We provide individual counselling for people navigating the complexities of health, fertility, grief, and major life transitions. This may include support with infertility, cancer and oncofertility, surrogacy, reproductive loss, perinatal and postpartum challenges, or other life-altering experiences that can leave lasting impacts.

My approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in both professional training and lived experience. Having personally walked through infertility, cancer, and surrogacy, I bring a deep understanding of the emotional weight these journeys carry. Together, we’ll create a space where you can process what you’re carrying, find meaning in your story, and develop strategies that feel supportive for where you are now.

Sessions are held virtually, making them accessible and flexible no matter where you are in your journey.

Surrogacy Counselling

Defining Journeys offers counselling tailored to intended parents navigating surrogacy in Canada. Services include:
• Initial counselling sessions – a comprehensive introduction to the A–Z of surrogacy in Canada, covering legal, medical, emotional, and relational aspects of the process.
• Follow-up sessions – for those who have purchased a Surrogacy Counselling Multipack and wish to continue receiving support throughout their journey.
• One-time sessions – flexible, standalone appointments to address specific questions or situations as they arise.

Whether you are just beginning to explore surrogacy, actively preparing for treatment, or seeking ongoing support, these sessions provide informed guidance and a safe space to process the practical and emotional complexities of the surrogacy journey.

Defining Journeys offers implications counselling and assessments for individuals and couples pursuing fertility treatment, including IVF and third-party reproduction (egg, sperm, or embryo donation, or the use of a surrogate). These sessions create a safe and supportive space to explore the emotional, ethical, and practical considerations involved, while also meeting the requirements set out by fertility clinics.

Each service includes one counselling session and one written report, which clients can provide directly to their clinic as part of the approval process. Additional time or fees may apply, and these will always be confirmed in advance.

With extensive experience in the surrogacy and IVF community, I bring both professional expertise and a deep understanding of the unique complexities of these journeys to every session and report.
