Hi, I'm Fiona. I started working in the mental health field over 24 years ago, first on the Crisis Lines and at various non-profit agencies, and later for the local health authorities. I've now been in private practice for over 15 years. I believe in the transformative power of connection and companionship through life's most challenging moments. Whether you're navigating grief, processing trauma, or seeking support through loss, my approach is rooted in compassion, evidence-based practices, and the understanding that healing is a journey we take together. I create a safe, no
Of particular significance in my practice is Pregnancy and Infant Loss, Infertility and Fertility Challenges, Miscarriage, Traumatic Birth Experiences, Loss of a Child PCOS and Hormonal Mood Disorders, Mood Instability during Pre, Perinatal, and Postpartum Periods, and Reproductive Trauma and its lasting effects.
Using both cognitive (CBT) and somatic-centred practices, our work focuses on learning strategies to respond differently to stress and discomfort, Rooted in attachment, neuroscience, affect regulation, embodiment research and the wisdom of the natural world, this approach translates into treatment across many challenges.Reach out today for your free consult.

I specialize in pregnancy and infant loss, infertility, traumatic birth experiences, perinatal mental health, chronic illness, and bereavement. I use evidence-based practices like CBT, somatic and attachment-based therapies, and follow a companioning approach to grief work. Clients often feel more emotionally regulated, less alone and better able to live meaningfully alongside their grief.

I use a variety of modalities in my practice, predominantly CBT and Somatic Psychotherapy. In our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to identify and manage intense thoughts, feelings, and sensations, so you can respond to stress differently and cope more effectively.
