I’m Carly, and I work with teens and adults to help them better understand themselves, connect with their values, and move toward a life that feels fulfilling and authentic. I've worked with people from all walks of life and have a particular interest in working with those who have been feeling stuck—whether due to anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, or other stressors—and can’t quite crack the code to getting 'unstuck'. I encourage you to show up exactly as you are. I will hold space for your emotions, experiences, and story, while getting to know you as the unique individual you are.

I have training in Person-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness-Based practices, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy.
I work from a trauma-informed, queer & trans affirming, sex positive, harm-reduction, anti-oppressive perspective. This framework helps me to understand the unique intersections of your life and how these impact your experiences as well as your access to supports. My approach is client-centered - I aim to meet you where you are at and move at a pace that is comfortable for you.

I work with EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, IFS, Mindfulness & energy work.
Are you dealing with a recent trauma or trauma in childhood that you believe may be holding you back, getting easily triggered by things you feel should not be so hard to deal with. Do you feel sad or constantly anxious and worried, or feeling that life is pulling you down and you are not sure how to get back on track? Trauma/s, old beliefs and habitual patterns may be keeping you from finding enjoyment in your life. These things are challenging to deal with on your own sometimes, but by building awareness and strong inner resources and using body centered therapy techniques, you can live life with more peace and enjoyment.

Some of us feel challenged by anxiety, depression, or anger. Some by the relationships in our lives with partners, family, or in the workplace. Parenting never fails to challenge our best intentions, or we can also find ourselves repeating behaviours and ways of thinking that no longer work for us. My clients are typically active partners in change – sometimes to change those habitual behaviours or ways of thinking, sometimes to interact more effectively, sometimes to nourish personal growth, and sometimes just to clarify and explore.

I provide holistic psychotherapy and wellness counselling to individuals and couples (18 y/o and up). I recognize that working through difficult life circumstances and/or challenging relationships can be stressful and isolating, resulting in feelings of anxiety, low mood, poor coping skills or a general sense of being stuck in a cycle of unhealthy patterns. To move forward, it’s important to honour our lived experiences, accept that deeper emotions are appropriate in certain situations and build trust in ourselves to know the difference.

Based on this, and your own motivation for seeking therapy, I use empirically supported techniques from approaches such as CBT, ACT, mindfulness, biopsychosocial approaches, CPT, and prolonged exposure
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.

I provide therapy for adults who are seeking personal growth. If you are anxious, overthinking, reactive in relationships, worried about what others think, stuck in behaviour patterns or beliefs that hold you back I would be happy to work with you.

Welcome. I have been working with individuals and groups in the fields of community-based development, education, health and wellness, rehabilitation and therapy for over 25 years. Using various approaches, I follow the philosophy that people are not their problems, behaviours, or past. I am dedicated in assisting you in relieving the stressors of holding onto stories that do not connect with your true self concept, relationships, or performance. I spend time connecting and building strong relationships with people, as I believe that trust, communication, and boundary setting are the foundations of healthy relationships.

"Until you stop breathing, there's more right with you than wrong with you." (Jon Kabat-Zinn) This is also my guide and intention as a Registered Counselling Therapist. My work is to help an individual experience themselves differently while providing compassion, presence and skill in a safe space. I offer an integrated, eclectic approach that is based on each client's needs. Understanding attachment style, the effects of trauma and the mind-brain-body connection inform my therapeutic approach.

There are times in life when we need to tell our story and have it received within a context of trust. I work with individuals navigating life-transitions that are part and parcel of being human, but that may temporarily separate them from a sense of wholeness and thriving: particularly when facing loss, illness, crisis, or events that shatter our sense of self. Within the therapeutic context, my goal is to build a relationship with my clients that facilitates trust, self-knowledge, self-acceptance, and a renewed sense of hope.

When relevant, we may use specific counselling techniques, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, psychoeducation, Narrative Therapy, Person Centred Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
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.
