Hello, I'm Emma! I work with new parents and parents-to-be of all genders and sexualities. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by new responsibilities, experiencing shifts in your relationships, or struggling to find your identity amidst these changes, I am here to support you. As a former midwife & lactation consultant, I bring an in-depth understanding of the unique needs & challenges that individuals face during their pregnancy & postpartum journeys. As a mother myself, I understand the demands of motherhood & the untethering that can happen as we adjust to new identities, new roles, & new relationships.
With compassion & understanding, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to listen to your story & help you reconnect with what truly matters in your life. Whether you are experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety, are struggling after a pregnancy loss or traumatic birth experience, or you are feeling like a stranger to yourself, I am here for you.
I understand that life can be challenging, especially when you have a new baby or are struggling after a pregnancy loss. That's why I offer virtual therapy sessions to support you through any issues you may be facing from the comfort of your own home. I also provide in-home visits to those living in the Barrie, ON area for the first 12 weeks postpartum.

I offer support for individuals of all genders navigating the emotional challenges associated with their fertility journey, pregnancy, and the postpartum period. Additionally, I work with clients who are experiencing a profound sense of disconnection from their sense of self, often exacerbated by the demands and transitions related to reproductive and parenting experiences.
