Spirituality Therapists in Dartmouth, NS

I am a clinical social worker in Dartmouth NS with over ten years experience providing specialized treatment for individuals and family members affected by addictive behaviours such as substance abuse and gambling. My areas of interest include trauma, spirituality, grief and anxiety management.

I see therapy as a creative, collaborative process. I am influenced by by the work of Carl Jung, and I have received post-graduate training in a diverse set of treatment modalities (EMDR, IFS, ACT, CPT, PE, EFT). I enjoy using a unique blend of EMDR and IFS for deeper trauma work, but I am also comfortable with more traditional forms of talk therapy. For work with couples/families, I use a family systems approach and am well-suited to helping couple/family units navigate neurodivergence such as ADHD, highly sensitive people (HSP), BPD and Bipolar Disorder. I am open to and encourage discussing spirituality in our therapy sessions.

Currently accepting virtual clients for individual and/or couples therapy and parenting consults.

Many people describe a feeling of being stuck in their lives. Limiting subconscious core beliefs and habitual thinking are what holds most back from living the life they want. Whether personal or business, I can help you to make the positive changes in yourself so that you can be free and move forward, whether that means stopping a destructive habit, or charting a new course in life.

Some of life's problems are difficult to solve alone. Maybe you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed and you know something needs to change, but you’re not sure what or how. Maybe you’re recognizing that you need focused support during a difficult time in your life. Or maybe you're ready to shift a recurring pattern that seems to get in the way of peace and fulfillment. Together, we can work to understand and address the difficulties you’re facing. I believe in your inherent capacity for growth and healing, and I am committed to offering a warm, authentic, and compassionate environment where you can feel heard, respected, and supported.

Life can be hard. We all go through times when the daily tasks of living seem overwhelming and the joy we used to feel is gone. Many of us try to tough it out.

My ideal client is at the bottom of their “to do” list. They are overworked and pushing themselves beyond capacity. They are likely suffering from symptoms of burnout, stress, anxiety and/or depression. These clients often struggle to understand their own needs because they have neglected themselves, and their mental health for far too long.

Sometimes we are living at our best, in harmony with the highs and lows of life. Other times we are stressed, uncertain, overwhelmed and need help with the balance. Relationships are impacted, connections may be strained between family members, past experiences can affect the ability to live in the present moment. Major life transitions can be difficult, and feelings may seem too big to manage.

Do you feel challenged or overwhelmed by e.g.: general life problems, mental health problems like anxiety or depression, issues of abuse and trauma, marital/ relationship problems, separation/ divorce, bullying, career issues, parental difficulties, life or workplace stress, grief and loss, women’s issues or health-related topics? My services are tailored towards your particular circumstances and needs.

Welcome. My intention is to offer a safe place for you to enter into a journey of healing. My hope is that you and I can create a positive environment where we can work together on the issues and challenges that have brought you here. .

I believe that therapy is a great place for self-exploration, discovery and healing. As your therapist, I believe in providing a safe, validating, non-judgmental space for you to have the opportunity to share your story and be heard. I work with a variety of clients across the lifespan with a particular focus on LGBTQIA2s+ and non-binary folks.

Life is filled with struggles and challenges and they can seem difficult to overcome or even meet. Counselling helps people recognise the strengths that they already have to not only address life's challenges, but come out the other side stronger.

Finding the right counsellor can be hard! I can resonate with the experience of seeking out counselling. It can be intimidating and anxiety-inducing. If you’re feeling this way, I want you to know you’re welcome here. Therapy is for all, regardless of what you are experiencing in your life. I am a married mother of two and grew up with four siblings. Relationship dynamics, whatever they might be, can be hard to manage. Your thoughts do not dictate who you are! Let’s work together to explore the feelings that are driving us, use them to our advantage, and create the newness you deserve.

How many people are willing to understand the true feelings in a person's heart? I believe it is easy to define psychological illness, but it is very hard to find out a person's true feelings. This is the biggest challenge for one’s career. With that in mind, I work to understand all feelings and help all my clients learn to work through their difficulties to gradually become internally independent until they no longer need me.
