Have you ever felt unsure of who you are? Or felt lost or alone in dealing with feelings of loss, depression, or anxiety? Trauma and stressful life events can change us; an experience where we can't even recognize ourselves. Issues surrounding gender identity or sexuality can at times bring about feelings of being alone in the world. At times, it may feel like we cannot connect with our bodies in a loving way. I'm here to help you with your unexpected challenges in your life so that you can live a life that is in line with YOUR values.

Everyone has the ability to heal, grow, learn, deepen the understanding of who they are and gain knowledge on the impacts of the world around them - sometimes they just need a safe space to allow this to unfold as they figure it out. I am here to offer a safe, confidential space with a holistic approach to support your needs and allow you to discover or uncover ways to navigate what you ante going through and perhaps more.

Hi, I’m Daniel! Are you struggling with your mood, stress, or figuring out your future goals (i.e. career, school, etc.)? Do you feel curious or confused about your gender or sexuality, or are you trying to make sense of your religious or cultural beliefs as a queer person? In this impersonal & tumultuous world, we’re all feeling the weight of our emotions, daily responsibilities and uncertainty about our futures. Now more than ever, we’re feeling overwhelmed with expectations, and uncertain about how we're supposed to manage it all. It shouldn’t be so hard to live a life that feels good, and I truly believe that therapy can help!

Navigating loss, feeling anxious or frustrated with life, or difficulties in relationships can leave us feeling overwhelmed and unsure what to do. For most of us, we’re not familiar with how to deal with hard feelings. So we adapt as best we can, and develop strategies to cope. Sometimes these strategies begin to interfere with our lives, and may even make us feel worse. The good news is, therapy can help you with this. By being curious about your experiences, and listening intently, we can begin to learn what your needs are and find supportive ways to deal with the hard stuff, and move you towards feeling better & less alone.

As a Social Worker Psychotherapist I work relationally with individuals, and those in partnership with others (including couples and poly dynamics). I am drawn to themes of: shame, sexuality, neurodiversities, grief, and impediments to connection; both to oneself and others. I am queer/bisexual and genderfluid, but you don't have to be, and a person who lives with a long-term invisible chronic illness. I am based in NL but got my start as a therapist Ontario and am registered to provide therapy in 3 provinces (including Nova Scotia). My work is informed by my experiences of working in community mental health and harm reduction.

Accepting Virtual New Clients. It’s common to experience insecurity, fear, and doubt in life and in relationships. Sometimes it’s our past that is affecting us, or we may just be encountering a tricky time in our lives. If you’re struggling with these things, therapy can be a helpful avenue to gain support, healing, and new perspectives to help get un-stuck. In therapy, I like to help give a voice to parts of yourself which may be in pain, and help you find sources of strength within yourself. I believe that you are more than your struggles, and that you have the capacity to create growth and change for yourself.

Feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges and unsure where to turn? I know how isolating it can be to confront struggles that seem insurmountable. As a black first-generation immigrant in an interracial marriage, I’ve faced the challenges of blending diverse cultures while navigating personal and relational difficulties. I understand the weight of cultural expectations, the confusion of trying to fit in, and the emotional toll of carrying unresolved trauma. If you’re grappling with past experiences that haunt your present, or if anxiety and depression have left you feeling trapped in a cycle of despair, I’m here to offer a lifeline.

As we journey through life, sometimes the way is easy and other times it is not. Therapy may help us explore whatever we have encountered along the path. I work with individuals 18 and older who would like to explore the paths previously travelled, while developing strategies for balance and wellness on the journey forward. My goal is to walk with you for a time, to co-create a space to reflect, learn and grow, guided by the inherent wisdom you carry within you.
