Therapists in L9L
You thought this stage would feel different, but instead, you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or not like yourself. Whether you're pregnant or postpartum, you may be navigating anxiety, intrusive thoughts, mood changes, or grief and loss. This could include pregnancy loss, fertility struggles, or the emotional weight of becoming a parent. On the outside, you’re managing, but inside, you feel exhausted or disconnected. I specialize in perinatal mental health, supporting new and expecting parents across Ontario through pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. This is a space where you don’t have to hold it all together.

I support adults who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or emotionally exhausted. Many of my clients are navigating trauma, chronic stress, life transitions, or the unique pressures that can come with military, first responder, or helping roles. They often come to therapy wanting relief, clarity, and practical tools. I help clients move forward by creating a safe, collaborative space where they can better understand themselves, build coping skills, and create meaningful change.

Are you looking for a safe space to share your story and reflect on what you want for your future? Do you wish for freedom from fear, and increasing joy in your life? I have needed these very things at different times in my own life, and the courage it takes to reach out has been worth it every time.

I love working with individuals, families and youth, and I am passionate about supporting people in their desire to grow, to heal and to create change.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to carry everything you’re holding? Maybe it’s anxiety that doesn’t quiet down, the effects of trauma that still linger, or challenges in your relationship or self-worth that feel hard to name but impossible to ignore. If you're feeling disconnected from yourself, or weighed down by your experiences, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy can be a place to put some of that weight down and reconnect with who you are and where you want to go. You deserve to feel less burdened, more understood, and more connected to yourself and the life you want to live.

Life can pull us in so many different directions, and often we end up putting ourselves last.
I help clients tread anxiety, overwhelm, life transitions, and perinatal health. When working with me you will be invited to neutrally observe the way you do things and how experiences show up in your body.
