Perinatal & maternal mental health
You don't have to navigate this season alone
Pregnancy and early parenthood are often described as joyful milestones, but they can also bring unexpected emotional challenges. You may find yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unlike yourself in ways you didn't expect.
Whether you're trying to conceive, are pregnant, are adjusting to life with a new baby, or navigating pregnancy loss or a difficult birth experience, you deserve support.
As a Canadian Certified Perinatal Mental Health Therapist, I offer specialized support to help you feel understood, supported, and less alone through this season of life.

EMDR THERAPY & PERINATAL MENTAL HEALTH
Difficult experiences during pregnancy, birth, or early parenthood can stay with us long after they happen. A difficult birth, pregnancy loss, a frightening medical experience, or the emotional challenges of becoming a parent may leave you feeling disconnected from yourself or the experience you hoped for.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing) Therapy can help you process distressing experiences and the emotions, beliefs and reactions connection to them.
