Counselling therapy for adults and couples in Nova Scotia and Ontario

About me

I am a Masters-prepared Clinical Social Worker providing virtual counselling to couples and individuals 18 years and over within Nova Scotia and Ontario.   I have over a decade of experience in areas of Health Care Social Work, palliative care, Mental Health and Addictions, and Cancer Care, to support clients looking for change. 


 I provide couples counselling, drawing from my training in Levels 1 & 2 of Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).  Working with those who may be tired of their stagnant relationship, to those trying to deal with infidelity and betrayal, I help couples learn better communication and conflict resolution skills, along with renewing the connection they once had.  I am welcoming of  couples who are willing to put in the time, acknowledging that all relationships experience challenges that require a non-judgemental approach.


For individuals living with chronic illness, trauma, PTSD, BRFB such as trichotillomania or skin-picking, anxiety, depression, feeling stuck, or entering a new phase of life,  I offer a variety of therapy modalities tailored to your needs.  Maybe you want to process feelings about a new relationship, or not really sure what you're looking for but want you know something has to change.  Sometimes all you need is an unbiased ear to help process your thoughts.

Modalities offered:


Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 1 & 2

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Solutions Focused Therapy

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

ComB and Habit Reversal Training (HRT) for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors
