How I Can Support You
As a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist, I provide warm, compassionate support for women navigating the emotional challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition to parenthood. I take a whole-person approach, considering your emotions, relationships, identity, and the unique experiences shaping your journey.
I support women experiencing:
-
Perinatal anxiety and depression
-
Overwhelm, stress, and the mental load of motherhood
-
Pregnancy, postpartum, and identity adjustment
-
Low confidence, insecurity, or struggles with self-worth
-
Birth trauma, pregnancy loss, and fertility challenges
-
Relationship changes and the transition to parenthood
Through psychotherapy, we’ll create a safe, non-judgmental space to process your experiences, build practical coping tools, and reconnect with your confidence and sense of self. My goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and more like yourself again.
