Practice Information
MaternalCare Counselling is a safe and loving space for you to take care of yourself so you can regain confidence and be the mama you were meant to be. You deserve to be supported so you can find balance again. Despite the messages that still persist, you were not meant to go on this journey into motherhood alone - in fact our culture is one of very few in the world that expects this of mothers.
My sessions are done using video counselling making access to the support you need readily available and convenient - let’s make life easier not harder! I also see clients including pre-teens and teens using the walk and talk nature therapy model. You can work with me from the comfort of your home at a time that works for you or join me outdoors.
There is a lot of shame and pressure mom’s feel. If you feel overwhelmed and like you’re failing as a mom - trust me I’ve been there too - I promise you are not a failure. These feelings are normal, universal even, and I’m here to help you sort through it all so you can get back to your happy place.
My Philosophy
I believe that we are all born good. Human beings are wired for connection and thrive under conditions where stable, healthy attachments are present. Through our environment and experiences we adopt coping mechanisms that aren’t always to our advantage. Human beings possess the incredible capacity however, to grow, learn, and adapt. We are resilient and our human spirit - the desire to find or maintain that goodness with which we were born - is always under the surface waiting to be set free when we lose our way. Often, we need some help with this - that is where therapy becomes a gift to oneself and those who we love and who love us.
