The road to becoming a parent during infertility and pregnancy loss can be traumatic and isolating. During therapy sessions, I help clients gain clarity during this painful time and develop a plan of healing. I bring extensive knowledge and experience to my practice, with specialized postgraduate training in fertility counseling. I am also certified in Perinatal Mental Health, focusing on anxiety, depression, and other perinatal stressors both during the pregnancy and in the months after delivery. I cannot think of a greater professional privilege than providing counseling to my clients on their journey to building a family and navigating the transition to parenthood.

Maureen was highly skilled at handling conflicts and knowledgeable with her therapeutic skills. An example would be my observation of her interactions with people and how she was able to utilize higher levels of decision making to handle challenges in her training. She was also good at building rapport with people she worked with.
