Infertility Therapists in Kingston, ON
Let’s face it - becoming a mom can be incredibly challenging. There is little to prepare you for the reality of postpartum and the identity shift that can happen in motherhood. I know the lonely nights, overwhelming days, racing thoughts, and feeling that I don’t recognize myself or my life anymore. How would it feel to not have your mood run your day? To feel more at-ease with your decisions. To embrace the joy. I’m that mom friend you meet at drop-off that's been in your shoes and I can help you make your experience of motherhood what you want it to be.

This parenthood thing doesn’t feel like what you were expecting. From conception, through pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and transitioning to parenthood, you are exhausted to a level you didn’t know was possible. Instead of the joy you expected welcoming a new baby (or two!), you’re overcome with sadness or fear. You's leaking, sore, ‘touched out’. Your body doesn’t feel like it belongs to you anymore. You're overwhelmed and this tiny bundle absorbs all your time and attention. You question "how can I be suffering so badly when I was so excited for parenthood?". You feel like you must be missing something, or defective.

You’ve been searching for a couple’s therapist who can accommodate you and your partner’s busy schedules, but it feels impossible. Look no further. Kate offers evening and weekend appointments virtually and in person to suit the needs of high-achieving, busy couples. Are you ready to stop feeling so disconnected from your partner? Maybe you find yourself fantasizing about the way things were in the beginning of the relationship. Maybe you’re just staying together because of the kids.

Stop yearning for a deeper emotional connection, and instead achieve open and honest communication, and a renewed sense of trust and intimacy. If you envision a relationship where you both feel seen, heard, and understood, where conflicts are resolved with compassion and respect, we can help. The decision to seek help can bring up vulnerability and uncertainty about the future of your relationship. These feelings are valid and common; don't have to navigate these struggles alone.

It may surprise you to learn that sex is NOT supposed to hurt… yet for 20% of women, it does. Maybe the pain started slowly, or maybe it came on fast. You thought it would go away, but it didn’t. maybe you sought medical advice but, unfortunately, it hasn’t been that helpful. Eventually, the pain is impacting all parts of your life. It’s hard to focus. Hard to work. Maybe you avoid dating all together, worrying “who would want to be with someone who can’t have sex?”. If you are partnered, maybe you worry that your partner will get tired of your pain. Maybe your partner doesn’t even know…

Are you wondering if this is menopause? Your body is changing and does not feel like your own. You feel like you’re going crazy or have dementia.

Vaginal dryness, hot flashes, body aches and other changes you didn’t expect are making daily life hard. If you’ve experienced depression or anxiety before, it feels like you’re sliding back into that dark place. Nobody prepared you for this chaos—and you’re left wondering, is this just my life now?
