I have experience working with a wide-variety life-challenges, including (but not limited to) aging, relationships, grief/loss,
pregnancy
/post-partum, worry, body image.
Do you struggle with excessive worry, loneliness, low mood? Are you experiencing a particularly challenging period in your life and feeling uncertain of how to navigate through? Perhaps you are feeling unsatisfied with an important relationship, or simply want "more" from life? Life can be challenging, and sometimes difficult to navigate alone... you don't have to.

Whether its during
pregnancy
or
postpartum
, or other big life changes, you don't have to go through it alone.
Feeling like you just try to escape from life? Maybe you’ve just had a baby. Perhaps you have scary thoughts and feelings of self doubt that have left you wondering if you’ve made the right decision. You just don’t feel good and question if you ever will again. Maybe you find yourself worrying or you’re constantly feeling sad and have no interest in the things you once enjoyed. Likely you find yourself avoiding situations or having difficulty just getting through the day. Perhaps you’ve experienced a major life change such as a move, a new job, changes to your family unit and you’re having difficulty dealing with this change.

perinatal
mood disorders .
Accepting new clients in person and online! I know that you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and worried that you will always feel this way. You may feel burnt out with day-to-day tasks, your work, relationships or parenting. You feel lost about what your next steps are and how to move forward.

Together we can develop supportive plans for birth, the
postpartum
period and parenting to manage your changing identity and help you to parent the way you want, being the best version of yourself possible.
You are struggling to adjust to parenthood, you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious and unsure. Maybe you have experienced a loss or fertility struggles, causing you to feel like giving up hope. You may find yourself quick to anger and lash out in ways you never imagined. Or perhaps your relationship is changing and you and your partner are no longer on the same page. You might feel overwhelmed with the mental load of parenting. Or experiencing stress and anxiety transitioning back to work after leave. Whether you are pregnant,
postpartum
or an experienced parent, it can be difficult to manage the never ending demands and conflicts.

At the
Postpartum
Counselling Centre, we have highly trained specialists ready to help you start feeling better.
Ever feel like you’re the only one who doesn’t have all her stuff together? When you see other moms around you, they all seem like they know exactly what they’re doing, while you’re lost in a sea of confusion, stress, boredom, sadness, and anger? You’re left feeling alone, broken, and just not good enough. The worries build up, and you’re not sure what to do with them - they’re taking up too much space in your brain. You just want to feel normal again. We help with
postpartum
depression, anxiety, OCD, birth trauma, and
postpartum
psychosis. Dads can struggle too! If your partner is having a hard time, we're here for them as well.

I help clients overcome burnout, perfectionism, and stress/anxiety related to
pregnancy
, parenting, small-business ownership, and life transitions.
You've been striving to live up to high expectations for as long as you can remember. You feel pressure to be on top of everything. To do it all perfectly. And yet, it still doesn't feel like enough. Worry and overwhelm have become constant companions that have been robbing you of joy and connection. You know that something needs to change, and let's be honest, you've tried! But you don't seem to be getting the results you're looking for. I am here to help you let go of the nagging expectations and worry, so you can find more joy. I want to help you connect with your values and design a life that is fulfilling.

Hi there, and welcome to this brave space. I am so glad you are here. I see you thinking that you’re failing...that you can’t keep up and you’re losing who you are as a person. So many people feel this way, that they no longer can manage the stresses of life. A recent loss. A new baby. A challenging relationship. Work demands. These experiences can really take a toll. You find yourself wondering, “Am I alone?” or “Will it always be like this?”

*Offering virtual trauma therapy throughout Ontario.* While I believe that everyone carries within themselves the capacity to heal, during difficult periods in life our personal strengths can be impossible to access. At these times, we may need a caring and non-judgmental therapist to assist us. My intention is to provide you with a safe space to share your concerns and to help you to fulfill the hopes you have for your life. As each individual is unique, so is therapy. I adapt my approach to meet your personal goals and together we will come to identify the process that best serves you.

I strive to create a warm, safe and accepting space to work towards your therapeutic goals and assist in your healing process. Although life happens to us, our healing has to happen at home - whether that means literally in our physical spaces, or in our mind and body within which we live. With this in mind, I created my own practice, Healing at Home Counselling and Wellness Services. With the philosophy that if our mind is supported, we can feel at home and safe in our body, our counselling services work from a person-centred, holistic approach which allows for an individually tailored intervention plan.

Working with me is a collaboration - I hold space for you and your process for change and together we explore your intentions and goals through vulnerability, resilience, community, connection, and growth. At the foundation our therapeutic relationship is trust and respect. It is the greatest privilege to support and witness someone connect with their innate wisdom and strength, grounding in their true selves; I do not take your confidence in me as your therapist lightly.

The past throws stones to the present, and that is what brings many people to therapy. I believe we all have the capacity to heal, but often our own story can get in the way of that healing. If this is your first time seeking out a therapist or if you've done this before, it is my hope to work alongside you, at your pace, as collaborate to make a plan that addresses your needs. With this, it is important for you to choose a therapist who is a good fit and connects to your needs. I encourage you to explore my website and reach out to me to determine if I am that fit for you.

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.
