I work with adults across the lifespan from young adults to seniors addressing issues like depression, anxiety, grief/loss, fertility concerns, life transitions and perinatal mental health.
Life is filled with very few certainties, but we can be certain that life will always change. Sometimes that change is big and explosive, while other times change happens so slowly that we barely notice it. Sometimes we seek that change for ourselves and other times that change can be thrust upon us. However you find yourself in relationship with the notorious thing called change, please know that you are not alone and that you can and will get through this.

My practice tends to focus on supporting first responders, those with trauma histories, or pregnant/ postpartum individuals however, I am open to consulting with you to determine if I am a fit for your current needs.
Waitlist Only - I aim to provide a space where I sit with, support, and guide others to rediscover their most balanced selves. I specifically choose the word balanced because I understand that we cannot strive for things to be successful, or even happy, all of the time. Life will always present challenges, but I work to help my clients find the strength to meet those challenges when they arrive, to cope and find recovery when those challenges knock us down, and to soak up the moments and sense of contentment that exist when the challenges are not present (or at least are less present).

My main areas of focus are trauma, perinatal and postpartum support, family relationships, and neurodivergence.
There are four main areas that can influence how well therapy works: external factors, client’s expectations, techniques or treatments used, and the qualities shared across different types of therapy. Research suggests that qualities such as empathy, warmth, and a strong therapeutic relationship have the greatest influence on outcome.

Areas I am passionate about include: developmental/complex trauma; emotional dysregulation, adult children of alcoholics (ACoA) and adult children of emotionally immature parents; relationship issues (attachment, co-dependency, communication), pregnancy/ postpartum and the transition to parenthood, grief and Indigenous healing and reconciliation.
I feel incredibly grateful to be able to sit with clients and support them in their times of need. I bring a compassionate, calm and accepting energy to every session, ensuring you feel safe and heard. I always welcome the difficult conversations, as I know this is where healing begins. My style of therapy is informal and client-centered, responsive to each person’s unique needs. Being able to explore our past from a trauma-informed, attachment-focused lens helps us find meaning, connection and hope for the future.

What brings people to my practice is often the desire for something more intentional and connected. If something feels off in your relationship or in your life, we can work through it together to help you move forwards.
It's a big step to reach out for support and I know that sometimes it’s not one big thing. It’s the slow build of stress, distance, or feeling unlike yourself. Therapy offers a space to pause, make sense of what’s going on, and start feeling grounded again.

I help individuals navigate pregnancy & postpartum challenges, back-to-school anxiety, post-secondary stress, relationship concerns, people pleasing, and life transitions while reconnecting with themselves in a deeper, more compassionate way.

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.
