I am a registered clinical psychologist with extensive experience working with adults ages 19 years and older. I have had the privilege of working in many different settings, including hospital, community mental health, school, university and private practice. My goal is to ensure a safe, compassionate, and collaborative therapeutic relationship. I believe that such a relationship facilitates healing and meaningful growth, as clients explore ways to cope and deal with life's challenges.The process of therapy fosters a safe environment that allows individuals to have the courage to be vulnerable, to become more self-aware, and to maintain a healing frame of mind. My philosophy of working with people includes integrating contemplative, humanistic and empirically-based approaches with the goal of providing the most professional, respectful, individualized care for people with whom I work.
At Hayden Psychology Services we aim to provide comprehensive services and coordinated care for your family. We are interested in your child’s strengths and talents and appreciate that your child is more than a label, specific behaviour, or academic difficulty. Each child has unique and wonderful strengths that can be used to support challenges they may face. Our goal is to help children reach their potential through comprehensive assessment, intervention, consultation, and advocacy. We welcome the privilege of working with your family at one of our two clinic locations: 195 Foord St. Stellarton and 64 Queen Street Truro NS.
