Trauma Focused Therapists in Dartmouth, NS

I work with pilots and men in high-pressure careers who are navigating anxiety, burnout, identity challenges, or major life transitions. Many of the people I support are looking for counselling that is practical, confidential, and respectful of their professional context. For pilots concerns about career impact, medical implications often create hesitation around seeking support.

You work with thoughtful, high-functioning adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns of over-giving, self-doubt, burnout, or repeating relationship dynamics. Your practice supports clients who want to understand the deeper roots of their experiences, build self-trust, and create healthier, more grounded ways of relating to themselves and others.

We are a group practice with psychologists, CCC's, CT's, and a therapy dog who offer counselling and formal psycho-educational assessments. We cover a broad range of presenting concerns for children, youth, families, couples, and individuals. We offer a variety of approaches as well: EMDR, Cognitive-Hypnotherapy, Art Therapy, Play-Based Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Attachment-Based, Somatic.

Real change is possible when ALL of you feels safe enough to be seen and supported, just as you are.

I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and ADHD to help them understand and embrace the parts of themselves that are often hidden beneath these labels. I also support parents in discovering their most authentic and confident parenting style, free from the pressure of societal myths and expectations.
