Isabelle is a Registered Social Worker. Originally from East Africa and identifies as a Black African-Canadian woman. She is blessed with three amazing children and lives in Saskatchewan.

Isabelle’s passion for providing therapy to families experiencing perinatal mental health issues stems from her own lived experiences during pregnancy and immediately after the birth of her last child. She suffered alone for multiple years. Isabelle could not share with anyone, especially in her community, where stigma around mental health continues to exist. It wasn’t until she coincidentally attended a conference on perinatal mental health in 2018 that she met many women who shared struggles with mental health. It was then that she realized, oh, it’s a ‘thing’ actually to have mental health during pregnancy and postpartum. Isabelle felt validated that she was not alone and there was help. This led to her journey of healing for herself and another journey to help other childbearing families.

Isabelle graduated with a Master of Social Work from Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville, Illinois, and has over a decade of experience. Isabelle’s work is guided by using a lens of trauma-informed, cultural humility, and anti-oppressive.

Her treatment modalities include attachment, Circle of Security Parenting, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Isabelle has completed the Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Certificate Course through Postpartum Support International and is working towards getting the Perinatal Mental Health Certification. Isabelle strives for lifelong learning to keep up to date with training in mental health.

Isabelle considers it a privilege and an honour to journey along with individuals struggling with mental health. She strives to create a culturally safe space as she understands how difficult it can be to be vulnerable in sharing mental health issues.

When she is not working, she values, protects, and prioritizes self-care by creating opportunities for family time, prayer, meditation, movies, gardening, mentoring, reading, cooking, and travelling for “ocean therapy” for “Vitamin Sea” whenever possible.

Isabelle accommodates evening and Saturday schedules.
