I am a therapist, perinatal mental health specialist, and
above all a mother in a beautifully blended family, walking the ever-evolving
path of parenting with all its chaos, clarity, heartbreak, and joy. My own
bumpy transition into motherhood cracked something open in me: a deeper
empathy, a fiercer commitment, and eventually, a calling.

‍

With nearly a decade of experience in counselling, therapy,
and trauma-informed care.I’ve had the honour of walking alongside individuals
and families navigating life after trauma, loss, and major transition. My work
has taken many shapes — supporting survivors in Ontario Rape Crisis Centres,
working as a Children’s and Family Mental Health Clinician and more recently,
serving as the Impact and Inclusion Coordinator and Consultant with Canadian
Perinatal Mental Health Training (where I also teach!) Each role has deepened
my commitment to creating safe, culturally centered, and responsive spaces
where healing can begin.

‍

Peer support spaces have taught me that healing often begins
when we feel seen. They remind us that we’re not alone in the fog of new
parenthood, and that something powerful happens when we are held — not just by
professionals, but by people who truly get it.

‍

I believe in therapy that welcomes both tears and laughter,
that honors your story without rush or judgment, and that meets you exactly
where you are.

My work is deeply rooted in supporting individuals and families across the perinatal journey from preconception through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond. I’m a Registered Social Worker (MSW/RSW), Canadian Certified Perinatal Mental Health Clinician (CC-PMH), Certified in Birth & Reproductive Trauma (CC-BRT), Perinatal Grief & Loss (CC-PGL), and Fertility & Mental Health (CC-FMH), as well as an Accredited Family Mediator. I provide specialized, trauma-informed care that complements and collaborates with doulas, midwives, and other perinatal providers.

I support clients in the emotional, relational, and psychological preparation for birth, particularly those navigating prior trauma, difficult births, pregnancy loss, fertility challenges, or complex reproductive journeys. I also provide birth story processing for individuals who have experienced unexpected or traumatic outcomes, helping them make sense of their experiences and move toward healing.

A significant focus of my practice is the assessment and treatment of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs), including anxiety, depression, OCD, and adjustment challenges. I also offer infant feeding support from a mental health perspective—supporting clients through breastfeeding or chestfeeding challenges, combo feeding decisions, medical advocacy, and the emotional complexities of weaning or feeding changes.

In addition, I support families through perinatal grief and loss, fertility-related stress, identity transitions, and evolving family dynamics, including separation and co-parenting.

My approach is trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and culturally responsive. I offer virtual sessions (babies are always welcome) and limited in-home visits. As an MSW/RSW, my services are often covered by extended health benefits, helping make care more accessible.
