I consider it a privilege to support people navigating through challenges in life. Are you a young adult struggling with the transition to independence? Are you a parent of a youth wondering how to best support your child in this process? Or are you a person/couple struggling through your journey with infertility? If so, I have over 20 years experience counselling emerging adults, their parents and those trying to grow their families. I also provide counselling to individuals and couples using donor conception to start/grow their families and will provide reports to their respective fertility clinics as needed.

I am a trained trauma therapist, specialized in childhood attachment trauma as well as infertility and women's health including miscarriage, traumatic pregnancy & birth.
Have you ever wondered why, despite all your efforts, some emotional problems or conflicts fail to heal? I believe dysregulation is at the heart of the problem. Crying uncontrollably, racing thoughts or spacing out, flying into rage or shutting down, are all examples of dysregulation. If you've tried therapy before but you're still struggling, it's likely that traditional therapy like CBT, which does not effectively address the nervous system response to stress, has left you still reacting in these old ways. Sensorimotor somatic psychotherapy works directly with the nervous system to down regulate anxiety and upregulate depression.

I spent years in infertility treatment, experienced losses, and chose single parenthood myself, I am uniquely equipped to offer support a place to put down your burden.
Are you finding the early days of parenthood more challenging than you could have anticipated? Maybe you're navigating the challenges of infertility or dealing with the heartbreak of pregnancy loss? Or are you yearning to become a parent and considering or starting the journey toward single parenthood? None of these are easy places to be. Since these topics are often stigmatised it can be hard to know where to look for support. My training and experience are tailored to help you feel seen and supported as you work through grief, anxiety, and overwhelm and any other experience or emotion that's arising for you.

I help couples overcome conflict to create strong and harmonious relationships. As a Certified Gottman Therapist, I help couples quiet the conflict in their relationship. What were once heart-breaking conversations the couple did not know how to fix, turn into dialogue around making the relationship better, repairing old hurts, and deepening emotional connection. Whether the conflict stems from poor communication and emotional distance, to trauma, affairs, infertility, or substance use problems, the evidence based treatments can help couples communicate openly and find solutions, or decide it is time to move on.

Becoming a mother brings many emotional challenges. Most moms feel lost and alone at some point. Being a mom myself, I understand the struggles many mothers go through. Many mothers miss the early signs of depression because they think those are signs of pregnancy-related hormonal changes. These symptoms may be more than depression and sadness and have a negative impact on mom’s everyday functioning. As well, I specialize in helping those who have suffered the loss of a baby at any stage of pregnancy or at birth. Miscarriage is not mourned publicly, and there are tools that help deal with this grief.

Infertility Counsellors
How can infertility affect couples and their relationship?
Clients who are dealing with infertility may experience conflict and communication problems. It’s not unusual for shame, blame, and guilt to arise in cases of infertility, whether the source of the problem is one partner or both. This means that clients are upset and pulling away from their partner just when they need them the most. Some clients may find it difficult to spend time around friends and family who are pregnant. Friends and family can also make hurtful comments that increase tension during this time.
How does therapy for infertility issues work?
The therapist will begin by gathering information about the client or couple and make a treatment plan for their specific concerns. In addition to addressing common mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions or PTSD, therapists can help clients improve their decision-making and deal with stressors unique to infertility. Some examples include coping with the “two-week wait” before a pregnancy test, the distress associated with a failed attempt or miscarriage, and the shame and blame sometimes associated with reproductive concerns.
What type of therapy is best for infertility issues?
Many therapists offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are dealing with infertility issues. Some helpful therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which can aid clients in reframing negative thoughts about their situation. Expressive writing and art therapy can help clients process difficult feelings. Clients might also benefit from group therapy to experience support from others who are dealing with the same problems.
How long does therapy for infertility issues take?
There is no set length for therapy that addresses infertility or reproductive concerns. Some clients might find it helpful to continue therapy during their pregnancy to have healthy ways to cope with any associated stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some clients who decide not to pursue fertility treatments might benefit from the support of a therapist. The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual client’s specific needs and goals.
