Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Dartmouth, NS
I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist specializing in psychotherapy, sexual therapy, sex education and wellness counseling. With extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families aged 16 and older, I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for my clients. I understand that navigating through challenging life situations and problematic relationships can be overwhelming and isolating. This can often lead to feelings of low mood, anxiety, and ineffective coping mechanisms. Taking a holistic approach, I deeply value and honor each individual's unique lived experiences.

I am best able to help clients who are desirous of making changes in their lives and understand that "the slower you go, the faster you get there". My practice provides a safe space for patients to put all of their thoughts and feelings into words. As patients talk, they learn about themselves and better understand their journey. As the unconscious becomes conscious, patients are able to make more thoughtful and meaningful choices and thus begin to live more full and meaningful lives.

My work as a therapist is grounded by my belief in the inherent dignity of all people, the wisdom of our bodies, and our innate capacity to heal. I often work with people who might want to believe these things, too, but struggle to find hope after experiences of trauma or distress. I believe that therapy can help us learn to move through the world with more ease, presence, and compassion (for self and others). As a queer and non-binary therapist, I have a special place in my heart for queer and trans clients. I aim to offer a counselling experience that is safe and that does not require you to justify or explain your identity.

With over 25 years of experience as a therapist in the mental health field, I believe the most crucial aspect of therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. I prioritize understanding your perspective and supporting your personal growth from there. Mental health challenges often lead to avoidance, which can complicate and diminish life satisfaction over time. It can be tough to get out of bed or complete daily tasks, but my training and experience equip me to help you reclaim a fulfilling life.

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.
