Female Therapists in Newfoundland and Labrador

I am a registered social worker who works with a variety of individuals facing trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and relationship issues. My approach is non-judgmental, and I aim to create safe spaces to work collaboratively with clients. I use a variety of therapeutic methods that are tailored to an individual's concerns, rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Hello! Welcome to The Serenity Space, I am so glad you are here. At the heart of my work is my value of creating a safe space for us to explore topics together. I am passionate about supporting individuals and couples through conflict in relationships, experiences with big emotions, transitions through postpartum/parenthood, or feelings of being constantly stressed or on edge. Whatever season of life you find yourself in, I hope to provide a supportive space to explore it together.

It can take a lot of courage to reach out! I hope you feel safe here. Mental health challenges such as anxiety can show up in our body through digestive problems/IBS, muscle tension, exhaustion, pain, headaches, etc. - often related to or intensified by stress & trauma. My work alongside individuals is compassionate, and engages the mind and body to move through the joys and challenges of life. Sessions include breathwork, mindfulness, the nervous system, attachment, somatic work, IFS, nature & cognitive strategies. I will support you with tools to help you cope with your experiences, relationships, regulate emotions & find balance.

Life tends to be full of ups and downs, with no shortage of uncertainties and challenges. At times, we may find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, stressed, overworked, burnt out, depressed, lacking in sleep, lacking in meaning, struggling in relationships, or stuck and unsure how to proceed. We may also realize that we're repeating unhelpful cycles, behaviours, or thought patterns that we developed in response to past experiences and that it’s time to make some changes. It's during these times that we can benefit from additional support, perspective, and strategies.

Life can quickly become so busy that everyday interactions become overwhelming obstacles, impacting your life in ways you may not even realize. I work to create a safe, non judgemental space where you can explore these issues and more, while learning how changes to your thoughts, actions, and feelings, can have a significant impact on your wellbeing. I also support your ability to tune into the present, exploring your felt senses as messages that your body is communicating to you. In this way, you regain control over things that could otherwise feel impossible.

Have you checked all of the boxes, followed all of the steps, and find yourself asking ‘now what?’ Whether it’s navigating a career path or your relationships, it can be challenging to know the right way forward. As someone who has recently moved home after living abroad, I understand how difficult it can be to determine the next steps personally and professionally. I offer counselling that can provide you with a space to tune out the outside noise and tune in to your own thoughts and feelings. While there is no one right way to do things, together we’ll explore the way that is right for you.

One of the consequences of stress is re-experiencing it in the mind and body, leaving us depleted and disconnected from life. Intense reactions can be confusing and distressing. Making sense of our experiences, putting them in perspective, and changing unhelpful ways of thinking, behaving, and coping increases our resilience. I welcome individuals from all walks of life and have a particular interest in survivors of sexual violence and exploitation; first responders, frontline workers, military, veterans and their families; survivors of adverse childhood experiences; workplace stress and life transitions; and older adults.

It feels like you've tried everything and nothing has been good enough. You feel lost and overwhelmed trying to navigate the challenges, stresses, and obstacles that keep showing up. You dream of living a life you feel good about, where you can manage life's hardships with confidence and resilience. You want your life to be meaningful and fulfilling. You know you need to make changes in your life to get there, but you aren't sure what needs to change or how to start. Choosing a therapist to help you figure it out and guide you in living the life you want is a big step. I'm here to help you, guide you, and support you.

With over 20 years of experience working with individuals and groups, I am passionate and experienced in building strong, nurturing relationships with my clients as we sort through life's challenges together. Particular areas of interest and expertise include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, women’s issues, relationship issues, life transitions and personal growth. While some clients prefer short-term, highly structured sessions, others prefer a more longstanding, fluid relationship to support them through life's ups and downs.

With me you will find a therapist whose style is gently challenging, balanced with a sense of humor, patience, and non-judgmental understanding.

Some of us don't feel "normal." Whether we have disabilities, chronic pain, neurodivergence, cultural differences, LGTBQIA+, or just have rare hobbies that we're very into. It's easy to feel "different." It impacts everything, from our relationships to our careers, to what it feels like in our own skin. Finding your place in this world can be a serious challenge, and it can seem impossible to get ahead and just feel good in your life.

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.

Are you feeling constantly on edge or restless, unable to relax? Do you find it hard to control worrying thoughts that persist?
