Hi there!
Hi, I’m Erin. I’m a psychologist and mum of three.
Parenthood has a way of turning life upside down—the joy, the exhaustion, and everything in between. I know that mix well, and I’m here to support you through it.
I work with mothers as they move through the big changes that come with welcoming a child. Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, each journey is different, and each one deserves to be held with care.
Support can be helpful at any stage—not only in the hardest moments. I’m here to listen to your concerns, hold space for you, and walk alongside you at whatever stage you’re in.
I support women from conception and far beyond. This reflects what I know to be true: that each mother will face their own unique challenges at different points in their mothering journey and at different developmental stages that their children are moving through. I hold mothers across these moments in time and continue to do so as long as you need.
What It’s Like Working With me
The mothers I see come with a wide range of needs, including:
Emotional support through the adjustment to parenthood
Exploring identity shifts through matrescence
Preparing for birth and adjusting to life afterwards
Managing social and cultural pressures
Understanding guilt and shame in parenting
Support with anger and rage
Fertility, adoption, and surrogacy journeys
Support for non-birthing parents
Healing from birth trauma
Strengthening bonding and attachment with baby
Building confidence in play and parenting
Making sense of how your past impacts your parenting
Coping with sleep deprivation, body changes, and recovery from birth
Planning to grow your family
Grief and loss, including parenting after loss
My approach is grounded in matrescence, self-compassion, mindfulness, gratitude, and attachment.
In practice, that means creating a safe and steady space where you can share openly, explore what feels heavy, and reconnect with what matters most to you.
I draw on a range of therapeutic tools, always guided by evidence-based and trauma-informed practice. At the heart of it all, I believe there’s no “perfect” way to parent—just the way that feels right for you and your family.
