Hi, I’m glad you're here. I'm Teresa a Registered Clinical Specialist Social Worker in Mi’kma’ki (Nova Scotia). I support people through life’s tough moments - navigating grief, loss and change. I also support people feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or who just aren’t quite feeling like themselves. I love to witness and celebrate the joyful parts of life, the moments of hope, healing, and new beginnings with you too. My goal is to offer a relaxed and supportive space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and work through what’s on your mind.
I have special training in relationships, families, infant and perinatal mental health and trauma healing. In the therapy world the professional trainings I draw from are known as Anti Oppressive Somatic Experiencing (a body-based therapy for treating trauma), Attachment Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, Circle of Security, Narrative Therapy, &Tree of Life.
Whether you’re dealing with stress, relationship challenges, grief, new or past experiences, or simply trying to make sense of life, you don’t have to sort things out on your own. If you’d like skillful compassionate while “keeping it real” support, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.

My best hope is that you leave each session feeling a little lighter, a little more understood, and more confident in your ability to navigate what comes next. My approach is simple: be present, listen without judgment, center curiosity & connection and work together to find helpful ways forward.
