I offer perinatal and postpartum mental health care for moms and moms to be. I know the transition into parenthood is exciting — but it can also be scary and tough. Therapy can help you manage all these experiences.
Therapy can help you recognize, understand, and manage the thoughts and feelings that are causing so much difficulty and overwhelm.
You can feel confident navigating this new part of your life, while learning to communicate your feelings, needs, and boundaries.
You can find more safety in and connection with your body again.
Maybe you’re feeling excited and hopeful about being pregnant, but you’re starting to notice yourself worry about the baby more and more often.
If you’ve struggled with infertility or pregnancy loss, and this pregnancy feels somehow both joyful and triggering.
You value having a place to focus on your mental health as part of a holistic plan for your pregnancy and beyond.
Are you an expectant mom?
Your relationships have shifted since having the baby, including your relationship with your partner, yourself, friends, and family. Sometimes it’s really lonely.
You may be realizing that you and your partner aren’t on the same page about your new roles after all.
But you don’t feel like yourself since having your baby, and you don’t love all the parts of being a mom, which feels awful and is not what you expected.
Delivery was hard or even traumatic, and it all feels too big and scary to process.
You’re irritable, sad, and worry about so many things. You’ve never been this exhausted in your life. You feel like you’re failing at everything, including controlling your own emotions. You find yourself thinking you’re the only mom struggling like this (you’re not, I promise).
Returning to work has been so much harder than you could have possibly known. You’re wondering more and more how anyone makes this all work without losing their minds.
Maybe you’re a new mom...
Get to know and appreciate this new version of yourself
Feel more confident in your ability to manage the new and different roles in your life, so you have time for your family and friends.

If you’re being completely honest with yourself, the adjustment to caring for this little human is kicking your ass! I understand, and I’ve been there, which also means I know that counseling can help.
