Becoming a parent can be rewarding, but let’s be honest, the identity shift into parenthood is hard! It can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and anxiety provoking, and we really don’t talk about it enough. As a PhD-level psychologist based in Alberta and offering virtual sessions in Ontario, my passion is supporting new moms, dads, and non-birthing parents as they navigate the emotional and relationship changes that come with pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. I also provide support for birth trauma, NICU stays, pregnancy loss, infertility, and the ups and downs of early parenthood. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
I offer a warm, caring space where you will feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll explore your feelings, deepen insight, and build practical coping skills to support you. If you’re experiencing anxious thoughts, changes in your sense of self, or communication challenges, we’ll work together to build emotional resilience and nurture your connections.
Whether you’re welcoming your first baby, finding your footing as a new parent, or juggling the evolving needs of a growing family, you don’t have to carry the hard parts on your own. I’m here to offer warm, evidence-based support so we can create a strong, healthy foundation for you and your family. Free 15 min consults are available via my online calendar.

I take a client-centered approach, which emphasizes that a collaborative, supportive, and non-judgmental relationship between you and your psychologist is a key component of therapy. My background and training is in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), although I draw from other therapeutic approaches to individualize treatment based on client needs. 2SLGBTQ inclusive, neurodiverse friendly.
