Helping you to survive —
At Bloom & Thrive Therapy, I help individuals and new parents embrace their strengths and work towards lasting change. I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow, and I work to assist you to identify and utilize your own strengths to help overcome barriers. I would be honoured to support you through each phase of your journey including pregnancy, postpartum and beyond. Let’s talk about how we can get started!
Do you find yourself experiencing emotional distress and discover that your usual coping mechanisms no longer work?
Are you struggling to communicate or connect effectively with your loved ones?
Are you a parent who is feeling overwhelmed with
day-to-day life and struggling to find joy?
Are you feeling lost, stuck or out of touch with who you are or once were?
You don’t have to carry these burdens alone. Let’s create meaningful change together!

How it works
What is talk therapy?
Talk therapy is an effective means for change and can help you to discover ways to resolve the issues you are facing.
Through therapy, you will begin to acquire understanding, experience progress, and find happiness. Although formally trained in many different therapeutic approaches, I am focused on providing you with what you need, using the approach that works best for you, while creating a warm and supportive environment.
I work with individuals in all phases of life, with a strong focus on fertility, pregnancy, postpartum and parenting stages. I have received Maternal Mental Health training and certification in Perinatal Mental Health.
