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 completed my Masters and PhD in Clinical Psychology from UBC, a health psychology clinical internship at the London Clinical Psychology Residency Consortium, postdoctoral internship at the Odette Cancer Centre, and Perinatal Mental Health certification from Postpartum Support International (PSI).
I feel honoured that my job is to help parents and aspiring parents. I am a registered Clinical and Health Psychologist and the co-founder of The Well Parents Centre. I offer individual therapy and couples therapy, with a specific focus on infertility, loss, pregnancy, postpartum, and the early years of parenting. Some of the issues we work on include improving mood, anxiety, adjustment, and relationships. My therapeutic approach is most often Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and can be described as non-judgemental, practical, and often humorous. Please note that I am currently offering a sliding scale for lgbtqia2s+ couples.

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.

Trauma subspecialties include: religious, perinatal, and complex trauma.
With gentleness, curiosity, and humour, I'll help you seek joy. We seek help to learn about the most difficult and mysterious parts of ourselves, but shedding light there can be surprising. Wonder and creativity build; you find a new sense of possibility and self-compassion. Over 15 years, I've walked with people at all ages and stages: facing mental illness or trauma, dealing with infertility or baby loss, embracing queer identity, wrestling with spirituality, living with disability. I work with creativity and flexibility, and I encourage my clients to draw on imagination and deep reflection as they heal.

While training at Women’s College Hospital, I assisted parents dealing with infertility, labor and delivery experiences, pregnancy planning, and postpartum adjustments.
Audre Lorde said, “Our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge.” Therapy can feel like a first step with no destination in sight. Your emotions are deep pathways to understanding yourself from childhood to adulthood, and I help connect them. I am experienced in advocating for Black people and families as they navigate systems with histories of anti-Black racism and oppression. I work with adults on various concerns, including challenging family dynamics, relationship issues, chronic stress, grief, and depression. I provide emotion-focused care, with an emphasis on perinatal concerns and Black individuals.

My approach is based in evidence and strength based practice, while focusing on you and where you are in your journey. We will work together to create a safe and empowering environment. You will receive support in gaining insight, developing coping mechanisms and strategies and strengthening the foundation of your authentic self through methods such as CBT, EFT, Attachment & Trauma Approaches.

We know that postpartum doesn’t end after a year.
Society sets us up to believe that parenthood will come naturally and be a simple and easy transition that “we were built for.” But parenthood can be turbulent and not anything like you expected - full of so many new layers of stress, anxiety, and interpersonal challenges that you never could have seen coming. And even if you’re years into family life, you know that somehow the stress keeps piling up and it feels impossible to hold it all.

With specialized training in trauma focussed therapies and perinatal mental health, I am equipped to support you through the challenges you are facing.
Trauma can profoundly alter how we view ourselves, others, and the world. You might feel guilty, ashamed or overwhelmed thinking of your past experiences. It’s common to find it hard to trust others and to feel anxious about the safety of the world around you. You may be grappling with your identity, feeling disconnected from yourself, or overwhelmed by emotions. Despite the challenges you encounter, my goal is to ensure you feel not only supported but truly understood, acknowledged, and empowered.
