I have attended perinatal mental health training and currently enrolled in a grief and bereavement perinatal certificate program.
Sometimes when we are caught in one of life's toughest moments, we seek support. That support can look like how to process a situation, validation, a listening ear, problem solving, and so forth. Therapy can be many things or it can be one. I offer a client - centred approach with empathy. If you are looking for someone you can relate to, I am a parent to young children, I have experienced PPA/D, loss, abandonment, unhealthy relationships, and more. If you are interested in working together but still not sure, we can have a 15-20 minute chat to help you with that decision.

I specialize in perinatal & postpartum support and offer Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, families, and parents at all stages.
New parenthood is such a tender time for couples. Whether you are trying to start a family, are a first time parent or a parent now managing more than one young child, you can find yourself depleted, overwhelmed, and experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions along with guilt at how that might be impacting your children. If you are managing a new baby with other young children, you may find that your older children are acting out at a time when you are sleep deprived and struggling to stay patient. Perhaps you and your partner hardly have time to connect and you feel distance or disconnected.

I create a friendly and nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their emotions, fears, and concerns about pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.
“Everyone wants to hold the new baby. Who holds the mom?” Motherhood is the ultimate personal development experience, but it can be a lonely one. Whether you are preparing for motherhood, struggling to conceive, feeling scared or unsupported in your pregnancy, experiencing birth trauma, or suffering with feelings of depression or anxiety as a new parent, mental health in the perinatal journey is just as important as physical health and recovery.

I have experience supporting through infertility and pregnancy loss, deep grief, and recovery from trauma, particularly emotional neglect and abuse.

I'm passionate about supporting women dealing with menstrual issues like PMDD, PME, severe PMS, and perimenopause, and those navigating through the emotional challenges of miscarriage.
My clients often face overwhelming emotions, feelings of neglect, isolation, and anxiety. They may feel drained and seek a secure, welcoming space to express themselves. In our sessions, we explore therapeutic methods designed to build connections and empathy, cultivate kindness and self-compassion, and create coping and personal growth strategies. Many of my clients also deal with PMDD, PME, or severe PMS, ADHD (often diagnosed later in life), and the associated anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation that often accompanies these conditions. I provide ADHD coaching and therapy to those who need help in this area.

Trauma lives in our bodies whether we recognize it or not. Although we might not know exactly what or how we are feeling, our bodies keep track. We’ve witnessed and experienced many things that have shaped us and how we perceive the world around us. As your therapist, I will hold a safe and confidential space for you to open up and unpack the trauma that is stored in your mind, body, and soul. As a first-generation Tamil Canadian, I recognize the impacts of intergenerational and racial trauma and how it affects the way we navigate different spaces and various relationships.

I notice your strength, courage, and tenacity, and wisdom, which you may take for grant.

As a psychotherapist, I believe that each individual's journey is unique, and so should be the approach to healing and growth. I focus on fostering deep, authentic connections in therapy and creating a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. In addition to providing traditional talk therapy, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) into my work, a highly researched, evidence-based approach that the World Health Organization has deemed the top treatment for trauma.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviours. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
