Positive Psychology Therapists in St John's, NL

Are you feeling anxious, frustrated, stuck or unsure? Are you tired of dealing with the same old issues in your relationships? Do you feel weighed down, feeling “never enough”? Maybe you wonder: Is life supposed to be this hard? Something’s not working…but you don’t know what to do about it. I am so glad you’re here. Searching for a counsellor means you sense an important truth: sometimes you need to connect with another person, who cares and understands, in order to heal and move forward. I can help you engage in honest self-examination, identify what's important to you, and start creating a more authentic and fulfilling life.

In practice, I value using a person-centered, trauma informed approach to therapy with emphasis on fostering a sound therapeutic relationship with clients. I also believes in creating a safe and non-judgmental environment in collaboration with the client to navigate through their journey to healing. Using a multi-faceted approach to counselling I draw upon theories such as Solution-focused, Mindfulness techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-based approaches. My goal in counselling is to provide an empathetic and meaningful connection to build upon positive therapeutic outcomes.

What if you could wake up tomorrow and feel like YOU were in control; not anxiety, depression, trauma, or whatever else is dominating your life right now? What if you could improve your relationships with your kids, your partner, your boss, your family, your friends? What if you could finally build up the courage to tell someone "no" and really mean it this time? What if you could stop asking yourself "what if" and start making things a realty?

I am passionate about working with adult clients who seek to heal from C-PTSD and trauma-related issues. My ideal client values a compassionate and supportive environment where their story and development are at the forefront of the therapeutic process. I integrate IFS, EMDR, and trauma-informed techniques with a focus on attachment, stress, and developmental trauma.

You have a big inner world right now that no one in your life has the capacity to fully understand much less than help you through. What you sense and pick-up from your outer world may also cause stress and overwhelm. You may not even know what it really is, or where it stems from beyond surface stuff. It’s a dilemma. One that is often internalized with confusion and doubt until one day the discomfort moves to a new level. Maybe that day is today... you’re getting ready, building courage to ask for help. Navigating the journey forward requires space, recognization, understanding and skill… and I'm here as your Seasoned Guide. - M.

The focus of my practice is to treat people who have emotional dysregulation - stress! This can be due to a mood or personality disorder, chronic pain, trauma or complex trauma, military service, or a major life transition. I use practical, evidence based therapies such as DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Clinical Hypnosis, and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) to help you fulfill your goals, getting back to living a meaningful, peaceful, productive life. One focus of my practice is treating current military members and veterans.

Life has its ups and downs. Often we can find ways to cope, and even grow, riding out those waves. But most of us also have times when it all just seems too much; we cannot see a clear path ahead.

My aim, in the time we spend together, is to help you discover and reconnect with your inner resources, as well as gain some new tools and create a viable plan to help you move from simply surviving to thriving.
