As someone who’s experienced a traumatic birth, or an unplanned cesarean…
It can be difficult to reach out for help.
I know first hand that it can be hard to reach out to a healthcare professional for support, after having a difficult birthing experience.
and because of that, I just want to hold compassion around how isolating this experience can be.
it’s natural to grieve the birth you had planned, and dreamed about.
yes, the goal is that you and the baby are safe, but that doesn’t begin to touch the emotional difficulty of a traumatic birthing experience.
it’s also very normal to be holding onto trauma in your body, if you experienced trauma during one of life’s most vulnerable experiences- giving birth.
and, if you’re longing to feel more present with your little one + loved ones, and process your traumatic birthing experience…
I’m glad you found me.

what to expect from therapy
each therapeutic relationship is unique, and tailored specifically to your needs.
I’m a licensed Canadian clinical therapist, and I use a blend of EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Inner-Child Work, and mindfulness based body-centred practices.
these therapeutic tools help get to the heart of your challenges, by gently allowing your mind to re-process traumatic information. it also allows you to improve your brain-body connection, so that you can feel less hyper-vigilant.
the work that I do fosters your brain’s natural ability to heal, allows you to uncover better coping mechanisms, reduce reactivity, and creates a stable foundation to more confidently regulate your emotions.
i believe that every human who wants to grow, has the capacity to evolve, and it’s important to work through the blockages that are holding you back, in order to increase the opportunity for flourishing.
