Compassionate counselling through fertility, pregnancy, loss, postpartum and the transition into parenthood.

Whether you’re navigating the uncertainty of trying to conceive, preparing to welcome a baby, or adjusting to new parenthood, therapy can offer a place to slow down and feel supported. It can also be a place to process difficult experiences, anxiety, or life’s changes—and begin feeling more like yourself again.

Maybe you’re here because…

Parenthood feels much harder than you expected.

Anxiety has become exhausting, even when everything looks "fine."

You're carrying the weight of birth trauma or pregnancy loss.

You've spent so long taking care of everyone else’s needs that you've lost touch with yourself.

Past experiences you thought you had moved beyond are beginning to affect you again.

Self-doubt keeps taking over, leaving you feeling as though nothing you do is ever enough.

You’re ready to feel grounded in yourself again and reconnect with what feels meaningful.

Maybe things look okay from the outside.

You’re getting through the days. Showing up, taking care of the things that need to get done. But underneath, maybe your mind rarely switches off. You’re second-guessing yourself, feeling more reactive than usual, or finding that things that used to feel manageable suddenly take a lot more out of you.

Maybe something has changed. A relationship, becoming a parent, a loss, a difficult experience, or your sense of who you are. Or maybe there isn’t one obvious thing you can point to. You just know you don’t quite feel like yourself.

You don’t need to have a clear explanation for why you’re struggling. Things don’t need to be at their worst before they’re worth paying attention to.

Sometimes it helps to have somewhere to put it all. Somewhere to slow things down, make sense of what’s going on, and figure out what might actually help.

How I can Support You

Life has a way of bringing us moments we never expected, becoming a parent, navigating loss, experiencing trauma, or realizing that the ways we’ve always coped are no longer working. Therapy can be a space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and feel more connected to yourself again.

  • The transition into parenthood can be beautiful, overwhelming, and complicated—all at the same time. You may be struggling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, guilt, perfectionism, feeling disconnected from yourself, or wondering why this season feels harder than you expected.

    I support parents navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and the early years of parenthood with unconditional acceptance and without judgment. Together, we can make sense of your experiences, quiet the pressure to “do it all,” and help you reconnect with yourself in this new chapter.

  • Sometimes the experiences that shape us most are the ones we never expected to happen. A difficult birth, fertility struggles, pregnancy loss, or an unplanned medical experience can leave you carrying emotions that are hard to process.

    Therapy can provide a safe space to explore what happened, work through painful memories, and begin healing in a way that honours your experience.

  • Maybe your mind feels like it never slows down. Maybe you’re constantly anticipating what could go wrong, or paralyzed by decision making. Or maybe, you’re trying to keep everyone else okay and feeling exhausted from holding everything together.

    I help clients understand the roots of their anxiety, develop tools to feel more grounded, and build a kinder relationship with their anxiety and with themselves. You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable to reach out for support.

  • Life transitions have a way of changing how we see ourselves. Parenthood, relationships, career changes, trauma, and major life shifts can leave you wondering, “Who am I now? How do I fit into this new season? Where do I go from here?”

    Therapy can be a place to explore your story, rebuild trust in yourself, and create a life that feels more aligned with who you are—not just who you feel you’re expected to be.

You don’t have to figure out the next step alone.

We can begin with a free 15-minute consultation and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
