Perinatal & Postpartum Therapy

Specialized therapy for fertility struggles, pregnancy challenges, birth trauma, and postpartum healing.

You wanted this journey to feel different. Maybe you've been trying to conceive longer than expected. Maybe pregnancy brought anxiety instead of joy. Maybe birth didn't go as planned. Perhaps postpartum feels nothing like what you imagined.

Whether you're struggling to get pregnant, navigating a difficult pregnancy, processing a traumatic birth, or finding your way through postpartum, your experience matters. Your pain is real. And healing is possible.

You might be here because you want to:

  • Find support through fertility struggles and the emotional weight they carry

  • Navigate pregnancy anxiety, loss, or complicated feelings about becoming a mother

  • Feel more connected and bonded with your baby after birth

  • Process your birth experience without judgment about how it went

  • Reclaim your sense of self while embracing motherhood

  • Work through postpartum anxiety, depression, or intrusive thoughts with someone who gets it

  • Find peace with your body through all these transitions

  • Create meaning from your experience, even when it's been difficult

In therapy, you'll:

  • Receive support tailored to wherever you are in your journey to motherhood

  • Process fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, or complicated pregnancies with compassionate care

  • Honor your birth story—all of it—while working toward healing

  • Develop the bond with your baby you've been hoping for

  • Navigate identity shifts at any stage with support and understanding

  • Rebuild trust with your body through conception, pregnancy, birth, and beyond

  • Find yourself again while growing into the mother you want to be

What Makes This Work Different

This isn’t just therapy for your thoughts.
This is therapy for your whole self.

My approach is:

  • EMDR: Helping your brain to reprocess stuck emotional experiences + somatically stored trauma

  • Nervous system + trauma attuned: We move at the pace your body can safely hold

  • Spiritually open: Space for your dreams, rituals, intuitions, and inner knowing - I work at the intersection of science and spirituality (nothing is too woo or weird for our conversations)

  • Rooted in respect: You are your own greatest healer, and I am here to help open the pathway for that to happen.

Meet Jessica

Hi, I’m Jessica, a licensed Canadian therapist and breathwork guide. I work with intuitive, sensitive, creative people who want more than just symptom relief, they want deep transformation that feels real, and lasts.

Some of my clients come in with deep self-awareness. Others are still trying to name what hurts. All of them want change that sticks, not just in their heads, but in their hearts, their bodies, their lives.

My work blends EMDR, breathwork, trauma-informed care, and soul-centric listening. It’s rooted in science, shaped by intuition, and grounded in the belief: You already have what you need. Let’s help you access it.

You deserve support that honors all of you

I currently offer virtual individual therapy and couples counselling for residents of:
BC, AB, SK, MB, NL, YT, NU, and NWT.

This is your invitation to begin.
