Infertility Support

Struggling to conceive can bring emotional ups and downs, including grief, stress, and uncertainty. Therapy provides a compassionate space to process these feelings, navigate options, and find support through your fertility journey

Pregnancy & Infant Loss

Losing a pregnancy or an infant is an unimaginable pain. Whether you're grieving a miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal loss, therapy offers a space to honour your experience, process your emotions, and find support in your healing journey.

Birth Trauma + Birth Processing

A difficult or traumatic birth experience can leave lasting emotional effects. Therapy can help you process your experience, make sense of your emotions, and regain a sense of control and healing after childbirth.

​Pre/Post Baby Couples Counselling

Parenthood changes everything—including relationships. Couples counselling provides a space to strengthen communication, navigate new roles, and work through the challenges that come with pregnancy and postpartum life.

Pregnancy and Postpartum

Pregnancy and the postpartum period bring immense physical, emotional, and identity shifts. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or adjusting to parenthood, therapy offers support, reassurance, and tools to help you feel more like yourself.

Perinatal Mental Health

I specialize in perinatal mental health, and support individuals and couples experiencing:

  • Ambivalence with becoming parents, fertility challenges, and related stressors

  • Grief and loss after miscarriage, stillbirth, or termination of a pregnancy

  • Prenatal diagnosis, premature delivery, or NICU stay

  • Trauma related to childbirth

  • Mental health challenges during pregnancy and/or postpartum (depression, anxiety, OCD, other)                                              

  • Difficult adjustment to parenthood (guilt, shame, anger, identity shift, isolation, body image issues)

  • Relationship challenges intensified by any or many of the above topics

 
"Perinatal" includes preconception, pregnancy, birth, and the first twelve months postpartum. This is a period of time that is marked by complex transitions and changes in identity and relationship. For many, it's a season of life that is filled with joy, and positive feelings. However, for many others this is a time that comes with unexpected challenges, and these can be devastating and tough to navigate. It can bring on a great deal of pain, isolation, fears, anger and grief. If you are finding this phase of life confronting, know that you're not alone.
