I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor with specialized training in perinatal mental health.
Are you journeying through early parenthood? Whether you are expecting a child, or are already in the throws of parenthood, this journey can be exhausting. Anxious thoughts and depressive moods can be overwhelming. You may notice intrusive thoughts – thoughts that just seem to pop out of nowhere, and are quite scary. As if that’s not enough, you’re experiencing mom/dad-guilt. You can’t seem to let go of the thought that you aren’t good enough as a partner or a parent. Parenthood isn’t what you imagined it would be, and you feel disillusioned. You want help, but you aren't sure where to start.

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.
