We are pleased to announce that RJ, PsyD (they/them), will be joining the Breathe Mindfulness Centre team in November 2025 as they transition to permanently settling in Nova Scotia.
RJ is a compassionate and multi-passionate clinician who provides therapy and comprehensive psychological assessments services for adults, with a special focus on ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). They recently completed their PsyD in Clinical Psychology and will be joining the Breathe Mindfulness Centre team as they transition to permanently living in Nova Scotia after finishing their postdoctoral fellowship in the United States.
RJ brings experience from a wide range of clinical environments, including outpatient hospital care, community mental health, integrated care, neuropsychological testing, and college counseling settings. Most recently, they supported the needs of a diverse population of over 30,000 students at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Their clinical work is guided by values of inclusivity, trauma-sensitive care, collaboration, and equity, with a passion for creating socially just and accessible mental health services.
Alongside their clinical work, RJ has been recognized for their leadership and dedication to compassion in action, including being chosen as the Student Speaker for Antioch University’s 2025 Commencement Ceremony. Their professional interests include gamifying therapeutic interventions, supporting sexual safety, and researching trans identity development.
RJ is delighted to return to Nova Scotia, where they previously completed a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology at Acadia University, and is inspired to once again be part of the vibrant and caring Annapolis Valley community. At Breathe, RJ looks forward to supporting clients with warmth, authenticity, and a commitment to empowerment and holistic well-being.
