I offer compassionate, inclusive and accessible psychotherapy options to clients in Ottawa and all across Ontario. I work with clients who are experiencing challenges or loss in their life related to their reproductive or perinatal story. I work with clients at any point in their journey (infertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum or long after) and can create flexible care plans to suit a client’s comfort and needs.
My areas of speciality include perinatal medical complexity, high risk pregnancy/birth, perinatal loss/grief, perinatal anxiety, perinatal depression, birth trauma and transitions in parenthood. Therapy and counselling sessions are offered by telephone, virtually, in-home and outdoors (ecotherapy).
If you are finding your days challenging and could use support, please reach out to see how I can help you. It would be an honour to work with you and help you on your journey.
