I like to think of us as mountain climbers. We are all climbing our own mountain, and we are all at different points along the journey. Sometimes it helps to have someone on the mountain next to you - who can see you climbing - who can help you find the next foothold, listen to the story of your journey, and help you find the strength to continue.

That’s where I come in!

The journey to pregnancy, labour/delivery, and the postpartum time period all come with their own unique challenges and can be difficult to navigate. As a mother of two (ages 5 and 1.5), I understand how difficult it can be to feel and think things that scare you, or to have your core identity shift so drastically in an instant.

Let me help you find the next foothold in your journey, find what keeps you grounded, and provide the tools and strategies that may help you go from surviving to thriving during this time.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. Currently, I am finishing my internship and my M.Ed in Counselling Psychology.

I have taken Dr. Russ Harris’s Acceptance and Commitment Therapy trainings - including how to help with Grief and Loss, as well as Dr. Sunita Osborn’s training on Perinatal Loss.

Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I was always interested in mental health and even did a PhD at the University of Ottawa working on the effects of our immediate environment on depression and anxiety. Since completing my PhD in 2016, I have also been a sessional lecturer at the University of Ottawa where I teach undergraduate classes in Family Psychology, Psychopathology, Psychology of Women, and Development through the Lifespan to name a few.

I’m a passionate, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, often humorous, and empathic therapist.
