Hi, I’m glad you’re here!

​

I’m a Registered Counselling Therapist with the Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists and a Canadian Certified Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I believe therapy can be a deeply powerful space, not just for healing, but for truly coming home to yourself. I’ve experienced that kind of shift in my own life, and I know how transformative it can be to feel seen, supported, and accepted just as you are.

​

I work with teens (14+) and adults who are moving through things like depression, trauma, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and identity exploration. I have a special passion for supporting folks in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and I’m committed to offering affirming, inclusive care that honors the full complexity of your experiences. â€‹You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Whether you’re feeling stuck, untethered, or unsure where to start, I’m here to walk alongside you. In our work together, I’ll show up with warmth, curiosity, honesty and sometimes even a little humor. Therapy doesn’t have to be heavy all the time; there’s space for lightness and laughter too.

​

Our sessions will move at your pace, guided by your voice and your goals. I use a blend of inclusive, evidence-based approaches that are tailored to support you in building insight, regulation, and a deeper connection to yourself. Over time, we’ll collaborate to build a toolbox that helps you meet life’s challenges with more clarity and confidence.​​​

​

If something here resonates with you, I’d love to connect. Therapy is a brave step, and you don’t have to take it alone.

Safe Space Counselling

177 Main Street, Suite 101, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia B2S 1X1​

​

Safe Space Counselling operates out of Rise Counselling Collective 

Safe Space Counselling is located in Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq. This territory is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship. Recognizing the land demonstrates gratitude, respect and appreciation to those who have lived on the land for generations and continue to do so, as well as honors the Indigenous people who have a long-standing relationship with the land. 

People of African descent have shared these lands, in what is now called Nova Scotia, for more than 400 years; over 50 strong and resourceful African Nova Scotian communities exist here today. 

pride

I am committed to providing a safe, respectful, and affirming space for individuals of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions. I recognize the unique challenges faced by LGBTQIA2S+ communities and are dedicated to offering inclusive, compassionate, and competent counselling services.

My practice is grounded in the values of equity, dignity, and intersectionality. I honour the diversity within LGBTQIA2S+ identities and acknowledge the ongoing impact of systemic discrimination, while working to create a therapeutic environment that fosters healing, growth, and self-acceptance.

You are welcome here, exactly as you are.
