Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Edmonton, AB

Please call to be added to the waitlist- I aim to to provide a space where I sit with, support, and at times, 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).

We can support you in enjoying the newborn days and navigating the rollercoaster of early parenthood.

I am a Registered Psychologist and have been supporting children, teens and adults in a few positions over 15 years. With this experience, I have grown a love of supporting clients that have experienced perinatal grief and mood disorders and parenting struggles/transitions, in addition to other concerns such as grief, relationship issues, and depression, anxiety and stress. My clients can expect empathy with a dose of practicality, humour and honesty. My passion is attachment-focused parenting. I understand that parenting is the most important/difficult job out there, it is my honour to help.

I work with individuals, couples and groups who are impacted by grief, loss, depression, anxiety and trauma/PTSD. I strive to work collaboratively with individuals to uncover their strengths, express their feelings and work to adjust to challenging circumstances. I have additional training in perinatal mental health specializing in: infertility, IUI's, IVF, 3rd party consultations for donor, and surrogacy. I also work with individuals that have experienced miscarriage, a baby born still, any medical trauma/any type of birth trauma, PPA/PPD and NICU experiences.

I am passionate about my work and feel it is a privilege to be in this role. I believe in walking alongside my clients and respect that this is their journey and that they are the experts in their lives. I feel that everyone is unique; thus, my counselling approach flexes to meet your individual needs by blending techniques. I believe that it is essential to create a warm, inviting and engaging space for you. One that is trauma-informed creates a sense of safety and security as you work through the challenges that brought you to me.

I am here to listen and here to help you find the solutions you need to 'thrive', not just 'survive'. I value the creation of a comfortable, secure, 'worry-free' environment where people can feel safe in working through their problems without the fear of judgement or being forced to work through issues they are not ready to address yet. I provide assistance that is tailored to your needs, gathering comprehensive information about your difficulties and considering a wide range of treatment techniques. The choice of effective treatment arises out of an honest and open collaboration between you and me.

Perhaps you are hoping to gain greater clarity into your life, have a desire to be more compassionate with yourself, or need a moment to slow down and focus on your healing, growth, and transformation. I can help you get a clearer picture of what is going on, assist you in navigating life challenges, and facilitate the learning of new strategies to become more calm, confident, and resilient. I am a registered psychologist who genuinely cares about your well-being, is relatable and easy to talk to, and am passionate about working towards your goals. I create an atmosphere where clients feel safe, respected, and deeply understood.

Generally, individuals or couples seek counselling when they want some form of change in their lives, either within themselves or in their relationships with others. As a doctoral-level psychologist with over 12 years of counselling experience, I enjoy working with clients at any stage of their change process. My therapeutic style is warm and accepting with my practice being evidence-based, utilizing interventions that that have been well-researched with documented effectiveness. I strive to develop a genuine relationship with clients, recognizing the importance of a supportive therapeutic environment.

Waitlist At This Time- I feel incredibly grateful to be able to sit with clients and support them in some of the hardest times of their lives. I bring a compassionate, calm and accepting energy to every session, ensuring that 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. Our problems of today are often rooted in our hurt from yesterday. Being able to explore our past from a trauma-informed, attachment-focused lens helps us find meaning, connection and hope for the future.

Are you struggling with adjusting to parenthood? Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, worried, angry or depressed? You are not alone.

This often negatively affects sleep, appetite, thoughts, mood and relationships. You can feel better! Together, we can work to identify the challenges you are experiencing and develop goals and strategies to improve your mental health.

Experience has taught me that this is the really hard part for you. You're likely feeling awful in some way. Maybe something in your life has become too much, you're feeling out of control and desperate, or you might be stuck in some way and want ideas on how to move forward. You are browsing therapist profiles and eager for the right support. What qualities and qualifications can you feel confident in? How will you know that it will work and is right for you? What if you're missing out on just the right kind of therapist that will really and truly make a difference for you. It's a lot.
