The journey into parenthood can hold joy and grief, love and overwhelm — sometimes all at once. This is a judgment-free space for the anxiety, intrusive thoughts, identity shifts and exhaustion that so often go unspoken. In person in North York or online across Ontario.
The perinatal period — pregnancy through the first year or two of parenthood — is one of the biggest identity shifts a person can go through. It can hold joy and grief at the same time: deep love alongside anxiety, overwhelm, loss of self, and feelings no one quite prepared you for.
Perinatal mental health struggles are common and treatable — and they’re not a reflection of how much you love your baby or whether you’re a ‘good’ parent. Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, low mood, rage, and grief can all show up here, and they so often go unspoken because of shame or fear of judgment.
This is a space where you can say the unsayable. Whatever you’re carrying — including the experiences around fertility, birth, or loss that still ache — it’s welcome here, without judgment.
Tender, steady, and free of judgment — meeting you in whatever this chapter is holding.
Room for the anxiety, the intrusive thoughts, the rage, the grief — the things that feel too shameful to say out loud anywhere else.
Somatic and practical tools for the racing worry and intrusive thoughts that so often arrive in pregnancy and postpartum.
Space for the losses of this season — birth experiences, fertility struggles, and the self you’re grieving alongside the joy.
Gently reconnecting with who you are inside the identity shift of becoming, or expanding as, a parent.
So much of this goes unspoken. If you see yourself here, you’re not alone — and support helps.
If you’re having thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, please reach out right away — call or text 988, or call 911. You deserve immediate support.

Perinatal therapy is mental-health support during pregnancy and the period after birth — sometimes through the first year or two of parenthood. It addresses the anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, grief, and identity shifts that are common in this season. It’s a judgment-free space to process an experience that can hold joy and struggle at the same time.
Yes — perinatal anxiety and depression are common and treatable, and they’re not a sign that you don’t love your baby or that you’re a bad parent. Many people experience intrusive thoughts, worry, low mood, or even rage during this time. You don’t have to wait until it’s ‘bad enough’ to reach out.
Of course. Whether we meet in person in North York or online, your baby is completely welcome — feeding, soothing, and the occasional crying are all part of this season and entirely okay here.
Yes. I see clients in person in North York and online by secure video anywhere in Ontario. Online sessions are often a lifeline in early parenthood — no commute, and you can attend from home around naps and feeds.
Yes. The losses of this season — miscarriage, stillbirth, fertility struggles, difficult birth experiences — are real and often under-acknowledged. This is a space to grieve them and be met with care, at your own pace.
Sessions with a Registered Psychotherapist may be covered under extended health plans that include psychotherapy. I direct-bill many plans and provide receipts for others. Coverage varies by plan, so it’s worth confirming with your provider.
Intrusive thoughts — including frightening ones — are surprisingly common in the perinatal period and usually don’t mean you’re a danger to your baby. That said, if you’re having thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, please seek help immediately by calling or texting 988, or calling 911. In therapy, you can talk about intrusive thoughts without shame, and we’ll make sure you have the right level of support.
