My work centers on client empowerment and recognizing the uniqueness of each of our stories. Life during pregnancy and new parenthood is made to seem like it should be the most joyous time. While many aspects of this transition can hold great happiness, many people feel immense fear, stress and loss during this time as well. Despite how common it is to feel this mix of emotions, we are made to feel guilty for any emotion that isn’t positive! I recognize the need to hold space for all emotions during the prenatal and postpartum stages, to reduce shame, isolation and suffering in the lives of my clients. Counselling during these periods of life not only benefits the client, but the child, the partner and the family as a whole entity. If you are pregnant or have given birth and are feeling anxious, detached, depressed or helpless, please reach out.
