Perinatal / Postnatal

Regain feeling like yourself while understanding your emotions and building your trust as a parent.

Navigate parenthood with confidence

I watched my mom go through 2 other pregnancies and give birth to 3 other children. While I was elated to have new friends and siblings, I also noticed differences in my parents during and after each pregnancy. I was curious why it was so different and later found out, my parents had the same questions without any resolve.

Navigating pregnancy can be an emotional rollercoaster, full of unexpected twists and turns. Some days, you might feel like you have everything under control, and on others, it can feel like the ground beneath you is constantly shifting. Your priorities change, your view of the world evolves, and it can be hard to recognize the person you once were. It’s easy to feel like you’re losing your grip, like you’re giving everything just to show up each day.

But you don’t have to go through this alone. Together, we’ll create a safe space where you can express everything you’re experiencing—without judgment. We’ll explore what’s really going on inside you, develop tools to help you navigate this challenging time, and work step by step to help you regain your sense of self, power, and confidence. You deserve to feel grounded and in control, and we’ll get there, one day at a time

  • Postpartum depression can feel like a fog. Some of the common symptoms are feeling sad, crying frequently, irritability, anger, and difficulty sleeping. You may have feelings of doubt in your ability to be a parent, or fears that you would do something to harm yourself or your baby. These are all common ways that people with a perinatal mood disorder may feel in the 12 months following the birth of a child. Therapy has been shown to be quite effective in improving your mood, allowing you to accept the changes in your life, and giving you space to find your way as a new mom.

  • Feeling disconnected from your baby is a symptom of a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder (called PMADS). You are overwhelmed, lacking sleep, and trying to adjust to the biggest change in your life. It can be hard to feel connected to your baby during this time. However, a professional therapist experienced in this area can help you connect to your baby.
