Relationship Issues Therapists in Halifax, NS
I have worked with many couples in relationship counselling, improving communication and healthy dynamics.
Using an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approach, I help clients learn and practice ways to reduce the impact of unhelpful thoughts and difficult feelings on values-driven behavior. Acceptance of one's emotions, cultivating self-compassion and mindfully diffusing from destructive thoughts is key. I also offer art therapy sessions.

My work has a strong focus on attachment trauma, relationship stressors, anxiety and depression, substance use, and how the body and mind work in tandem.
Welcome, my name is Dawn and I have been working with individuals and groups in the fields of community-based development, education, health and wellness, and physical rehabilitation for over 20 years. Using narrative, trauma informed, and somatic approaches, I follow the philosophy that people are not their problems, behaviours, or past. If we can externalize and deconstruct the latter, by tapping into values and strengths, then there is potential to rewrite your narrative moving forward. I am dedicated in assisting you in relieving the stressors of holding onto stories that do not connect with your true self concept.

My various trainings in relationship therapy, modern psychoanalysis, and in the treatment of dissociative disorders have provided me with the skills necessary to work with patients who present with a variety of disorders and are interested in living a happier and more fulfilling lives.
I am best able to help clients who are desirous of making changes in their lives and understand that "the slower you go, the faster you get there". My practice provides a safe space for patients to put all of their thoughts and feelings into words. As patients talk, they learn about themselves and better understand their journey. As the unconscious becomes conscious, patients are able to make more thoughtful and meaningful choices and thus begin to live more full and meaningful lives.

For couples, EFT helps work through escalating cycles and build trust, providing hope for greater safety and intimacy.
Lots of things get in the way of the lives we want, both within ourselves and out in the world. Sometimes, we know what we want to be different, but somehow can't make it happen. Whether you're working through this on your own or with a partner, sorting through the challenge to find where to start can be really difficult.
What is intolerable? Too much? Too confusing? How could those things ever be workable? Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps develop this awareness and capacity through experiential, supportive sessions.

This can be really difficult to do, especially when we've experienced relational trauma.
My approach is relational, trauma-informed and rooted in anti-oppressive values. I view my role as a therapist as a holder of a process, a guide, a witness, an anchor, and a loving presence. I believe that people don’t change or grow when they are told to be different, but when they are met exactly as they are. I seek to do so with compassion and curiosity.
