I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (10191) specializing in reproductive mental health and providing trauma informed, attachment based support to parents of all genders. I provide a safe, supportive space to discuss issues related to fertility, pregnancy and pregnancy planning, grief/loss, and the postpartum period (depression, anxiety, role transitions and adjustment, relationship difficulties). My approach is holistic; focusing on mind, body and spirit. My work with clients incorporates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), attachment theory, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Solution Focused Therapy and mindfulness. In addition to my private practice, I am a founding partner of Coast Counselling Group, specializing in reproductive and perinatal mental health. I also provide individual and group counselling services at Royal Columbian Hospital's Reproductive Mental Health Program. I also provide support for PMS, PMDD, menopause and mid-life transitions.
I have a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Adler University, and completed my Clinical Practicum at the BC Reproductive Mental Health Program at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver (2011). In addition to my private practice, I provide counselling services at Royal Columbian Hospital's Reproductive Mental Health Program.
