Therapists in Embrun, ON

I help stressed out postpartum moms and moms who had a rough childhood become the mother they want to be. The birth of your baby didn't go as planned and you feel like you're already failing at motherhood. You can't help but keep an eye on your sleeping baby at night, just to look at the little tummy go up and down. You thought adjusting to a new baby would be tough but turns out it's actually parenting your toddler that is triggering the heck out of your childhood wounds. You are not alone. There is help, I provide bilingual therapy for postpartum moms and moms who want to break the trauma cycle in Ontario (English and French).

Searching for a counsellor and finding the right fit can feel overwhelming - this is why I offer a free 15 minute virtual consultation to give us the opportunity to connect, and ensure that you feel we would be a good fit. When everyday life stressors are feeling overwhelming and impacting your ability to enjoy life, individual counselling can be really helpful as a step to figuring out a path forward. When feeling overwhelmed as an individual, this often impacts our relationships which is why I also offer both couple and parenting sessions.

Life is unpredictable and everchanging as are we. The stresses and barriers of day-to-day life as well as unexpected challenges stretch our resources and drain our resilience. Taking time for ourselves to reflect, renew, and grow becomes an even harder task when supports are low. I strive to offer a safe, non-judgemental environment to discuss difficulties, provide an empathetic ear, and explore concerns through a variety of therapeutic modalities that are uniquely tailored to you. I believe that each person has the strength and ability for personal growth and can affect change in their life.

I believe that we all have unique qualities, strengths and challenges. I work from a client centered approach to help you address the areas in which you desire to experience change and healing.

Chaque personne est unique par sa personnalité, son vécu, ses défis et ses rêves ; et chaque personne doit être respectée dans son unicité. Lorsque l’on traverse une période difficile de notre vie, il est possible que l’on se sente coincé(e), seul(e) et sans espoir. C’est dans ces moments précis qu’un soutien psychologique et professionnel pourrait être une solution à considérer. Comme thérapeute, je serai attentive à vos besoins et à vos buts. Je prendrai le temps d’évaluer votre problématique et de vous recommander un plan de traitement qui correspond réellement à votre situation et à vos objectifs.

I believe we are shaped by and have influence on the people and places around us. We can benefit from having someone from outside those circles reflect back what they see and hear in our stories. And in the sharing of those experiences, longings, pains, & celebrations, we are transformed-our perspectives altered, our roles adapted, our emotions claimed, and our direction clearer. I serve Individuals (12 years +) Couples & Families. Treating issues related to communication, stress, anxiety, PTSD, depression or mood changes, life transitions, blended families, grief & bereavement, self-esteem & boundary management, and trauma & abuse.
