Perinatal & Postpartum Therapy
I honor that every perinatal journey is unique and layered. Whether you’re coping with pregnancy anxiety, birth trauma, complications, or the transition to parenthood hasn’t gone as expected, I am here to provide support. Through therapy, even the most challenging experiences can become opportunities for healing, repair, and renewed connection with yourself and your baby. I provide compassionate care for prenatal and postpartum mental health, offering guidance, coping tools, and a safe space to process emotions during this transformative time.
It’s Okay to Need Support for Your Unique Perinatal Journey
Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, sadness, or overwhelm during pregnancy or postpartum, know that these feelings are normal and valid. Many women share the same challenges, from infertility and birth trauma to complications or unexpected difficulties adjusting to new parenthood. Therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to process your emotions, regain balance, and feel understood.
Common Challenges During Pregnancy & Prenatal Care
It’s completely normal to experience a range of emotions and challenges during pregnancy. Therapy can help you navigate these feelings, process difficult experiences, and provide support for your mental and emotional well-being. Many women face:
Managing pre-existing mental health conditions that may be affected or intensified by pregnancy
Struggling with perinatal mood disorders, including prenatal depression or anxiety
Coping with traumatic birth experiences, pregnancy loss, or complications
Navigating infertility or fertility treatments
Therapy offers a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your emotions, develop coping strategies, and feel supported through this transformative season of life.
Common Postpartum Challenges & Emotional Support
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected after childbirth is completely normal, and you are not alone. Therapy can provide a safe space to process your emotions, develop coping strategies, and receive support as you adjust to this new season of life. Many new mothers experience:
Symptoms of postpartum depression or anxiety
Coping with traumatic birth experiences or infant loss
Adjusting to the new demands of parenthood and changes in family dynamics
Managing pre-existing mental health conditions that may be affected by childbirth
Through therapy, you can feel supported, understood, and empowered to navigate the emotional ups and downs of postpartum life with confidence and care.
I Provide Guidance and Healing Through the Challenges of Pregnancy & Postpartum
Navigating pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period can be emotionally and physically overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your emotions, process difficult experiences, and feel truly heard. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, birth trauma, or the challenges of adjusting to parenthood, I work with you to identify patterns, develop coping strategies, and build emotional resilience. My goal is to help you not only manage the difficulties you’re facing but also rediscover connection, confidence, and well-being during this transformative season of life.
A Compassionate, Collaborative Approach to Perinatal Support
Not only do I have lived experience navigating the many transitions of pregnancy and postpartum, I also hold specialized credentials to support the unique challenges that can arise during this period. I focus on creating a connected, understanding, and supportive relationship with each client. I see each person coming to therapy as the expert in their own life, even when they are navigating experiences that feel overwhelming or unfamiliar. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your challenges, build coping strategies, and facilitate healing and growth.
My approach is open, non-judgmental, and collaborative. I draw on a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Person-Centered, Attachment-Based, Cognitive Behavioral, Interpersonal, and Psychodynamic approaches. My goal is for you to leave therapy with a stronger connection to yourself, your baby, and your life as a parent, feeling supported and empowered along the way.
