About me

Perinatal mental health has been a passion of mine over the past fourteen years.  After the birth of my first child, I suffered from a severe postpartum mood disorder.  Fortunately, with the support I got, I was able to recover and feel like myself again.  While navigating this challenging and unexpected life-changing experience, I made a promise to myself that after recovery, I would do all I could to educate myself about perinatal mental health and support families experiencing struggles in the transition to parenthood.

In the following years, I attended several professional training courses on perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, became a perinatal mental health advocate, volunteered as a peer mentor with Postpartum Support International and worked as a postpartum doula. When the timing was right, I started my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology.  Since then, I have attended several trainings with the Canadian Perinatal Mental Health Trainings organization.

I am now a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) whose heart belongs to this work.  Because of what I have been through and learned through education, I bring empathy, understanding and a non-judgmental ear into my work with clients.  Trying to conceive, being pregnant or being a parent can be hard, and when mental health challenges are present, it can be even more difficult.  My priority is to create a safe place where my clients can honestly open up about their struggles and overwhelming emotions.  Every individual’s situation, difficulties and strengths is different. Thus, my therapeutic approach is tailored to their unique needs. As I found hope in my postpartum journey, I aim to help my clients find it as well and start feeling better.

I offer my services in French or English.
