In Person Therapists in Hammonds Plains, NS
If you feel sad, stressed, anxious or depressed, no purpose, I can help. I work with clients to achieve inner peace, optimal health, true joy, & lasting success in their personal and professional lives. Most of them feel stressed out, anxious, sad, or can't get stuff done, are close to burnout, and are secretly (or openly) struggling with their own mental and physical health. Some also want to get off some medications and don't know how to do it without having awful withdrawal symptoms. Maybe they are also struggling with memory issues, weight issues, CPTSD, hormonal issues, and other issues affecting their brain and mental health.

I have extensive experience working with couples dealing with martial and relational issues. My systemic style of working with families helps build a strong bond between family members while exploring some potential root causes of discord. I also have a keen interest in working with parents on the many facets of parenting. Ranging from behaviour modification to raising children of character, integrity and respect. I also enjoy my work with individuals, starting from as young as 15 onward. I treat adjustment and mood disorders as well as anxiety, self-esteem, personal growth, stress/burnout, grief, and those dealing with separation and divorce.

I am currently a Master’s level MA in Counselling Psychology practicum student who is qualified to practice onsite under the clinical supervision of an approved practicum Supervisor. There are many reasons why someone may choose to seek therapy services, and these reasons are as individual as the person themselves. In my practice, I work collaboratively with clients to determine their therapeutic goals and how they would like to move toward them.

Now Accepting New Clients! I recognize that reaching out for help can be frightening; my role as a therapist is to provide you with a space to explore your challenges at your own pace. In my practice, I work with individuals from various backgrounds, cultures, and lived experiences by providing client-centred counselling services to individuals (18+) and couples. With my own lived experience and theoretical background, I aim to create a welcoming environment for individuals to explore the complexities and stressors of daily life while also navigating the rigorous roads of trauma.

None of us deserve to face life feeling alone. You deserve a safe space where you can feel heard; a place to work through whatever comes your way; and a place to gain tools that you can use to live every day to the fullest. Perhaps you have a child who is learning to work through their emotions, or you are a young person having a hard time at school or at home. Maybe you are a parent looking to find ways to connect with your child(ren) differently than you are now or you're an adult who is about to go through a big life transition and want a listening ear.

I have a special interest in supporting clients in their journey towards parenthood, and building a strong early attachment relationship with their child(ren). Becoming a parent can challenge you in ways you had never imagined, both physically and emotionally. It is never too early to reach out for support. This is particularly true for individuals who have experienced fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, traumatic birth experiences, or are struggling with their own expectations of what it means to be a parent.

I am currently a Master’s level MA in Counselling Psychology practicum student who is qualified to practice onsite under the clinical supervision of an approved practicum Supervisor. I recognize that feeling stuck is a universal human experience, one that can overwhelm individuals amidst life’s daily challenges. Often, what holds us back isn’t just the visible issue at hand, but the intricate web of emotions and past experiences woven beneath it. In my practice, I cultivate a supportive and non-judgmental space where individuals can freely explore their thoughts, feelings, experiences, and therapeutic goals.

Sometimes life can all add up and we find ourselves wondering “how did I get here?” or feeling stuck, not knowing what direction to take our first step. That is where therapy can help. My approach to therapy is that of genuine care and compassion balanced with gentle nudging towards the life you want to live. How do you want to show up to the world? to yourself? The answer may not be all that clear right now, but if you choose, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your therapeutic journey as you gain an understanding of your stuck points, build on coping skills, reach your goals and come out the other side of the tough stuff.
