With specialized training in trauma focussed therapies and perinatal mental health, I am equipped to support you through the challenges you are facing.
Trauma can profoundly alter how we view ourselves, others, and the world. You might feel guilty, ashamed or overwhelmed thinking of your past experiences. It’s common to find it hard to trust others and to feel anxious about the safety of the world around you. You may be grappling with your identity, feeling disconnected from yourself, or overwhelmed by emotions. Despite the challenges you encounter, my goal is to ensure you feel not only supported but truly understood, acknowledged, and empowered.

Therapy can be a place to put down the parts of yourself you’ve been carrying alone. Maybe you’re overwhelmed by a new chapter, struggling in your relationships, or simply tired of holding everything together. Sometimes, we can spend so long trying to cope, keep going, or be who we think we’re supposed to be that we lose touch with what we actually need.

It might look like you have everything together on the outside—but internally feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in your thoughts. Maybe your mind doesn’t slow down, you replay conversations, or you feel emotionally drained trying to keep up with everything in your life. You might be used to pushing through, handling things on your own, or putting others first—but lately, it feels exhausting. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep feeling this way.

Accepting New Clients. Most people arrive believing something in them (or between them) is broken. Usually it isn’t. What has broken down is a way of relating that worked for years and has stopped working now. I work with couples, families, and individuals facing recurring conflict, emotional distance, or a decision that cannot be made. I also work with anxiety, burnout, grief, and periods when a person’s usual way of living has stopped working.

My approach to therapy is Attachment and Interpersonal Neuroscience Based. Adult Attachment Theory (rooted in Attachment science) will uncover the ways our early attachment experiences in childhood, impact our relationships in adulthood. Interpersonal Neuroscience (rooted in Polyvagal Theory) focuses on the role of our nervous system, and why we respond to/interpret “threat” the way we do.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck in familiar patterns of worry, people-pleasing, or pushing yourself to keep going, even if you’re exhausted? I believe that even when anxiety or burnout feels consuming, you already carry the capacity for change. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, understand what is driving your stress, and reconnect with a steadier, more compassionate relationship with yourself.

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.
