I would like to acknowledge and honour your consideration to reach out for support. It is not always easy and can feel vulnerable. As Maya Angelou said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” You are the expert of your life, however most of us need extra support to cope with the challenges that can arise in our daily lives. In today’s climate you may be feeling exhausted and access to the usual resources may be limited. This can be a lonely feeling and may be described as trauma – anything that you lack the resources to get through.

Lets face it, the path to becoming a new parent can be stressful, unfamiliar, and scary. There's very little that can prepare you for the real-life challenges of postpartum and the profound transformation of one's identity.

I am here to help mama's and mama's to be through the ups and downs of infertility, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, birth trauma and all things post partum.

Productive psychotherapy occurs within the context of a positive therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client, so often times the first one or two sessions are focused on a consultation to review the client’s concerns and for us to see if we are a good fit to work together. During this time, I will make recommendations for a treatment plan and will ask for the client’s feedback.

Stuck, riding the struggle bus, and going through the motions sounds about right. You’ve read the self-help books, listened to the podcasts, and you’ve talked to your best friend Joe. And it still isn’t cutting it. The healing you need is deep and you’re not sure how to get there. That’s fair. And that’s where therapy and counselling come into the mix. You don’t have to figure all of this out on your own, scrolling social media, or with meditations and deep breathing (even though, those are great too). You deserve some serious relief and I can help you get there.

My approach to counselling is informed by my own journey through anxiety, childhood trauma, and chronic pain. After years of debilitating pain, I became educated about how trauma becomes stored in the body, contributing to illness and psychological distress. A variety of emotional, cognitive, and somatic exercises focused at regulating the nervous system, rewiring the brain, and stopping physical symptoms allowed me to find freedom from chronic pain. I now dedicate my career to supporting and empowering clients on their individual paths to healing.
