I hold a Master of Social Work degree (MSW) and am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, specializing in perinatal mental health, trauma recovery and grief. I bring 17 years of experience working in community counselling, health care, child welfare, and palliative care.

I am an EMDR Certified Therapist and a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International. I also work with couples using Gottman-informed therapy, including my role as a Bringing Baby Home Educator.

I do this work because I’ve seen how often people, especially parents, are expected to carry too much, too quietly.

Pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition to parenthood can be profoundly meaningful, but can also be challenging. It is normal to experience change, uncertainty, emotional ups & downs, shifting identities, and moments of discomfort as you grow and adjust to this season of life.

Some experiences, while common, such as persistent anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, trauma responses, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others, are not something you simply have to push through. You deserve care, support, and treatment.

My approach is person-centred and draws from EMDR, somatic approaches, ACT, and ERP to support healing at both the nervous system and practical levels.

Outside of work, I enjoy most of my time with my husband and two daughters. Being a bit of an introvert, I lean towards solo hobbies such as running (slowly), reading and playing the piano.
