Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by past trauma, anxiety, grief, disconnection, or challenges in your relationships, you don't have to face it alone. I work with individuals and couples navigating personal struggles, communication issues, intimacy concerns, and sex therapy. I'm curious about what's going on for you, and together we'll create a safe, supportive space where you can let yourself be seen, heard, and understood, free to explore any topic without judgment or shame.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples build lasting emotional connections, heal from past wounds, and improve communication. I use an integrative approach drawing on Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and other evidence-based methods. I also bring in somatic awareness, narrative approaches, and attachment-based work depending on what fits best for you. If something comes up that feels hard to say, that's usually exactly where we need to go.

I see clients in-person in downtown Halifax, NS, and virtually across Nova Scotia, Ontario, and other Canadian provinces. Individual sessions are $140 and couples sessions are $170. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit. If it does, I'd love to hear from you.
