COUPLES COUNSELLING — Mahone Bay, NS

For couples on Nova Scotia's South Shore, in Lunenburg, Mahone Bay, or virtually anywhere in NS or Ontario, who are struggling, not necessarily ending, but not okay either.

We work on:

• Communication patterns that keep you stuck in the same fight

• Emotional disconnection and the distance that builds when life gets hard

• Rebuilding trust after ruptures, whether it be affairs, betrayals, or chronic conflict

• Navigating major transitions: new baby, blended family, illness, loss, identity shifts

• Mixed-orientation couples, late-in-life coming out, and identity transitions within long-term relationships

• Deciding together what you want your relationship to look like, or whether you want it at all

PERINATAL & POSTPARTUM COUNSELLING — South Shore, Nova Scotia

The transition to parenthood is one of the most underestimated relationship stressors there is. Everything shifts — identity, intimacy, roles, sleep, priorities — and most couples are completely unprepared for what that does to their relationship, and to themselves. As co-founder of the South Shore Perinatal Wellness Collective, this is work I know from the inside.

I work with:

• Couples experiencing significant relationship strain in pregnancy or postpartum

• Individuals experiencing perinatal or postpartum anxiety, depression, rage, or grief

• New parents navigating identity loss, role confusion, and the complicated emotions early parenthood brings

• LGBTQ+ families navigating the particular terrain of assisted conception, adoption, and new parenthood.
