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.

Some of my main areas of skill include coping with a difficult
pregnancy
, birth trauma, relationship challenges in the
postpartum
period and family adjustments.
I strongly believe that every person making the step into parenthood deserves a safe space and warm connection to a counsellor who can listen to their worries, challenges and joys of having a new child. I also have a strong interest in issues of faith deconstruction and reconstruction, no matter what beliefs, religion or faith traditions you are a part of.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You’ve lost your way. You’re not the parent or partner you want to be. Reactions come quickly and regrets soon follow. Solutions aren’t coming as easily as they used to, and you alternate between anxiousness and despair. Some days you feel okay and others, like today, you admit that maybe you need a different approach. It feels as if you’ve lost hope and faith in your ability to cope with the many stresses that have come your way. A new child. A relationship conflict. A loss. And so, you find yourself here, contemplating this next step. You’ve come to the right place.

What type of mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist, psychologist, or counsellor, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counsellor in London?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.
What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Psychologists in London specialize in therapeutic approaches such as CBT, EMDR, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), among others. Finding a psychologist or therapist who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.
How to use my insurance?
Many therapists accept health insurance. Check to see if your insurance is covered. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the therapist.
