With compassion and warmth, I support my clients in their process of healing, breaking cycles and building a healthier sense of self. Folks find their way to me when feeling anxious or lost, and who would benefit from a steady guide to process difficult like events. Most specifically, I provide specialized support in navigating pregnancy and infant loss, and maternal perinatal/ postpartum mental health, so mamas can feel more like themselves during or after incredibly challenging circumstances. I also have experience reducing symptoms of anxiety, especially when it presents similarly to OCD.

Let me be a part of your perinatal journey through trying to conceive to parenting for kids, being a parent is the most important and most difficult job that exists.
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.

As a former physician, I have often been captivated by the complexities of human behaviour and the underlying mechanisms driving our actions and emotions. While I found medicine to be immensely rewarding, it was the psychological aspects of patient care that truly resonated with me. I became increasingly fascinated by the intricate connections between mind and body, and I recognized how addressing mental health issues could greatly enhance overall well-being. This realization led me to pursue a new direction: exploring the profound impact of mental health on our lives and supporting those struggling within this area.

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.
