It is estimated that between 15 to 20 of Canadian pregnancies end in miscarriage, according to the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada. A miscarriage can be profoundly troubling for a couple because as soon as you know you are pregnant, you begin to form an emotional attachment to your fetus. Some couples have been trying to have a child for many years and are devastated when the pregnancy fails. Couples can also find themselves in limbo, as they have geared up to become a parent, only to have this possibility ripped away.
An abortion is another type of pregnancy loss that can have lasting consequences for women. Guilt, shame, grief, loss, and feelings of abandonment can surface later in life. Finding a therapist who appreciates the depth of despair and anxiety associated with these losses is useful. Book today for a consultation if you are experiencing this type of loss.
Postpartum Depression may start any time within a month or year after childbirth and lasts for weeks or months. In some serious cases it may progress to chronic episodes of depression. Early professional help is advisable.
After the delivery of your child, the body continues to go through changes, physiologically, emotionally, psychologically, and socially. These changes may feel confusing, overwhelming, and undesirable. Intense emotions of joy, anxiety, fear, sadness, and happiness may be felt all at once. The lack of sleep, pain associated with breastfeeding, lack of support, crying frequently are all symptoms that are important to talk about. Dads can also experience depression. Let us work together to help you how to best manage these changes.

Postpartum depression can feel isolating and overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. If you’re struggling with feelings of sadness, anxiety, or disconnection after giving birth, I’m here to support you. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can be an effective approach for mothers experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety. The emotional challenges following childbirth can sometimes be tied to traumatic experiences, whether related to the birth itself, early motherhood, or previous unresolved issues. EMDR helps process these emotions, reducing distress and enabling you to regain a sense of calm and control. By addressing and reprocessing difficult memories or emotions, EMDR can support your healing journey, helping you move toward emotional balance and a deeper connection with yourself and your baby. You deserve to feel supported and empowered as you navigate this phase of life.

Perinatal mood disorders may also be referred to as Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD). Perinatal mood disorders are related to mood symptoms that occur during pregnancy or up to one year postpartum. The most common types of mood disorders are depression, dysthymia, anxiety, and postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder. There can also be Bipolar Disorder, Postpartum Psychosis, or substance-induced mood disorders that may appear.

Although it is normal to have what is colloquially known as the “baby blues” following the birth of a child, this tends to naturally go away not too long after. PPD can start during the pregnancy to one year after the birth of a child, where the sufferer will show the typical effects of depression which affects their mood; the way they feel about themselves, how they relate to others, and how they interact with the rest of the world. Ultimately, PPD affects people from many different walks of life, regardless of the ease or difficulty of the pregnancy, whether they are a first-time parent or have other children, whether they are married or not, and regardless of socioeconomic status, education, and cultural background.
