Life can certainly feel uncertain at times. Are you experiencing some stress or challenges and looking for professional and confidential support? Do you, or your loved ones, struggle with trauma, depression, anxiety or relationship issues? I work with children, youth, adults, couples and families who seek to process trauma, improve feelings of wellbeing, resolve issues and feel connected. Support with calming the body, understanding mental health, practicing strategies, expressing feelings/thoughts and learning about relevant resources can make all the difference, while managing life's ups and downs.

This is not how you imagined your maternity leave. Instead of feeling happy like you’re supposed to, you are anxious and always on the verge of tears. There’s a constant nagging feeling like you’re not good enough for your baby. And let’s not talk about the exhaustion. It scares you to hold your baby, but at the same time you can’t let go. So, you end up holding her during nap times…and never find the time to attend to our own needs. When you look in the mirror, it’s like you are looking at a stranger. It is no longer a matter of doing your best, it’s about surviving this season of life. Or is this how it will be forever?
