Counselling in Nova Scotia

Are you not feeling like yourself? Feeling burnt out? Stressed? Frustrated and can't figure out why? Maybe you are not sure what the next step in your life is, or like you are a bit behind your friends in terms of life stages.

I am a therapist located in Halifax, Nova Scotia and offer in-person and virtual counselling services. I help individuals navigate a range of personal challenges including stress, life transitions, work-life balance, depression, anxiety, and self-injury, suicide, and men's issues. I am also interested in helping people who work in high-stress jobs such as doctors and veterinarians. 

I have special interests in working with physicians and veterinarians (and allied vet med professionals). If you are a physician, doctor, veterinarian, or veterinary technician or veterinary assistance, you can contact me directly to set up and appointment. You can also with your EAP provider to see if you have coverage for counselling that can be direct billed to the EAP.

I use a combination of therapeutic approaches to help you achieve your personal goals and live a healthier life, however the main therapy approach I use is client-centered therapy , also called non-directive therapy. I also use aspects of acceptance and commitment therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. We will work on your personal goals, finding a way forward, and understanding the link between past and present experiences. To learn more about my therapy approach, visit this page.
