Skilled Companionship

PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR ADULTS You may be feeling: Anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally reactive Stuck in patterns that don’t shift, despite insight Depressed, disconnected from yourself or others Hard on yourself in ways that are difficult to change I offer a supportive, relationship-based approach that helps you make sense of what you’re feeling and begin to respond differently, accessing resilience and creating lasting change. My work is trauma-informed, longer-term therapy that generally begins weekly (depending on your goals) and moves to bi-weekly or monthly sessions. Free 15-Minute Consultation REPRODUCTIVE COUNSELLING Trying to conceive or navigating fertility challenges can bring anxiety, grief, and a deep sense of uncertainty. You may be feeling overwhelmed, alone, or noticing strain in your relationship. This is not just a medical experience; it affects your emotional well-being, your body, and how you relate to yourself and others. I offer a supportive approach that helps you make sense of what you’re feeling and move through it with more steadiness and clarity. This work is also attentive to the connection between emotional stress and the body, supporting you in feeling more grounded during a time that can feel out of control. Together, we can support you with the emotional impact of infertility, pregnancy, and loss, navigating fertility treatment or IVF, family building for LGBTQIA2S+ individuals and couples, relationship strain, postpartum challenges, and finding ways to talk with others about your experience. You don’t have to go through this alone.
