Thanks for stopping by. I provide a virtual private practice offering adult Nova Scotians an empathetic and validating therapeutic experience. I offer evening and weekend appointments. At this time, I am meeting clients via the secure Zoom platform. This platform allows me to reach clients all over Nova Scotia. I have over 10 years experience working with adults dealing with mental health concerns such as Anxiety, Depression, and Addiction. I also offer guidance and therapeutic support to help navigate life transitions, career-related stress, and assist clients to develop coping strategies for various stressors.
I offer a trauma informed practice. My therapeutic interventions are based on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Brief Intervention Therapy, and Addiction Therapy, I have prior clinical experience working in Community Mental Health clinics, Hospital and Emergency Departments, and the Non Profit Sector,
I look at life as a complicated but wonderful journey. When our thoughts, emotions or behaviours block our path to where we want to go having a safe space to work through things is invaluable. I offer you this space. Together we can identify and change any negative thought patterns which can promote a positive behaviour change for you.
