The hardest step but the most impactful is reaching out for support. Take a moment to be proud of yourself for prioritizing your health and wellness. As a social worker with over ten years working within the field of mental health, it's hard to ignore the one commonality- Trauma. Whether this is uncovered yet or not, everyone has a story, and sometimes those unprocessed memories or emotions have a way of getting stuck which can shape the way we currently cope. My areas of expertise are mental health, self-worth, grief/loss, compassion fatigue and overall trauma.

We all have times when we feel weighed down by our thoughts and feelings and this can often keep us from connecting with others or creating boundaries that we know are important. You might feel like you are stuck, but there is hope and you are not alone. In our work together, you will learn strategies to change the relationship you have with your thoughts and feelings. I use a non-judgmental and supportive approach to highlight your existing strengths and support you along your healing journey.

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've experienced those solitary nights, overwhelming days, racing thoughts, and the sensation of no longer recognizing who I am or the life I lead. I've been through it all. 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.

Hi my name is Bridgette. Thank you for viewing my profile. My belief is that everyone has a story, that every story matters and that when we are in pain our story must be heard. When we are suffering and feel we are alone or unheard, it can result in feelings of hopelessness, inferiority and diminish our self esteem. It can impact our ability to cope with the demands of life, our ability to feel whole, to feel safe and can drain our physical and emotional energy. Therapy can help us move beyond this state. It is possible to find yourself...

Sometimes, the things that have happened in our past can affect our daily lives significantly. Trauma can make people feel as if their past defines who they are and that it will always have a grip on them. Although traumatic events can cause lasting effects, there are ways to regain control over your life if you have experienced trauma or developed PTSD. As an EMDR clinician, I use an evidence-based approach to help you become 'unstuck'. Seeking trauma therapy requires immense courage. I understand how difficult it can be to discuss trauma, which is why I provide a calm, non-judgemental space for you to begin the healing process.
