Summary
Helping Women navigate the complexities of motherhood and into midlife. I specialise in helping Moms cope with perinatal depression and anxiety, fertility struggles, miscarriage and infant loss, and changes to their identity and relationships. For women entering midlife, I can help support you with depression, anxiety, grief, stress, and career or life transitions amongst other issues. I use various evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including parts work (Internal Family Systems), somatic and cognitive-behavioural approaches, to help you thrive and meet your goals.
