I specialise in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and I am educated in treating Perinatal Loss and Maternal Mental Health.
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.

I love working with young adults, as well as supporting individuals through pregnancy, early parenthood and beyond. Becoming a parent is profoundly life-changing. While we anticipate the joys of parenthood, we don't always expect for it to feel this hard. It can bring up intense, sometimes scary or confusing feelings. It can be overwhelming and lonely. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to understand, process and cope with the changes in your life. By talking about your experiences, you can feel less alone and less overwhelmed, and together we can find ways for you to feel more grounded again.

You have had a miscarriage or loss.
The fertility, pregnancy and postpartum journey can be some of the most emotionally challenging times in a person's life. It can activate past hurts and trigger feelings of anxiety or depression. It can bring a huge shift in uncertainty and sense of control. It can shake up our perspective and challenge our relationships. It can disrupt our identity and who we are as a person. But it can also be the most rewarding, fulfilling and joy inducing experience. Regardless of where you are on the rollercoaster ride of the perinatal journey, you don’t have to do it alone. If you or a partner are struggling, I am here to help.
