Navigating the perinatal period can be both exciting and challenging. During this time, it's common to experience a wide range of emotions and adjustments. From the anticipation of a new arrival to the physical and emotional changes, the perinatal period is a unique and transformative journey. As you prepare to welcome your child, it's important to prioritize your mental well-being. Understanding the psychological aspects of this phase can help in coping with the changes and seeking support when needed. I believe in building a lasting connection with a therapist to support you through this life-changing process.

Life is truly filled with so many layers (just like an onion!) which can make it hard to know where to start when it comes to counselling. Hi, I'm Julie (she/her) and I deeply believe in the beauty of connection. My own journey with mental health and being neurodivergent has truly inspired my passion for this field. I work with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, chronic pain, ADHD/ASD, self-esteem, and couples counselling. I am also deeply passionate about working with 2slgbtqia+ individuals and the queer community.

Sometimes life can have us feeling bogged down in the same negative patterns, feeling blocked or disconnected from our own sense of contentment, strength and joy. Often we walk the path of life, thinking we are making progress, only to find we have circled back to the same struggles. When we find ourselves in this place it can be wise to reach out for help. I see therapy as a place to uncover the roots of what is feeding our present concerns and to heal these roots in order to make positive lasting changes.

Have you ever found yourself wondering, "How did I get here?" Life can sometimes feel overwhelming—whether you’re a new parent, a trauma survivor, or simply trying to navigate the complexities of existence. It’s easy to feel like things shouldn’t be this difficult. Perhaps your experience of parenthood isn’t what you envisioned, leaving you with a swirl of conflicting emotions as you balance this new role with all the other aspects of your identity. Maybe past challenges are surfacing in unexpected ways, or you’re struggling to pinpoint your feelings but know something feels off and you want to feel better.
