Stories—the stories we tell ourselves—are powerful, and yet we can change them. Often, the first step toward change is being open to learning about yourself and the roles you play in your stories. It takes courage to do this work. I’m here to guide you on your journey of self-understanding, acceptance, and empowerment in a safe and supportive environment. As a therapist, I’ll meet you where you are. Whether you have never been to therapy or have lots of experience, we’ll focus on what is important to you and help you gain a new perspective on your life.

I offer remote psychotherapy for adults (19+) who live in Mi’kma’ki (Nova Scotia).
When the injured psyche drives behaviour, it can isolate us from community and separate us from our own heart. Yet, when we heal our unconscious patterns and stay connected with our heart, we begin to evolve into the most loving and courageous version of ourselves. Our traumatic and injurious experiences hold lessons and opportunities for emotional, psychological and spiritual growth; as well as an opportunity to evolve beyond survival, to expand in consciousness into the wisdom of knowing ourselves and the power of mastering ourselves.
