Hello!

I’m Kathleen. It’s awesome to meet you.

Motherhood can be a beautiful time of blissful joy. It can also be drastically different than expectations and involve feelings of confusion, overwhelm, and devastating sorrow. When our reality differs from our dreams and we find ourselves struggling, there is opportunity, and there is hope! I author my journey of motherhood as one of unravelling and rebirth- and what a gift it all has been. I believe motherhood is a privilege, as well as one of the most difficult roles in the world, and one that no woman should experience alone.

I believe that every story deserves a space to be told, and every woman deserves the opportunity to feel confidence, joy, connection and vitality in her mind, body, spirit, and relationships.

Motherhood is an opportunity for love to bloom- love for self, baby, family, and community. For over ten years, I have worked with individuals, children, and families. My passion for supporting women and mothers is inspired by my experiences of bearing witness to the life stories of adults and children alike, as well as being a mother myself. I believe that women and mothers are the foundation of our communities; the thread that weaves us all together who are uniquely poised to build vibrant and connected communities. However, to do this we first must have the opportunity to be well ourselves.

My practice is relational, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive. Above all I aim to create a warm, safe, and compassionate space for you to explore and nourish your mind and spirit. I believe you have inherent wisdom and endeavour to help you grow to trust it. I incorporate strengths-based and solution focused approaches into practice and have specialized training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Circle of Security Parenting (COS-P).

I am currently completing a Canadian Certificate in Perinatal Mental Health (CC-PMH) and am a Registered Social Worker in Ontario holding both a Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) and Master of Social Work.

I support women wherever they may be in relation to motherhood including throughout the perinatal period, with experiences such as mood and anxiety concerns, identity transitions, parenting, loss, and relationships. Within this role, I am constantly humbled and amazed at the strength and love of mothers that defy all natural laws. It is my hope that mothers celebrate their innate beauty and love themselves with grace, giving themselves permission to be present, not perfect.
