Pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into parenthood can be overwhelming, and it’s common to need extra support during these times. Whether you’re navigating the challenges of pregnancy, adjusting to life with a newborn, or trying to balance your new role as a parent, therapy can provide the space and support you need.
I specialize in providing therapy for individuals and couples during the perinatal period and early stages of parenthood. With warm, non-judgmental guidance, we’ll work together to address your unique challenges and help you find balance during this transformative phase of life.
THERAPY FOR PERINATAL MENTAL HEALTH
Take the First Step Toward Support
If you’re experiencing challenges during pregnancy, postpartum, or early parenthood, therapy can be a powerful tool for healing and growth. I’m here to help you navigate this transformative period with support, empathy, and guidance.
Common Challenges During Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Parenthood
Becoming a parent comes with many emotional, mental, and physical changes. Some common challenges that clients face during this time include:
Mood Changes & Anxiety: Pregnancy and the postpartum period can bring sudden drops in mood, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts, which are often exacerbated by exhaustion.
Body Image Concerns: For individuals with a history of body image issues or disordered eating, pregnancy and postpartum body changes can feel especially difficult.
Communication Difficulties: You may be struggling to communicate your needs and wants, especially with your partner, as you navigate the complexities of parenthood.
Balancing Parenthood and Life: Finding a new balance between parenting, your career, relationships, and personal identity can be challenging.
Social Anxiety and Identity Changes: Parenthood often brings up fears about being “good enough,” changes in your relationship dynamics, social anxiety around other parents, and shifts in your personal identity.
Whatever you’re going through, therapy can be a safe space to work through these feelings and challenges, and develop strategies for finding peace and stability in your new reality.
Specialized Therapy for Perinatal MENTAL HEALTH
I offer therapy designed to support individuals and couples through the unique challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. With specialized training and certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International, I provide compassionate care for those navigating this important life transition.
I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based therapies, and depth-oriented therapies to help you process difficult emotions, build resilience, and develop coping strategies. Our work together will focus on nurturing your mental health and well-being as you navigate this transformative period in your life.
Baby Is Welcome: ONLINE Therapy FOR NEW PARENTS
I understand how difficult it can be to find or make use of childcare, especially in the early stages of parenthood. That’s why you’re welcome to bring your baby to sessions. Whether it’s nursing, soothing, or dealing with a crying baby, I’m here to support you through it all.
In addition to in-person sessions, I also offer virtual therapy to make it easier for you to access support during this busy and tender time. Virtual sessions can be a more flexible and convenient way to integrate therapy into your day while managing the demands of your new role as a parent.
