Female Therapists in Halifax, NS
Much of my other work has been in support of women facing issues of violence, sexual assault, and the need for supportive housing.
Feeling stuck in a cycle of negativity, insecurity, or hopelessness? Do you long to improve your relationship with yourself and others? Through therapy, old patterns give way as you gain more access and understanding of your emotions, and a stronger and wiser version of yourself becomes available. I hold space for your healing and growth and also for your unique values, beliefs, and lived experience. In addition to individual therapy, I also offer couples counseling, where we work to understand negative patterns that keep you in conflict, and begin to create new patterns of connection, safety, and trust.

Taking the step to start therapy or even continuing with therapy can be difficult. It can mean unboxing the past that you have been holding on or realising that change needs to be done that you may not be ready for. Maybe you feel stuck, or are struggling with difficult emotions, overthinking, past trauma, life changes, relationship difficulties or doing more or less of certain things. A lot of times this also translates into difficulty connecting with others, trouble making decisions or just getting through the day.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or life's unpredictable changes? You don't have to navigate it by yourself. I provide individual psychotherapy to adults (aged 19+) in both NS and NB who are struggling with various concerns, including anxiety, stress, and significant life transitions like relationship and career changes. I believe in the power of laughter and positivity, integrating humor and positive psychology to create a more enjoyable and effective therapeutic experience.

Mindful Healing is a place where you can rest, talk, gain clarity and heal; a place where your natural innate healing abilities are validated, respected and encouraged. Together, you and I decide which approach is best for the presenting circumstances. At times, you may need bodywork such as massage or reflexology. Other times, counselling and/or hypnosis therapy are appropriate. I am often asked to draw upon Energy Therapies: Reiki, Eden Energy Medicine,Therapeutic Touch, Quantum Touch® and Emotional Freedom Techniques (“tapping’). My philosophy is based on client-centered therapy which encourages self-knowledge and inner wisdom.

Clients come to me when they (or their loved ones) are dealing with anxiety, depression, behavioural challenges, mood swings, challenging life events, flash backs, PTSD, or childhood trauma. I use Brainspotting, EMDR, Creative Arts therapy and other strength-based approaches to help clients build confidence, self-understanding, and concrete strategies to manage the challenges of daily life.

At some point in our lives, we all feel overwhelmed, confused, stuck, or lost. These times can increase our stress and anxiety. In those times, we need understanding, validation, safety, and support to overcome our challenges. I aim to provide you with a safe place to share and process your current challenges. With a deeper understanding, we can then work together towards learning new skills and strategies that can help you move forward, build resilience, and better cope with any future obstacles.

Healing from trauma isn't about "fixing" something that's broken within you; it's a profound unravelling of rediscovering and embracing the parts of yourself that have remained hidden in the shadows of fear and chaos. It's about dismantling destructive patterns created out of survival so that you can reconnect and come home to your authentic SELF. It's about learning to live with a full range of experiences and emotions and feeling as though you are capable, worthy, and enough.

I believe in the importance of understanding, trust, connection & belonging in the therapeutic relationship as the place where change can begin. Are you experiencing OCD and Anxiety and just feeling stuck. Are you feeling tired and exhausted of doubt controlling your life? Feeling as if your trapped in the cycle of intrusive thoughts and compulsions that when you finally have some relief, OCD is right back it again. Have you ever wished you had a remote control or tools where you could just turn down the noise. You don't have to face OCD alone, remember OCD wants you for itself, and its time to start to breaking OCD rules.
