Accepting NEW clients online or In person- Whether you are seeking counselling for the first time or returning for new support, it can be difficult to reach out. I work with clients who may be feeling “stuck” or “not like themselves” and wanting to work through why this might be. It could be related to relationships, mental health such as depression or anxiety, lack of confidence or self-esteem, work conflict, high self-expectations or any other number of life stressors. You are the expert in your life and use a collaborative approach to ensure you feel supported in session and empowered to use the tools provided out of session.

Feeling overwhelmed these days? Many of us are walking around stuck in a state of fight, flight, or freeze and we may not even be aware. The latest research says that the three ways we can find calm are: connection, safety, and being in the present moment. My goal as a therapist is to provide a space that makes these conditions possible. By engaging with our emotions, our mind, and our body in a safe and integrated way, we can move past "the stuckness" and find hope in places that we didn't think were there.

Most of my clients come in feeling stuck. Couples are having the same argument on repeat—one pushes, the other shuts down, and nothing changes. Individuals are often dealing with anxiety, overthinking, or intrusive thoughts that won’t let go. What brings them in is not a lack of effort, but frustration that what they’re doing isn’t working. I help people understand the patterns they’re caught in and how to step out of them in a way that actually holds up in real life.

After completing my education in Montreal, I returned home to Nova Scotia, where I’ve been practicing as a registered psychologist for the past 14 years in both public and private healthcare settings. My approach is to foster a supportive and collaborative environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and goals openly and without judgment. I work with adults facing a wide range of psychological and psychosocial challenges, including anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, chronic pain, trauma and PTSD, addictions, burnout, stress, and bullying.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of your next step? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure this out by yourself. When the tools you’ve relied on no longer feel effective, it may be time to gently explore a new path toward healing, clarity, and renewed connection. We offer compassionate, evidence-based support for individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addiction, life transitions, and for children who benefit from expressive, play-based healing.

It’s difficult to watch your usually thoughtful child/teen struggling with their big emotions. Your child, who is usually wise beyond their years, becomes quickly unglued. You’re pretty sure that anxiety, worries or low self-esteem are hiding under the big tears, emotional meltdowns, ‘sassy’ attitude and anger. While you desperately want to be there to support your child and help them through this turbulent time, the accumulation of stressors from the demands of life and parenting makes it hard for you to be the parent you want to be in those worst moments, leaving you feeling unsure of what will help.
