How I Support You

Stacked black and grey stones representing balance and resilience through stress, caregiving demands, and emotional life transitions.

You don’t have to navigate this on your own.

My work is grounded in public health, mental health, and years of walking alongside individuals and families through times of change. Whether you’re adjusting to life with a new baby, carrying the weight of caregiving, or feeling stretched in ways that are hard to name, I offer space that is thoughtful, steady, and responsive to your needs.

Support doesn’t have to wait until things feel overwhelming. Many people come simply because they want steadier footing during life transitions, caregiving, or early parenthood.

Here are some of the areas I support:

Support for New Parents

The transition into parenthood can be tender, overwhelming, and everything in between.

I support new parents in navigating:

  • Emotional adjustment and identity shifts

  • Anxiety, mood changes, and overwhelm

  • Feeding, bonding, and early relationship development

  • Making sense of conflicting information and expectations

This is a space to slow things down, ask questions, and find your footing in a way that feels right for you.


Support for Caregivers and Helping Professionals

Caring for others—whether children, aging parents, loved ones, or in a professional role —can be meaningful, but also demanding in ways that are often invisible.

Together, we can explore:

  • Burnout, stress, and emotional fatigue

  • Boundaries and capacity

  • Navigating complex systems (healthcare, education, community supports)

  • Reconnecting with your own needs and wellbeing

Support here is practical, reflective, and grounded in your real life.


Clinical Sleep Support (CBT-I)

I provide Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) for adults, typically through referral from sleep clinics or healthcare providers, although self-referral is also welcome.

This structured, evidence-based approach supports individuals experiencing persistent sleep difficulties, including:

  • Difficulty falling or staying asleep

  • Chronic insomnia

  • Sleep-related anxiety

If you have been referred for CBT-I, or are exploring whether this approach may be appropriate, you can learn more below.


Support Through Times of Uncertainty or Life Transitions

Sometimes life can feel uncertain. Even expected changes can feel disorienting or harder than anticipated.

This may include:

  • Returning to work after leave

  • Career or identity shifts

  • Changes in health or family roles

  • Preconception or fertility

  • A general sense that things feel "off" or unsettled

This space offers room to reflect, process, and move forward with greater clarity and steadiness.


When You Need More Support

At times, things can feel more intense, persistent, or overwhelming.

If you’re experiencing:

  • Ongoing distress that isn’t easing

  • Difficulty functioning day-to-day

  • A sense that you may need more structured or specialized care

We can talk together about what level of support would be most helpful, and whether this space is the right fit—or help connect you.
