Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Kingston, ON
There is little to prepare you for the reality of postpartum and the identity shift that can happen in motherhood.
I aim to create a compassionate, non-judgemental environment where you can collaborate on the process. I will adapt my approach based on your individual needs and goals and we will focus on learning the skills to process your experiences while embracing the values and strengths you hold.

I aim to create a compassionate, non-judgemental environment where you can collaborate on the process. I will adapt my approach based on your individual needs and goals and we will focus on learning the skills to process your experiences while embracing the values and strengths you hold.
Through approaches like IFS-informed and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), I help individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, prenatal/ postpartum mental health, life transitions, self-esteem, burnout, and grief.
Life can sometimes feel so chaotic. But where do you fit into the mix? Maybe you take on the role of looking after everyone around you, or perhaps you've shut down and don't feel like you can be there for yourself or others like you want to be. If this feels familiar, you're not alone! So many of us feel this way at one time or another, but that just makes it all the more important to address. Addressing these concerns can help you become more functional day-to-day by regulating emotions, shifting thoughts, and processing past experiences.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviours. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
