Supporting you through every stage
of the perinatal journey.

Pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period are not “just another life stage.” They can be identity-shifting, body-altering, relationship-rearranging, and profoundly vulnerable chapters and you deserve care that reflects that reality.

I am a provisional psychologist in Alberta with a dedicated focus on perinatal mental health. Before becoming a therapist, I worked for many years as a registered midwife in Alberta, supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and early parenting. That experience informs both my lens and my pace in therapy — I understand the clinical systems, the emotional stakes, and the parts that often go unseen.

Who I work with.

When I say perinatal, I do not just mean pregnancy or the first year. I work with people across the full spectrum of reproductive and parenting experiences, including those who are:

  • Considering or exploring the possibility of having a baby in the future

  • Navigating fertility questions, uncertainty, or treatment

  • Trying to conceive — whether straightforward, complex, or after previous loss

  • At any stage of pregnancy or postpartum (whether days, years, or decades later)

  • Grieving or integrating miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, or infant loss

  • Parenting after medically complex, frightening, or overwhelming births

  • Supporting a partner through pregnancy, birth, loss, or postpartum changes

  • Building families through surrogacy, donor conception, or adoption

  • Living with a past reproductive experience that still affects their body, identity, or relationships

My approach

Reproductive experiences often weave themselves into how we think, feel, and relate — even years later. Therapy offers a steady place to understand what those experiences have meant for you and who you are now.

My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-aware, and evidence-based, with additional training through Canadian Perinatal Mental Health trainings. Whether things feel heavy, overwhelming, unfamiliar, or simply different than you expected, this is a space where you don’t have to carry it alone.

What you can expect in session.

  • We start where you are. Whether something specific happened or you just feel “off,” we begin with what is already here.
  • We make sense of what’s been happening. Noticing thoughts, emotions, body signals, stressors, and what has been taking up space inside you.
  • We sort the noise. Separating what is yours from what is pressure, expectation, culture, exhaustion, hormones, or someone else’s voice.
  • We support the nervous system. Not just for panic or distress — but for overload, decision fatigue, sleep disruption, and the constant mental “on.”
  • We look at coping with compassion. Understanding what has kept you afloat and adding options when you’re ready.
  • We work with what matters. Clarifying what kind of parent/partner/person you want to be in this chapter and aligning choices with those values even when things are hard.
  • We practice acceptance gently. Making room for the feelings that are already here rather than fighting them, so they have less power over you.
  • We use mindfulness in real-life ways. Staying with one moment at a time instead of living in the loop of “what if” and “I should be…”
  • We bring in real life. This may include resentment, guilt, grief, identity changes, birth preparation, feeding decisions, partnership strain, or loss.
  • We leave with something usable. A reframe, a small practice, a script, a choice clarified, or simply the relief of not holding it alone.

Course or therapy — which is right for you?

Both therapy and the Expecting Better course can support you in this season, but they serve different purposes.

Therapy is a good fit if you want:

  • A relationship with a steady, attuned professional
  • A place to process experiences, not just learn about them
  • Support with emotions, identity, trauma, or changes that feel “live” in your nervous system

The Course is a good fit if you want:

  • Education, perspective, and tools you can work through on your own time
  • A starting place before or between therapy
  • Support when therapy isn’t accessible or not the right step yet

The course is not a replacement for therapy, but it can complement the work — many people do both or begin with the course and move into therapy when they feel ready.

If you’re unsure which path fits, a meet-and-greet can help you decide before committing.
