Therapists in Newfoundland and Labrador

One of the consequences of stress is re-experiencing it in the mind and body, leaving us depleted and disconnected from life. Intense reactions can be confusing and distressing. Making sense of our experiences, putting them in perspective, and changing unhelpful ways of thinking, behaving, and coping increases our resilience. I welcome individuals from all walks of life and have a particular interest in survivors of sexual violence and exploitation; first responders, frontline workers, military, veterans and their families; survivors of adverse childhood experiences; workplace stress and life transitions; and older adults.

Welcome! I demonstrate a deep commitment to my clients by developing an individualized treatment plan that considers their unique needs, experiences, goals and cultures. I take a person-centered, evidence-based, and integrative approach. Some therapies I use include CBT, ACT, IFS, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Gottman Couples Therapy, Mindfulness, and many more! I have helped clients who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, women’s health, perinatal/postpartum, burnout, relationships, sports performance, etc.

Life can quickly become so busy that everyday interactions become overwhelming obstacles, impacting your life in ways you may not even realize. I work to create a safe, non judgemental space where you can explore these issues and more, while learning how changes to your thoughts, actions, and feelings, can have a significant impact on your wellbeing. I also support your ability to tune into the present, exploring your felt senses as messages that your body is communicating to you. In this way, you learn to accept your whole range of feelings.

Have you checked all of the boxes, followed all of the steps, and find yourself asking ‘now what?’ Whether it’s navigating a career path or your relationships, it can be challenging to know the right way forward. As someone who has recently moved home after living abroad, I understand how difficult it can be to determine the next steps personally and professionally. I offer counselling that can provide you with a space to tune out the outside noise and tune in to your own thoughts and feelings. While there is no one right way to do things, together we’ll explore the way that is right for you.
