On the surface it looks like you have it all together, but most days it feels like more is expected of you than is humanly possible. I work with women balancing careers, pregnancy and parenting, and the invisible mental load of running a household. Many are navigating birth trauma or anxiety, a maternity leave that didn’t meet expectations, perfectionism and people pleasing, or a relationship that feels different after children. About 1 in 4 mothers experience a mood disorder, and 2 in 3 couples report lower relationship satisfaction after becoming parents. If motherhood feels harder than you imagined, you’re not alone.
With over a decade of experience and a master’s degree in clinical social work, I offer both individual and couples therapy. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside Dialectical Behaviour Therapy in individual sessions and the Gottman Method for couple's counselling.
Whether it’s working through birth fear or trauma, or adjusting to life and relationships postpartum, I’d be honoured to hear your story and walk alongside you. All sessions are virtual (by video or phone) to reduce barriers like childcare and travel time. Outside of session, you can find me navigating my own motherhood journey or teaching at the university.
