Find a Therapist in Sydney, Nova Scotia.

Most human beings have a place within where we are healthy and experience well being . The experience of this well being may be fleeting for some . Difficult experiences such as loss, illness, family dysfunction, burnout ,trauma and sudden changes may impact how we function in life. At times good intention strategies for coping turn into unhealthy patterns which may manifest as anxiety, chronic pain, depression , relationship problems, problems at work, anger or extreme stress. Therapy can support us in identifying with those parts of ourselves that are healthy. It is my belief that in connecting to our authentic core we will intentionally choose strategies and lifestyles that best serve us

I offer a multidisciplinary and relational approach to psychotherapy that includes early attachment work and a sensitivity to intergenerational dynamics and trauma, with a holistic orientation and evidence-based techniques. The role of the body in healing is central to my work, as I draw on many somatic practices. I also work with the arts as a healing modality. On the part of my clients, no experience in the arts is necessary. Whichever therapeutic modality we choose as best suited to your current journey, we work with the fundamental creative drive that is present in all of us to encounter the many facets of your healing pilgrimage necessary for growth and lasting change.

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.
