Are you struggling with depression, anxiety or anger? Is your relationship in trouble? Grappling with a midlife career crisis, or childhood trauma?

It doesn't have to be this way. Healing is possible, but it requires the right counsellor with the right approach. My counselling goal is to get at the root of your issues, freeing you to find your UNIQUE path of joy and healing. I have successfully guided hundreds of people to more meaning, a clearer sense of their unique path, and a better life. I can do the same for you.
Going for counselling does NOT mean you are bad, sick or crazy. It means you are searching for a new path in life. I have helped clients from diverse cultures, races, genders, faiths, and sexual orientations.

Trauma comes from the Greek word for “wound,” and like curing any wound, appropriate healing actions need to be taken. I use an integrative counselling approach, tailored to the client's unique needs.

When working with me you will discover that so-called negative behaviors can actually indicate where your real strengths lie. Uncovering old, buried trauma is a messy process, but it will reveal unhealthy life patterns. Once we become aware of the root of your problems, we can create a plan for healing. Like someone with an injury to one leg may favor the other, all of us have very creative, but usually unhealthy coping mechanisms to compensate for our trauma.

Usually we are attracted to someone who has the same problem as us, but has found a different way of handling it. Marriage and long-term relationships can bring us great joy, but also confusion, and anger. The imperfect coping mechanisms we used when we were single may not mesh well with those of our partner. Creating new healthy strategies can cleanse your relationship of the negative feelings that have built up. I have been extremely successful helping couples find healthy ways to communicate. You do not necessarily need to change, you do not always have to agree, but you do have to listen to each other. My goal is to stop the pain of unnecessary conflict, and develop healthy communications. Both people need to be heard and understood for a relationship to work.

My family of origin was extremely chaotic, and this lead to me seeking answers from the great psychologists, such as Carl Rogers, Carl Jung, Eugene Gendlin, and Gabor Maté. I have an integrative approach, and I know the techniques that can help lead you to a better life.

I am available by phone, online or in person: Halifax/Dart., St. Margaret's Bay, Chester, and Hubbards. I accept uninsured clients and I offer sliding scale pricing. Please contact me today.
