Pregnancy and Postpartum Therapy - Navigating Parenthood with Empathy and Support
While this time is filled with excitement and joy, it's also okay to experience a range of emotions, uncertainties, and challenges. Perhaps this is not how you imagined it would go, or you are feeling overwhelmed by the experience.
As a perinatal mental health certified (PMH-C) therapist, I provide compassionate support tailored to your unique needs during this transformative stage of life.
Pregnancy and The Postpartum Period Bring Forth a Range of Emotions, From Feelings of Love to Guilt, Frustration, and Grief.
From the anticipation of new life to the adjustments that come with parenthood, it's not uncommon to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or isolated. You may find yourself grappling with the pressure to be the "perfect" parent, the fear of the unknown, or the challenges of balancing your well-being with that of your growing family.
In our therapy sessions, I create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can openly explore and express your feelings. Our goal is to help you move from a place of discomfort and uncertainty to one of confidence, self-compassion, and joy. Through my own experience as a mom, I understand the desire to feel empowered, connected, and equipped to navigate the beautiful yet challenging journey of parenthood.
We will address the emotional aspects of pregnancy and postpartum experiences, acknowledging that every individual's journey is unique. Together, we'll work on managing stress, building coping strategies, and fostering resilience to help you thrive during this significant life transition.

Embarking on the path of parenthood is a remarkable and transformative experience. I am here to guide you through the challenges and celebrate the joys.
