You don’t have to keep white-knuckling your way through this alone. I support individuals and couples navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, infertility, fertility treatments (IUI/IVF), miscarriage, stillbirth, pregnancy, and the emotional complexities of the postpartum period and parenting. Your quality of life matters! Together, we'll work on building coping strategies, processing grief and uncertainty, strengthening communication, and restoring a sense of stability and meaning to your life.
I bring empathy, warmth, a wealth of knowledge, and sometimes humour to our sessions. The goal? To empower you and improve your overall quality of life through a mix of talk therapy and tailored interventions. I use a mix of therapeutic approaches like EFT, IFS, CFT, ACT, and EMDR (yes, all the acronyms!) to ensure our sessions truly help you.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, but you've already taken a significant step forward by even considering it. I offer a free consultation to get us started - bring any and all questions! I'm looking forward to meeting you and embarking on this healing journey together!
