I'm a Licensed Counselling Therapist-Candidate with the College of Counselling Therapists of New Brunswick. I started Luna Counselling & Wellness in the spring of 2022, when I was a few months postpartum with my twins. I have a passion for empowering and helping women and mothers through the various stages of their lives and healing journeys.  I consider myself an integrative therapist, going with the flow of what my client needs in any given session, using strategies and ideologies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and more. Most recently, I have been training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, and studying Polyvagal Theory. I pride myself on being authentic and relatable with my clients. I've yet to meet a client I didn't have something in common with, and I will take every opportunity to bond over our mutual interests and life experience. I won't hesitate to share some of myself with you when I think it will benefit you to know that I relate and understand. The relationship built between you and your therapist is responsible for about 80% of your success in therapy - the rest doesn't matter if I don't show up authentically. I graduated from Yorkville University in 2018 with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. I completed this degree online, along with my on-site practicum, all while maintaining my full-time career in Domestic Violence Outreach and being a single mother to a toddler. Since then, I became a mother of three when I had twins in 2021. Through this experience, I developed a deep appreciation for Perinatal Mental Health. I am currently working toward becoming perinatal mental health certified and absolutely love supporting mothers (and mothers-to-be) in a counselling capacity. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I draw on my years of experience in the nonprofit sector, working with victims of domestic violence, to help women navigate and heal from various traumatic experiences. I can direct bill Blue Cross (Medavie, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan), Canada Life, Green Shield, Manulife, ClaimSecure, SSQ, Equitable Life, and Chambers. Most insurance policies will cover by reimbursement, including Canada Life and Sun Life. Please note that Alberta Blue Cross does not cover the Counsellor title. I am licensed to practice in New Brunswick and can see clients in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
