Hi, I’m Joleen (she/her), a counselling therapist based in Kjipuktuk, Mi’kma’ki (Halifax, Nova Scotia). My approach is rooted in affirmation, trauma-informed care, and anti-oppression, offering a space where your full identity is honoured and supported. I specialize in working with the queer community and individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relational challenges, and life transitions.

I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support clients in exploring their inner world, healing, and nurturing self-compassion. I also integrate Emotion-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Somatic Therapy, and Attachment-Focused Therapy to help individuals and couples deepen self-awareness, process emotions, and create meaningful change. For couples, I draw on Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy and Imago Relational Therapy to strengthen connection, improve communication, and repair relational wounds.

I’m committed to offering a warm, inclusive, and supportive space where you are seen, heard, and respected just as you are.
