I believe the formation of a ​strong therapeutic alliance is detrimental to the therapeutic process, wherein it is built on trust, empathy, acceptance, and mutual ​understanding. With a passion for learning and development, I am always willing to inform my knowledge based on client ​presentation of problem(s), ensuring each receives an appropriate scope of treatment and understanding. I've worked with a variety of clients from various backgrounds; namely those experiencing trauma or stressor related symptoms and/or disorders, often as a result of a traumatic workplace or ​career related event(s). I've also worked with disabilities.
I use an integrated approach to inform my practice, wherein treatment is formed around each client’s unique ​story while simultaneously providing the utmost guidance and support to those seeking treatment. My experience ​reflects the use of CPT, CBT, DBT, ACT/TF-ACT, mindfulness-based interventions, and strengths-based therapy - among others.
In working with the Anxiety and Trauma Clinic of Nova Scotia, I hope to provide my clients with a space where ​they can seek comfort in the uncomfortable, feeling safe and supported throughout their journey - no matter where in that journey they are. I very much look forward to hearing from you and working together on your path to a kind mind!

As seen under treatment preferences, I utilize a wide range of approaches in my practice - often a combination of several to ensure the most customized approach. However, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is one of the more structured therapeutic approaches I am familiar with utilizing. CPT teaches one how to evaluate and alter problematic thoughts/beliefs often arising as a result of trauma.
