NDG THERAPY
Supporting your reproductive mental health
ABOUT THE NDG THERAPY
My psychotherapy practice supports women and their partners before, during, and after the birth of a baby.
I also offer bereavement support in the event of a perinatal loss whether due to abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth, pregnancy interruption and neonatal death (up to 12 months of age), and for couples dealing with fertility issues.
​
I treat perinatal and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, and offer support groups for postpartum women (ABC - After Baby Comes Support Group), pregnancy after loss (A Different Pregnancy Support Group), and a prenatal workshop on the transition to parenting (Partnering in Parenting).
ABOUT ME
I earned a M.A. in Counselling Psychology from McGill University in 2011, and am a licensed psychotherapist with l'Ordre des psychologues du Québec (OPQ #60691-14).
I completed post-graduate training at the Postpartum Stress Centre in Philadelphia in 2014, and with Postpartum Support International in 2015. I am also the Quebec Coordinator (Anglophone Community) for Postpartum Support International (PSI).
My approach falls into the humanistic and constructivist counselling traditions which rest on the importance of compassion, collaboration, and the conviction that the client possesses the resources and the resilience to help him- or herself. My job is to facilitate healing and the change the client is seeking.
