Coaching & Counselling Services
My online and in-person one-to-one and couples sessions offer personalized care, tailored to your journey, mind, body, and goals. I am here to hold and guard a safe space, deeply listen, offer trusted guidance, and support you with your mental and emotional wellbeing.
A compassionate space for all of the anticipation, excitement, stress, anxiety, despair, or anger that you may be confronted with when all you want is to have a baby. Prepare emotionally, mentally, and physically for the journey ahead and address fears, anxieties, and expectations, while building the foundation for a healthy pregnancy and a positive transition into parenthood. The journey to pregnancy and parenthood is not always linear. In this space, you are safe and free to feel however it is you feel, process, and release the emotions and thoughts associated with pre-conception.
Navigate the physical and emotional changes that come with growing a human and receive support with anxiety, body changes, relationship dynamics, and the anticipation of welcoming your baby. Once Baby is here, be nurtured through the emotional, mental,
and physical waves of your postpartum journey. Find your flow of adjusting to life with a newborn, heal from childbirth, meet your needs while tending to your baby, manage symptoms of postpartum depression and anxiety, and obtain support that
allows you to thrive.
Birth is a life changing event and your story deserves to be heard. Whether your experience was magical, traumatic, or somewhere in the middle, in this 90 minute one-to-one session you will be able to share your truth in a safe and sacred space, allowing you to process, heal, and integrate your story. Debrief your birthing experience, identify and begin healing from birth trauma including unexpected outcomes, medical complications, and determine how this tremendous life transition fits into your life and identity.
Navigate the obstacles of each unique stage of raising children and learn to cope with stress, overwhelm, and exhaustion. Receive guidance and learn strategies for balancing new responsibilities, developing effective parenting techniques tailored to your family, and nurturing the well-being of you and your child. Address ways to keep your relationship with your partner healthy, strong, and intimate by implementing effective communication and parenting tools that work for your family, recognize the strengths each of you bring to your family, and work together as a team.
Non-Birthing Parents & Partners
Explore the emotional complexity of family planning and parenthood. In a judgement-free space, you will be able to address and process your feelings on your road to parenthood, including anxiety, excitement, or uncertainty of becoming a parent. In these sessions you will be able to process the emotional impact of adding a new family member on your relationship, family structure, and personal identity.
Perinatal Grief & Loss
Miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal, and infant loss can be traumatizing, isolating, and increases the risk for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs). No matter how "common" the loss is, it does not mean your baby did not matter or that losing them is not painful. You are more than a statistic and you have a right to supportive and sensitive care. Grief does not have a timeline, so no matter how recent or how long ago your loss, your emotions and experiences are valid and you do not need to bear it alone.
Anxiety, Depression, Burnout
& General Mental Wellness
Receive warm, non-judgmental support as we navigate your stress, anxiety, depression, and burnout so you can build a path to a more balanced and peaceful life. In these sessions we will explore the circumstances that brought you to therapy and work together to process your emotions and experiences, identify practical coping and management strategies, and shape the future you envision.
