Find a Therapist in Chester, Nova Scotia.

Sometimes you may need help sorting through your thoughts, especially those that are not helpful or causing you outright distress. That's where psychotherapy comes in. Using empathy, reflective listening, and the occasional gentle challenge, I can help you identify and process your thoughts and emotions with the goal of improving and maintaining your mental health and well-being.

Psychotherapy is a scary word. People often chicken out long before they get to their first session. So the fact that you are reading this puts you at the head of the class. Attending a session gives you an "A". Please don't be afraid that I or any other therapist can or would remake you into something you don't want. Psychotherapy is really a partnership between us where you allow me to help you make changes you decide are useful or necessary. I am the consultant - you are the customer. We do this together, using humor, with great care and gentleness, understanding that there are no short cuts to any place worth going. It may be painful and involve hard work, but you will like the result

Patterns of self-sabotaging behavioural, disorganized thinking and overwhelming emotion make life very difficult. How can we move forward when our bodies seem to betray us and we just need a break from the buzzing anxiety or the numbing of depression? What you may not know is all these symptoms are the imprint of our unfinished business, stuck in the body and just begging to be seen, cared for and accepted. Working with me means looking with curiosity, compassion and an educated-eye at how old wounds of betrayal, abandonment and rejection show up to block living your best life. You are not alone and there is hope.
