Perinatal Mental Health Therapy
Whether you're trying to conceive, navigating pregnancy, adjusting to life with a new baby, or struggling with the emotional challenges of motherhood, I'm here to help you feel more grounded, supported, and connected to yourself during this transformative season of life.
the transition to parenthood can be different than you expected
You imagined becoming a parent would feel joyful and natural. Instead, you may find yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or emotionally exhausted.
Perhaps your journey has included fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, a high-risk pregnancy, birth trauma, or unexpected complications. Maybe you're constantly worrying about your baby's well-being, struggling to adjust to the changes in your body and identity, or wondering why everything feels so much harder than you thought it would be.You may feel overstimulated, irritable, lonely, or guilty if you'e not enjoying every moment.
If you're experiencing postpartum anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, perfectionism, or simply feeling unlike yourself, you're not alone, and you don't have to carry it all by yourself.
you can feel like yourself again, one step at a time
The transition into motherhood often changes nearly every aspect of life. Your relationships, priorities, routines, and sense of identity may all feel different than they once did. It can be difficult to recognize yourself in the midst of so much change.
In our work together, we'll create space for your full experience—the joys, the grief, the uncertainty, and everything in between. We'll explore what matters most to you, strengthen your connection to your values, and help you develop tools to navigate the challenges of this season with greater confidence and self-compassion.
My goal is to help you feel grounded and connected to your core values as you grow into this new version of yourself. My style as a therapist is warm, compassionate, and conversational. I tailor each session to the unique needs of each client and draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
how therapy can help
perinatal anxiety
If you're constantly worrying, feeling on edge, or struggling with intrusive thoughts, therapy can help you develop practical tools to manage anxiety, calm your nervous system, and feel more present in your daily life.
birth and reproductive trauma
Whether you've experienced a traumatic birth, pregnancy complications, fertility challenges, or reproductive loss, therapy can help you make sense of what happened, process your experience, and move forward with greater healing and resilience.
postpartum depression
When motherhood feels heavier than expected, therapy provides a supportive space to process difficult emotions, rebuild self-compassion, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may feel lost.
