Intersubjective Therapists in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

I am an optimistic and accepting therapist, enthusiastic about working with clients in collaborative ways, seeking to uncover and understand, and finding new ways of changing your life and living with fulfilling and rewarding relationships, families and friends. Over the years I have come to appreciate the therapeutic relationship as deeply healing, a safe space for clients to reflect and explore.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and driven, yet internally struggling with relationship conflict, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, career stress, or recurring interpersonal patterns that leave them feeling stuck. Therapy can offer a space to better understand these experiences, navigate difficult emotions and relationships, and develop more grounded and meaningful ways forward. My approach is collaborative, reflective, compassionate, and direct when helpful. I aim to create a space where clients can explore difficult emotions honestly while feeling supported, understood, and challenged toward growth. Prior to becoming a Registered Psychotherapist, I worked as a family law lawyer. That experience informs my understanding of conflict, emotional strain, and the complexity people carry beneath outward competence. My life experience also includes marriage, parenthood, and work within finance/asset management, which shape the perspective I bring into therapy. I work with individuals and couples, focusing on areas like anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, career stress, separation/divorce, men’s issues, and persistent interpersonal tension. In couples work, I help partners better understand recurring cycles of conflict so that more emotionally honest, insightful and productive conversations may emerge.

Halifax is Atlantic Canada's largest city and a hub for universities, the military, and ocean-tech industries, creating a therapy community serving students, naval personnel, and knowledge workers navigating the pressures of high-achieving careers in a smaller city. Dalhousie University and Canadian Forces Base Halifax generate distinct demand for therapists who specialize in academic stress, military trauma, and the particular challenges of military family life. Nova Scotia Health provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving the South End, Bedford, and Dartmouth. Halifax's relatively small size means specialist therapist availability can be limited in some areas, and telehealth has become especially important for accessing care across Atlantic Canada.
