A Psycho-social assessment or Psychological Evaluation is a requirement for all surrogates and sometimes Intended Parents as part of the medical screening done at a fertility clinic.
Psycho-social assessments are 90 minutes in length and the purpose is to go over any relevant family, medical or psychological history to be adequately prepared and screened to proceed. For Intended Parents using a donor, this assessment also included genetic counselling and implications of donor conception.
This session includes time to ask questions and be provided accurate information and best practices.
A clearance letter and report will be written and sent directly to your fertility clinic to be added to yours, or your surrogates medical file. -
Sometimes you just need to talk with someone who understands how hard fertility treatments can be. I provide a safe, confidential and trauma informed space for individuals and couples who are looking for support.
The best part?! These sessions are 100% virtual meaning they can be accessed from the comfort of your own home.

Postpartum depression and anxiety doesn’t discriminate and it can affect anyone who has given birth or has a newborn at home. Even those who had children via IVF, IUI or through surrogacy can still develop symptoms.
I am here to provide you the safe space to process a difficult birth or the array of postpartum emotions.
You don’t ever have to feel alone.

Plus recommendations for lawyers, agencies, clinics and support along the way.

Going through the loss of a pregnancy is extremely difficult and grief counselling is an important aspects of healing. I provide counselling for all aspects of loss including loss of embryos, chemical pregnancies or those who have chosen to terminate a pregnancy as well as miscarriages and still births.
Grief counselling involves processing the difficult feelings and emotions, setting boundaries with well-meaning family and friends and advocating for your own self-care needs as you grieve.
Your loss matters and you don't have to go through it alone.
