassionate actions and rituals that you can use when needed in the future.

My practice is rooted in the relationships that clients and I build together, creating spaces of trust and security; that’s where healing can start. I am passionate about providing trauma-informed mental health support that is accessible, rooted in compassion and aware of systemic barriers. I genuinely love working with people while witnessing them confront their challenges and grow as individuals; providing counselling gives me with an incredible sense of meaning and vitality.

I thrive on navigating my clients through times of emotional distress, depression and anxiety. I feel confident in helping people find inner peace, mental tranquillity and emotional calm through counselling and psychotherapy. I believe that a human being who is in search of reducing stress levels, boosting the quality of life, and achieving spiritual and mental sophistication and emotional stability would appreciate guidance and companionship. I would be glad to be at the service of my clients who feel this way.

Is the inside of your head feeling like an uncomfortable place to be? Working with a mental health professional can create a meaningful shift. Sometimes the harsh things we say to ourselves and our unconscious patterns can leave us trapped in a cycle of just trying to survive the day. Could the way you've learned to cope/survive be keeping you stuck or moving you away from who you want to be and how you want to live? Learning to see yourself, your life, and your patterns clearly can create opportunities for healing, growth, and more meaningful relationships.

My practice is general in scope, and I work with individuals presenting with anxiety, stress, obsessive-compulsive disorders, major depressive disorders, and other mood-related conditions. I also work with individuals presenting with personality disorders, trauma and other relational/interpersonal difficulties. I also provide comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological assessment services (e.g., ADHD, ASD, Brain Injury, Personality and Interpersonal Functioning). Over time, my client's ' symptoms reduce, and we shift focus to finding meaning and fulfillment in life.

I am an experienced, thoughtful and dedicated Clinical Social Worker available to help you develop goals for managing emotions, dealing with stress, coping strategies and increased self-awareness. I work with pre-teens, adolescents, young people and adults.

I am a Clinical Psychologist in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I work with adults (ages 18 years and older) experiencing a variety of emotional difficulties and conditions, including anxiety, depression, obsessions/compulsions, posttraumatic stress, low self-esteem, performance anxiety, perfectionism, excessive worry, and procrastination. I am happy to provide services in English or French.

I have the privilege of helping clients with a wide range of issues including emotional issues and relationship challenges. These could include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, shame, self-esteem and relationship conflicts. My goal is to support and strengthen your relationship with yourself and your other relationships. I have experience working in the school setting and treating adult and adolescent mental health & addiction. I will support you with what you’re struggling with, what direction you want your life to take, and what steps to take to get there. I will help you gain a sense of control over yourself and your life.

I believe that people are inherently healthy and resilient, and capable of recovering from areas where they may be stuck by finding new insights, knowledge and tools. I see my role as helping people find their way through mental health challenges, challenges with family relationships or with work, struggles with chronic illness, loss and grief, or through life transitions to see their highest potential.

Stressful situations can eat away at our ability to cope and function, or we can get stuck in unhelpful patterns of thinking, behaving, and relating to others that interfere with our living a meaningful life. It can be scary to think about making changes. I will take time to listen and understand your situation so we can identify and move towards your goals. Together, we can learn how you respond to stressful situations and relationships, and find new ways of coping to build a life worth living. I believe everyone has the capacity to heal and grow: my job is to create a space where you are empowered and supported in this journey.

As a trained Transpersonal Wilderness Therapist with more than 10 years of professional experience, I work both in and outside the box of traditional talk therapy. I coach parents and first time fathers, provide concrete tools for technology addictions and emotional challenges, offer deep counseling therapy for trauma survivors and psycho-spiritual support for people exploring beyond the material world for answers. If we can meet in person, we have access to 5 different wilderness areas in Nova Scotia for Counseling Therapy with horses, ocean, forests, rivers and plants. If we can only meet online, we'll open to the Wild near you.
