My goal in therapy is to create a relationship built on safety, trust, and hope, where people feel accepted and challenged to grow in new and meaningful ways. I’m passionate about supporting parents in growing, healing, changing, and discovering more ease in themselves and in their relationships.

I bring to my work as a perinatal trauma therapist the full winding path of my own professional and personal journey. I have a background in child development, and I have supported parents with parenting challenges and in building solid foundations in attachment with their young children for almost a decade. I have also worked therapeutically with young children to support them in resolving early traumatic experiences. My work as a perinatal trauma therapist for moms, birthing people and babies is a culmination of these experiences. I support new moms and birthing people in working through personal experiences with grief and loss, anxiety, depression, panic, postpartum mood disorders, birth trauma and other concerns.

I’m skilled at integrating a wide variety of approaches in therapy sessions. I work with Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, Lifespan Integration, Ego State, inner child and parts work, cognitive-behaviour therapy, narrative therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and other person-centred and feminist approaches. I can support you in processing through your concerns and working toward your goals when you are considering pregnancy, throughout your pregnancy, and once you’re caring for your baby.
