Grief Therapists in Nova Scotia
My approach to mental health service delivery is simple - use all your resources to build therapeutic trust, guide assessments and conceptualize interventions. Examples of clinical interventions include trauma-informed mental health care and education for men and women 18 years old who are seeking an opinion about the status of their mental health. All services begin with an assessment. We can blend principles of trauma-informed care with other models of care for a more robust form of treatment to reduce negative responses for mental health or addictions issues.

I strive to provide a safe and creative space for people to gain a deeper self-understanding and develop tools for navigating life's challenges. As a registered counselling therapist (candidate) and accredited music therapist, my speciality lies in integrating the creative processes (music, visual art, creative writing) in therapy as tools for self-expression, reflection, empowerment, and growth. I see each person as an innately and uniquely creative person capable of using this creativity as a resource in their therapy. Sessions with me typically integrate elements of talk therapy, music therapy, and mindfulness-based practices.

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.

In this life we each face our own losses, hardships, traumas, challenges and changes. These experiences can leave us feeling alone, hurt, disconnected, confused, depressed, anxious, lost... Sometimes it may even feel as though we have lost ourselves, no longer recognizing the person in the mirror staring back at us. Therapy offers a supportive pathway through our struggles. Together we explore, find understanding, connect to what is meaningful and move towards healing. Along the way we gather your strengths and build on them, picking up those parts of yourself you thought were broken or lost while also discovering new ones.

Life can get difficult at times and it's perfectly normal to reach out for help. Whether you have anxiety, depression or other mental health concerns, you have come to the right place. You will find me caring, compassionate and non-judgemental. I have a wealth of experience providing therapy to all age groups. I typically use therapies such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Solution Focused Therapy. We would decide together the best fit for you. I would be honoured to work with you to meet your goals.

My focus is on helping clients face difficult life challenges and the emotions, worries and fears that come with them. Stress, anxiety, and depression are more familiar to us than we would like. Our goal in therapy is to improve your coping skills and overall well-being. With that, I am a firm believer in the need for an individualized journey in therapy as opposed to a one-size fits all cookbook approach. This is about you and your life. It's deeper than some technique or strategy. And so therapy has to be founded on our relationship we build and the dynamics of it. Finding a therapist right for you is important also.

I am passionate about helping my clients develop a heathier self-relationship. Throughout our lives we can accumulate shame and fear, and dismiss emotions and experiences that are challenging to look at. This dismissal of the self can cause inner turmoil, emotional dysregulation, and may keep us feeling stuck in old patterns. I create a safe space for my clients to sit with and process their emotional experiences so that they may live more wholeheartedly, show up for themselves, and show up more fully in their relationships.

Feeling disconnected from our partners is a difficult and, at times, distressing experience. You may find yourselves stuck in a cycle of conflict that feels impossible to change. The good news is you and your partner are not alone, this happens to many couples and therapy is an effective tool to (re)establishing a secure emotional connection and deeper intimacy with your partner and with yourself. Through Emotionally Focused Therapy we will identify the current cycle you are experiencing and then create new patterns of interaction that will bring you emotionally closer as a couple and strengthen your connection to one another.
