Perinatal Services
Jennifer works with families and couples during the perinatal period. Jennifer has a specialized understanding in birth trauma for the birthing person and infant and how it may impact mental health and attachment.
Jennifer can help the family develop a ‘support plan’ which includes professionals, family and friends and how they may help during this period. I work in partnership with community partners to provide holistic support to the family.
Jennifer also provide support to couples adjusting to their new roles as parents and the difficulties that may come with that. When working with couples I use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) techniques. When working with individuals in the perinatal I use an eclectic approach which consist of CBT/DBT and somatic experiencing.
Jennifer is also partnered with Restful Parenting who are sleep consultants and offer both sleep and parenting support. They have extensive knowledge of little people and how they function, to create a sleep program that is flexible and individualized to the family and especially the child. Although they focus on sleep, they offer parenting support to help with tantrums/setting limits, healthy eating, toilet training, preparing for childcare and other challenges you may face as a parent.
