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.
