I work with mothers in all stages of their motherhood journey (from thinking about having a child until you are a mother of adult children).
I approach individual therapy from a relational perspective. What this means is that I understand that we live in interconnected relationships and this impacts us and our daily experience. Often times, mothers tell me that this way of looking at things takes away the pressure and the shame of everything being “their fault” or of something being "wrong with them".

Often times, mothers tell me that this way of looking at things takes away the pressure and the shame of everything being “their fault” or of something being "wrong with them".
Mothers come see me for some of the following challenges:
- Relationship challenges (partner, family, children, friends)
- Feeling a lack of meaning and motivation
- Pregnancy and Postpartum
- Feeling disconnected from spirituality
- Desire to seek balance holistically in more aspects of life
- Identity exploration
- Challenges with demands of life
- Life transitions
- Depression and anxiety
- Stress and workplace challenges
- Influence of shame
- Women’s issues and the impact of patriarchy
- Loss and grief
- Confidence and self-esteem
- Coping with illness or disability
- Sexual and intimacy challenges
