Melanie is a Registered Counselling Therapist - Candidate with the Nova Scotia College of Counselling Therapists. She provides counselling to adults and couples, supporting clients as they navigate anxiety, stress, grief, life transitions, and emotional regulation. She works with individuals through transitions such as parenting, divorce, midlife changes, and menopause. In her work with couples, she supports communication, connection, and navigating significant changes or transitions together.

Her approach is integrative and strengths-based, drawing from evidence-informed approaches including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Existential Therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and trauma-informed practice. She also incorporates self-compassion, somatic work, nervous-system regulation, and, when meaningful to the client, nature, art, and spirituality.

“I believe we are the experts of our own lives. My role as a therapist is to walk alongside you, offering support and perspective while helping you discover the strength and wisdom that already exists within you.”
