Halifax Relationship Therapist

I help adults and couples who want to have healthy and supportive relationships but instead find themselves feeling misunderstood, unheard, and unhappy. My clients find that issues with romantic partners, family or friends, can be difficult and unfulfilling. They feel lonely and disconnected.

What I Can Help You With

Relationships can be challenging; I understand and can help. Together, we’ll discover your hidden skills, values, and knowledge that will help you to build strong connections. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and others, learn effective communication strategies, and develop the skills to navigate conflict constructively.

My Approach to Therapy

I utilize a blend of evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs. These include narrative therapy to help you understand and build healthy relationships, solution-focused therapy to empower you to identify solutions and achieve your relationship goals, and art therapy to access and process emotions and experiences that may be difficult to express verbally.

My Experience

I am an experienced counsellor with over 15 years of experience in helping people. In the past, I had the privilege of serving as the Clinical Supervisor at New Start Counselling and as a Counsellor at Bridges Institute. I’ve also spoken at numerous national and international conferences and workshops as an expert on Narrative Therapy.

Halifax Trans & Nonbinary Therapist

I work with teens and adults who are exploring their identity or navigating life as trans, nonbinary, or gender-diverse. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or lost. You might be dealing with anxiety or depression, going through a transition, or facing challenges in school, work, or relationships that are making life difficult to enjoy.

What I Can Help You With

Life can be complicated. I understand, and I’m here to help. Together, we’ll figure out who you are, who you want be, and how to get there. In our sessions, we’ll explore the challenges and wins that have shaped you, so you can build confidence, find happiness, and gain insight.

My Approach to Therapy

My work is grounded in respect, collaboration, and compassion. Using evidence-based approaches like narrative, solution-focused, and collaborative therapy, we’ll work through what’s holding you back and weighing you down to help you move forward with purpose.

My Experience

As a queer and trans therapist with lived experience of medical transitioning, I provide affirming care informed by over a decade of providing therapy to 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals.
