Reproductive Mental Health Counselling in the Comox Valley
Reproductive mental health is deeply personal to me. My own experience with the complexities of becoming a mother — including adoption and in vitro fertilization — is what drew me to this work. I understand firsthand that the path to parenthood is rarely straightforward, and the emotions that come with it deserve to be honoured, not minimized.
I provide therapy for a range of reproductive mental health concerns including fertility challenges, surrogacy, miscarriage, perinatal loss, the identity shift of new parenthood, perimenopause, and menopause. Each of these experiences carries its own unique grief, joy, fear, and transformation.
Many new and expecting parents in Comox, Courtenay, and the broader Comox Valley struggle to find therapists who truly understand the nuances of reproductive mental health. This isn't just "regular" anxiety or depression — it's woven into your identity as a parent, your relationship with your body, your partnership, and your hopes for your family. I get that, and I hold space for all of it.
In our sessions, I use a combination of evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs, including Emotionally Focused Therapy, CBT, person-centered, and strength-based approaches. Whether you need help processing a difficult experience, managing the overwhelm of new parenthood, navigating perimenopause, or grieving a loss that others may not fully understand, I'm here.
You don't have to be in crisis to reach out. If something feels off — if you're not enjoying parenthood the way you expected, if anxiety is stealing your peace, if grief feels stuck, if hormonal changes are affecting your wellbeing — those are all valid reasons to seek support. I offer sessions in-person at Comox Valley Counselling in Courtenay, as well as virtually or by phone.
