“Hi, I’m Teresa a registered clinical specialist social worker here in Mi’kma’ki (Nova Scotia). I support people through life’s tough moments - navigating grief, loss and change. I also support people feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or who just aren’t quite feeling like themselves. I love to witness and celebrate the joyful parts of life, the moments of hope, healing, and new beginnings with you too. My goal is to offer a relaxed and supportive space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and work through what’s on your mind.
I believe that everyone deserves to feel heard and cared for. I take the time to get to know you, understand your story, and help you find what works best for you. I use a gentle but honest and practical approach that focuses on your strengths and what matters to you.
People often tell me they appreciate my down-to-earth style, playful approach and the sense of ease they feel in our sessions. My best hope is that you leave each session feeling a little lighter, a little more understood, and more confident in your ability to navigate what comes next.
My approach is simple: be present, listen without judgment, center curiosity & connection and work together to find helpful ways forward.
I have special training in relationships, families, infant and perinatal mental health and trauma healing.
In the therapy world the professional trainings I draw from are known as Somatic Experiencing® (a body-based therapy for treating trauma), Attachment Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, Circle of Security™ , Narrative Therapy, Tree of Life and Anti-Oppressive frameworks. I am also fluent in Solution Focus & Macmaster Models of Family Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). If you’d like skillful compassionate while “keeping it real” support, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.”
