Empowering You to Achieve Happiness

You are pregnant and expecting a child, you are unsure how to create a birth plan, how to advocate for yourself with medical personnel. You are worried about setting boundaries with family members around the delivery room and once the baby arrives. Maybe you have already welcomed your baby and you are feeling disconnected from your child, you are wrought with anxiety, or you are noticing that your postpartum blues never seemed to leave. Maybe family members or your physician have mentioned concerns for your wellbeing. 

You do not have to face these challenging times alone. 1 in 5 mothers will suffer from postpartum depression. Perinatal and postpartum mood disorders are more common than we realize, it is an often overlooked area of mental health. 

As a mother, I understand the guilt that comes when attachment and bonding do not seem easy with your infant or maybe you are not feeling as happy about the baby as your expected. 

Perinatal and postpartum therapy provides a safe space for pregnant women and mothers a safe and non-judgmental space to openly discuss parenting concerns, challenging emotions,  and adjustment to a new routine. 

Perinatal and postpartum therapy works best when mother and therapist start their relationship prior to arrival of baby. Due to the nature of this type of work, babies are welcome to join mom in session to offer ease in scheduling and continued bonding. You are not required to bring your baby if you would rather therapy be your own time away from home.
