I’m passionate about working with women who are navigating the emotional complexities of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to juggle the demands of motherhood, relationships, and self-identity. The challenges of this life transition can be unexpected, creating feelings of anxiety, sadness, self-criticism, guilt, loneliness and resentment. It's easy to feel like you are not doing enough in a society that has constant parenting advice and impossible expectations. If you are feeling the weight of all of this, you deserve a space to process and make sense of it all.

You’re overwhelmed, stuck in the same patterns, and exhausted from trying to manage stress, anxiety, or emotional eating on your own. Maybe your thoughts feel relentless, your emotions unpredictable, or your relationship with food feels out of control. You’re doing your best, but willpower alone isn’t working. You want to feel calmer, more in control, and finally at peace with yourself. You’re not failing—something deeper is driving these struggles. You deserve support that helps you break free from the cycle, regain confidence, and create lasting change.

One million Canadian men suffer from major depressive disorder each year. Three of every four completed suicides in Canada are by men. The prevalence of alcohol use disorder is twice as high in men with another mental health diagnosis than in the general population. One third of Canadian men worry that talking about mental health at work could put their job at risk. Men are just as likely as women to have mental health issues yet are far less likely to utilize traditional mental health services. Men are more likely to believe that mental health services are difficult to access, ineffective and invasive. At Cogent, Ontario’s new mental health clinic focussed solely on supporting men, we’re changing that.

Cognitive Processing (CPT) Counsellors
How does cognitive processing therapy work?
A CPT therapist helps a client evaluate their thoughts about the trauma they experienced, focusing on maladaptive or self-blaming thoughts that can exacerbate symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression. The therapist will work with a client to help them learn to challenge such thoughts and consider different perspectives. The therapist is also likely to ask a client to work on these techniques at home between meetings, such as writing an account of their trauma that can be read aloud during a future session.
What is cognitive processing therapy for PTSD?
Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a form of cognitive-behavioural therapy primarily used in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to treat individuals who experienced abuse or violence, who survived natural disasters, who were first responders to such incidents, or who otherwise experienced trauma.
How long does cognitive processing therapy last?
CPT is a short-term therapy. Whether conducted one-on-one or in a group, a complete set of CPT sessions typically includes 12 weekly sessions, along with tasks for clients to complete at home, although this can vary depending on a client’s needs or a therapist’s particular treatment plan. Sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes.
How effective is cognitive processing therapy?
A large body of research supports the use of CPT to treat people experiencing PTSD, finding it to be effective among different age groups, either in one-on-one therapy sessions or in a group therapy environment. Research suggests that although the initial sessions may be difficult, clients tend to begin to feel positive progress after the first few sessions, and that the benefits tend to last well after the therapy ends.
