perinatal mental health

You are not alone and you are not to blame.

However you are feeling, you deserve help and support.

  • It is never too early or too late to get started. There is so much we can do to help you prepare for the birth and postpartum experience you want and deserve.

  • The perinatal period is not always as blissful as society portrays it. I love helping clients overcome anxiety and learn to manage stress more effectively.

  • Growing your family often means growing into new roles and facing external pressures. Many people experience shifting relationship dynamics during this time. You may need help learning how to set boundaries or enlist support.

  • Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) affect 1 in 5 moms and 1 in 10 dads. They can occur at any point in the period surrounding pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Therapy can help you understand what is happening and begin to move forward.

  • Living with this kind of hardship can be so difficult. You may need an ally or an advocate - a place for your voice to be heard.

  • Caregivers need support too! You witness so much and sometimes need a space of your own to process and release.

grief & loss

Your grief is unique, but you’re not alone.

I am ready to listen and to walk with you through the tasks of mourning.

  • There are physical, mental, and emotional symptoms of grief and they can feel overwhelming at times. I will meet you where you are and help you to make sense of your new reality.

  • Grief is more than death. You can grieve the ending of relationship, the loss of a dream, or the closing of a chapter. All grief matters.

  • There are many misconceptions about grief and loss. I can break down those misconceptions and help you to understand your unique grief experience.

  • Even when we have a well-meaning support system, society is generally ill-equipped to help us cope with grief. You deserve attentive, compassionate, and personalized care.

  • My training in perinatal mental health makes me uniquely equipped to help you cope with these types of loss.

  • Caregivers need support too! You carry an extraordinary load and I’m here to help you ease the weight.
