My journey to this calling was gradual and almost natural – I have always had a longing to help others. Beginning the healing process can be challenging but I would be honoured to be a part of the process. I strive to create a warm and safe environment through empathy, respect, and compassion. A space where you can be your authentic self. I come from a non-judgemental stance and acknowledge that you are the expert of your own experience. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Mount Allison University and completed my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) degree at Yorkville University.

I am passionate about diversity and decreasing the barriers of accessing mental healthcare for marginalized groups. I use an eclectic approach with my clients – Person-centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, and Compassion Focused Therapy to name a few.

Collaboratively, we can develop a therapeutic plan that best suits your needs. I have experience with family systems, PTSD, depression, anxiety, stress management, spirituality, trauma, issues with self-worth/esteem, and neurodivergence. I invite you to take the reins and begin your journey to healing…

I always knew that I wanted to help people. For me, this looks like helping people to explore their lives through a therapeutic relationship.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology as well as a Master of Social Work degree with a clinical focus. I have 5 years of professional experience working with individuals presenting with a variety of struggles including but not limited to depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, relationship troubles, and life stress.

I will work with you to determine a course of therapy that will fit your needs. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness to name a few. That being said, you as the client are in the driver’s seat. I may offer directions, but you are the one behind the wheel. You get to choose what works and what doesn’t work for you. You get to be the person making the change in your life. It is my privilege to witness your growth and facilitate your learning using what is in my tool box.

When I’m not wearing my Social Worker hat, I am a full-time mom, nature enthusiast, hobby baker, and reader.

From a young age I had an unquenchable desire to make sense of the human experience. This curiosity was paired with a natural ability to be present to others despite the intensity of their experience. Over the years, life has shaped, prepared, and equipped me to take on this humbling role. This has meant having practical experience as well as further education. I have a Bachelor of Arts with Honours from the University of New Brunswick with additional psychology courses from St-Thomas University. I am a student member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I am currently in the process on completing a Masters in Counselling Psychology and look forward to supporting you in your wellness journey. I take a trauma-informed, person-centered approach to therapy and have a particular interest in embodied awareness. Together we will decide on the best course of therapy for your needs as you teach me more about yourself. I can utilize tools from CBT, SFT, Psychodynamic, Narrative Therapy, Experiential modalities, and somatic therapies to name a few. I’m also a fellow human who enjoys spending time with family, gardening, flowers, strength training, biking, the great outdoors, travelling, reading, writing, cooking, and so much more. Je suis aussi francophone et ça me fera un plaisir de travailler avec vous dans la langue de votre choix.

It goes without saying that I love being a Mental Health Nurse in Counselling Therapy. My compassion for being a professional helper is reflected in my Nursing and Education undergraduate degrees. As I worked with people, my interest in wanting deeper connections with others grew and I became increasingly curious about how a person’s life experiences impacted their health and well-being. I wanted to learn more about how I could help people in this way, so I went on to obtain my Masters in Education in Counselling. I now have more than 7 years of formal training, and 12 years of experience as a professional helper.

No two clients are the same, so in order to create a safe and trusting healing space for you I will use a variety of evidence-based therapeutic models such as: Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Cognitive Therapies (CTs), to name a few. My approach is non-judgmental, because I use compassion and curiosity to get to know you and I’m genuinely interested in learning how you experience life. Although, most of my experience is in stress-related injuries (e.g. PTSD, Compassion Fatigue, Complex Trauma, Vicarious Trauma, etc.), I also help people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-confidence, relationship issues, chronic pain, grief, and loss. Basically, I am open to working with people from all walks of life. We will work together to help you gain more clarity of your emotional pain or struggle by getting to know the different parts of who you are. My counselling style aligns well with IFS, because it is nonpathological in nature. Meaning, I don’t see you as broken or weak, but rather I see you as a person who is struggling or perhaps as someone who has lost their way. My therapeutic approach will not only help you manage stress and increase your capacity to cope, but I will also help you heal from your emotional pain and suffering. It may not always be easy to do this, but you don’t have to do it alone. I can help. It is a privilege to hold compassionate and non-judgmental healing space for others. It’s an honor to help people gain a deeper understanding of their inner self, so that they can heal, find balance, and inner peace. It is a gift that this is my work, because it is my way of being and this is what I do for others – I help them heal and grow.

I’m a Registered Nurse licensed with the Nurses Association of New Brunswick and a Licensed Counselling Therapist with the College of Licensed Counselling Therapists of New Brunswick and received my education at the University of New Brunswick. I have training and experience in education, trauma-related injuries, suicide intervention and prevention, anxiety, depression, grief, population health, chronic and acute illness, positive psychology, and holistic health approaches to wellness. I have a keen interest in evidence-based practices such as: Internal Family Systems therapy, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Cognitive-Based therapies, Narrative therapy, Eco-Wellness, and psycho-spiritually-based therapies. If you were to ask someone who knows me to describe me using one word, they would most likely say “Earthy”, hence the name of my practice Marcescence Counselling.
