I am a Registered Social Worker with a special interest in women’s mental health, career change and development, stress management, life transitions and self-esteem. My approach to therapy is to act as a witness and guide to your journey and to help you ask good questions, clarify problems, and write new stories about your life.

I have had a long career in education as a secondary school teacher, including work in alternative schools and work with international, newcomer and refugee students and families.

My curiosity about the human condition and my desire to grow and find more ease and joy led me to mindfulness, meditation, and spiritual thinkers across traditions that have helped me along the way. I incorporate these traditional healing modalities into my work with clients.

I am a Registered Social Worker specializing in work with children, youth and families. For many years I have worked as a children’s mental health counsellor and school social worker. As well, after having my own children I became very interested in women’s experiences of pregnancy, labour and postpartum, and their relationship to our mental health. I have a special interest in supporting families around school-related struggles, divorce, family conflict, attachment disruptions, perinatal mental health, loss and grief.

Being a child or teen is often a stressful and confusing time of life, it is easy to feel anxious, overwhelmed and alone. Similarly, infant, child and teen behaviour can be hard to understand, causing parents frustration, stress and worry. When these strong emotions take over it can be hard to find the next right step, this is where therapy can be helpful.

In my approach, I aim to create a compassionate and non-judgmental space, understanding we all have a good reason for why we do the things we do. I like to spend time really getting to know you and your family’s story. Together we can uncover the gems that are already there, build insight, strengthen connection, and develop new healthy patterns to help you reach your goals. It is my hope that I can be a helpful guide for you and your family through your journey.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist who supports individuals, couples, and families through various life challenges and ‘stuck’ points. It was after my own experience of pregnancy, labour, and postpartum, that I took a special interest in perinatal mental health, birth trauma, loss and grief, and the overall impact of life transitions on relationships. I recognize that it takes courage and strength to reach out and as such, I am devoted to building a secure, non judgemental and supportive environment where I can hold space for you, and your family story.

My approach is eclectic and engaging, it honours you as the expert in your own life story. My aim is to walk alongside you, as a guide, in a space of understanding, compassion, and attunement so that you feel empowered to navigate your unique healing journey with motivation, clarity, and acceptance.

I am also a proud ally of 2SLGBTQ+ clients and am committed to maintaining a positive space to effectively support the diverse challenges faced by this community.

Thank you for your bravery in being here, and I look forward to connecting with you personally.

I am a clinical psychologist, located in Burlington Ontario, with a specialization in maternal mental health. I have a special interest in working with pregnant and postpartum women who are struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma-related disorders. Utilizing best practice approaches, I also provide support, compassion, and encouragement for women experiencing infertility, pregnancy loss, and birth and reproductive trauma. Additionally, I support women who have been parenting for a while, and yet are feeling burnt out, depleted, short-fused, and overwhelmed. I also support women who have raised children, and are struggling with the transition after years of child-rearing come to an end. If you are a mom, or interested in becoming a mom, and you are struggling with feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, guilty, or burnt out, there are treatments available that can help.

The journey of motherhood often comes with unexpected challenges, uncertainty, vulnerability, shifts in identity, feelings of inadequacy, and other worrisome emotions. When our parenting journey does not meet our expectations, we can sometimes be left feeling depressed, overwhelmed, hopeless, fearful, and ashamed. My goal is to provide a space in which women feel safe to fully express their pain without judgment. Utilizing empirically supported techniques, I help clients reengage in their life, clarify their values, modify unhelpful thinking patterns, cope with intense emotions, communicate more effectively, enhance problem solving skills, and achieve greater acceptance. I am passionate about helping women increase self-awareness, enhance self-compassion, and rediscover their innate wisdom and capacity for growth and healing. I strongly believe that asking for help is a sign of courage and strength. I look forward to connecting with you.
