Andrea's aim in Universal Consciousness Psychotherapy and Wellness(UCPW) services is to create a place where you can feel supported and heard while you talk through the experiences that contribute to your current challenges and while you both collaborate to find a path so you may reconnect with yourself and those around you in ways that will allow you to bring serenity into your life.

I am a Registered Psychologist with over 17 years of experience working for the Halifax Regional Centre for Education (HRCE) and in private practice. I hold both an M.A. (School Psychology; 2003) and M.Ed. (Special Education; 2008). Being child-focused, I utilize my assessment, counselling and consultation skills (i.e., advocacy; behaviour, etc.) to uncover and support my clients’ needs. My diagnostic assessment of learning disabilities, intellectual delays, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and autism pre-screening are comprehensive and detailed. I feel passionate about working collaboratively with children and families. I take pride in helping clients understand their own strengths and challenges in order to develop evidence-based, practical strategies for both home and school. My therapeutic approach is client-focused and integrative but grounded in cognitive-behavioral theory and mindfulness. I work beside children struggling with anxiety, low mood, social skills, emotional regulation and other difficulties.

I have a growth-oriented practice offering IFS (Internal Family Systems) and RLT (Relational Life Therapy) to individuals and couples. I am on the certification paths of IFS and RLT and have very good results with both individuals and couples. I offer in-person and virtual sessions.

I offer emotional and psychological support to clients facing a life altering diagnosis, managing a chronic condition or negotiating a life transition. I support clients experiencing anxiety, grief, and stress using multiple therapeutic interventions including hypnotherapy. Therapy is delivered with modalities including in person, tele counselling, and video counselling.

You may be someone who has experience with some of the tougher stuff in life- sadness, worry, repetitive thoughts, and experiences that are hard to talk about like numbness, isolation, violence and trauma. You are someone who is curious to dig deeper to learn more about these life events and how they are impacting your life now. You are ready now to move through and beyond the difficulty into something that feels more like the real you. I’m trained to work creatively with folks who are in the midst of life’s challenges to cope with and process these feelings. I have training in working with trauma, survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, and regularly work with clients experiencing anxiety and depression. I can offer creative ways to grow with these experiences using the arts. Perhaps traditional talk therapy has not been effective for you, or perhaps you are looking for a different way to express your challenges. My approach to therapy can help open up possibilities and new pathways. I invite you to reach out to me- I hear you.

Are you struggling and not sure where to start? You may want help with addictions or mental health, your own sexual or violent behaviour or healing from past harms. Maybe you are another professional with a history that intersects with your work. You could be looking for help with your existing family or intimate relationships, job stress, or something else that affects your wellness. I offer a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your needs in advance of your first session. Services are offered by telephone or video at a rate of $160.00/hour. Insurance companies often cover these fees. We can find a safe space to talk about what is bothering you. I work primarily in trauma, sexual violence, and intimate partner violence. I also work with people with more general needs (addictions, mental health, anger, stress, sex, attachment, and relationships). Let's help you be free of past hurt and work through present challenges. We make time for whatever you are dealing with in each session. Therapy is semi-structured to allow us flexibility. It is most important to me that you get to discuss what you need to at the time. In our first session, we cover some basic background and set some priorities for counselling. Reach out to talk to someone who is ready to listen and help.

I am a Clinical Psychologist in Halifax, Nova Scotia and I am the owner of Green Leaf Psychological Services. ​I am comfortable offering therapy for a wide range of personal difficulties and have particular interests in helping clients overcome issues related to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, video game addiction, anger, shyness and social anxiety, abusive relationships, assertiveness, grief, breakups and divorce, panic attacks, and perfectionism. During my career (so far) I have worked in hospitals, forensic settings, psychiatric institutions, community services, universities, counselling centres, and private clinics. I completed my undergraduate degree in psychology at Dalhousie University, my Masters and PhD. degrees in clinical psychology at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, and my Doctoral Internship at The University of Manitoba. I also provide assessments for Learning Disorders, Child ADHD, Adult ADHD, Dyslexia, IQ, Giftedness, and Academic issues. I take great pride in every assessment I offer, do everything possible to make sure that it is a relaxed and enjoyable experience (especially for child assessments), and will personally sit down to discuss the results and answer all questions when the final report is complete. ​Assessments can be a significant investment of your time and energy. But, they can also answer questions that you have wondered about for many years - and can provide direction and guidance to significantly improve the quality of your life (or the life of your child). This is a responsibility I take very seriously and my goal is to always exceed your expectations for an assessment. Questions? Please send me an email - I personally respond to every inquiry I get!
