Accepting new clients October 1, 2023! For many birthing people, like yourself, excessive worrying, low mood or another challenge is impacting your ability to function during pregnancy or postpartum. Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders leave us feeling worthless, disconnected, and like we are failing as parents. As a survivor of postpartum depression and anxiety, I can relate. I’m here to tell you that it can get better, with the right resources and support. You’re ready to start enjoying this new phase of life, you’re eager to reconnect with your child and partner. And most of all, you’re ready to feel like yourself again.

Currently offering remote sessions (phone and video call). Accepting new clients. When most clients come to me they don't know where to start. Things have been difficult and they haven't been able to overcome their problems alone or with their friend's advice. My clients need someone to listen, someone who knows about the fake face, someone who can help them understand "why"; and help them find a way to get healthy. I have a Masters in Counseling Psychology from OISE | UofT the University of Toronto where I learned to use research-supported methods to help clients be empowered. Clients are always the experts on themselves.

My aim is to help you to examine your needs and bring awareness to how to move towards health and balance.

Do you experience regular relationships conflict? Are you finding it difficult to regulate your emotions? Do you have difficulty completing tasks to help you achieve your goals?

Would you benefit from improving your self-esteem or strengthening your confidence? Are you willing to look at your past experiences and understand how they affect your current reactions and behaviours? If so, you may be able to benefit from psychotherapy.
