“I have a special interest in working with pregnant and new mothers; parents; couples; and children. I have been working with families and couples for over ten years. I often see people with the following concerns: self esteem, anxiety, depression, life transition, loss and grief (including pregnancy loss), identity, relationship concerns, and painful/ difficult childhoods. When working with parents, I often provide support in the following areas: concerns around becoming a parent, life balance, postpartum depression and anxiety, uncertainty around parenting, sibling adjustment, parenting philosophy/ style, conflicts with partner around parenting, child's temperament/
development, and family of origin concerns.”
