Pregnancy, birth, and parenting can be hard. 
Let's lighten your load. 

As a perinatal mental health counsellor and midwife, I am here to support you on your pregnancy and postnatal journey. 

If you need to talk about depression, anxiety, birth trauma, feeding dramas, and relationship worries, I'm here to listen without judgement and help you map your own path.  

I have been a registered nurse-midwife for 18 years, walking alongside countless families as they take their first steps together. I have cared for families in parent-infant units, telephone helplines, and in the community. 

In my role as Tasmania's Clinical Care Navigator in the ForWhen Program, I am available for brief counselling and clinical service connection for expectant and new parents, including those with current or past eating disorders. My approach is trauma-informed and inclusive of diverse gender identities and neurodivergence.

ForWhen is funded by the Commonwealth Government, and is free of charge for parents all over Australia, including partners and non-birth parents.
