“You don’t have to be in crisis to come to counselling.” Many people believe therapy is only for when life has completely fallen apart. Many people come to counselling simply because they want to feel calmer, clearer or more able to cope with the pressures of everyday life and relationships.

There are times when life can feel difficult to make sense of. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself or others, or perhaps something simply doesn’t feel quite right. Sometimes there is a clear reason for seeking therapy; at other times, it can be difficult to put into words. I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, relationship struggles, questions around identity and self-worth, or periods of change and uncertainty. You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what is wrong or what you want from therapy.

I offer a warm, thoughtful space to explore the challenges of pregnancy, early motherhood, and parenthood.
If you are finding the transition to parenthood harder than expected, please know you are far from alone. Many parents I work with feel constantly on edge, burnt out, or disconnected from who they were before. Many have faced a traumatic start to parenthood. You might be struggling to feel the way you thought you would for your new baby, navigating a painful shift from one child to two, or dealing with raw toddler rages that trigger things from your own past. Couples I see often feel a growing distance from each other, finding it hard to connect amid the chaos. Whatever you are carrying, therapy offers a space to figure things out.

Through conversation, reflection, and careful attention to experience, therapy can create the possibility for greater understanding and meaningful change.

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.
