Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Dartmouth, NS.

Is anxiety preventing you from enjoying aspects of your life? Does stress have you missing out on things you used to enjoy? Through counselling, I can help equip you with skills and tools to manage your anxiety and stress and put you back in the driver's seat of your life. Learn to modify your thoughts and behaviours and take back control of your day to day experiences.

I am trained in a narrative therapy approach. This will allow you to explore the anxiety and stress you experience daily in your life as an external element in your life. As this process unfolds we will explore various coping strategies that would benefit you greatly in your day to day life. My non-judgemental, confidential, client centred and narrative approach might be what you need to help you through the anxiety and stress you encounter.

While our bodies are perfectly designed to adapt and react to stress, modern problems mean that we tend to detect life threatening dangers in very ordinary places. Conflicts at work, arguments in our relationships and uncertainties such as the post-Covid world activate old survival mechanisms. We may be stuck in the buzzing, fear states of ‘fight-flight’ or the numb and paralyzed states of ‘freeze and shut down.’ The good news is that I have a long history of safely and successfully helping individuals and couples to reduce and release stress using a variety of CBT and mindfulness techniques, as well as trauma-informed therapy. You have my commitment to compassionate and educated care.
