Red Raspberry Counselling

Registered Social Worker (BSW, RSW)

Hello!
I’m Julie-Anne

I’m a registered social worker with over 20 years of experience in the perinatal field supporting individuals and families. I specialize in perinatal mental health and reproductive trauma, grief and loss, and also walk alongside people facing trauma, and other life challenges. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and centered on creating a space where your story is met with care. Having lived most of my life in Northeastern Ontario, I’m proud to now call Kirkland Lake home, where I’ve recently moved with my family. I offer both virtual and in-person counselling so you can access support in the way that feels right for you, and I’m pleased to provide virtual counselling to people across Ontario.

I also provide facilitation and training for organizations and workplaces seeking to create trauma-informed spaces, build mental health awareness, and foster emotionally safe environments.

For those working with or alongside people in reproductive or perinatal stages, I offer facilitation and training that covers trauma-informed care, advocacy, and effective support for challenges such as fertility journeys, reproductive trauma, perinatal mood disorders, and pregnancy and infant loss.

I am currently completing my Master of Social Work (MSW) at the University of Victoria. As part of my academic work, I collaborate as a researcher on the Inuit Perinatal Health Hub Project team.
