Accepting new clients! My name is Allison and I have been a clinical social worker for over 20 years. I specialize in psychotherapy focused on women's mental health issues related to pregnancy and postpartum e.g. anxiety and depression, fertility, miscarriages/infant loss, birth trauma, and parenting young children. I also support women experiencing symptoms related to perimenopause and menopause and how this transition can impact your mental health, your day to day quality of life, relationships, career and sense of identity. Feel free to email me or check out my website for further information!
I am trained in and draw from a variety of evidence based models of psychotherapy such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Reproductive Trauma Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy. My approach is holistic and trauma informed.
Nest Therapy is an inclusive and safe space where you can explore, heal, and flourish. I believe that the most important contribution to change is through the therapeutic relationship. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to book an appointment.

I work with many clients who are experiencing challenges related to overwhelming change in their lives e.g. identity, relationships, supports, sense of self/identity as well as a variety of reproductive traumas. Learning someone's story, validating their experiences, and going at their pace, helps build trust and comfort so that we can work together on healing, growth and change.

My practice draws from a variety of strength and humanistic based models of therapy. Therapy is a relationship that involves time and trust rather than expecting someone to conform to a specific approach especially when trauma is involved. In working with my clients, I draw from a variety of evidence based models of therapy, many that are trauma based and/or informed (please refer to list).
