Therapy for Moms

 

I am  trained in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International, and a mom to three very different children who provided me with three very different pregnancy and postpartum experiences. 

Becoming a mother is a profound transformation. It can feel beautiful and amazing, and then discouraging, disappointing, and terrifying all within the space of the same day… sometimes within the same hour! I help women manage anxiety around trying to conceive, anxiety throughout pregnancy, and anxiety and depression during postpartum.

One in 8 women will struggle with a postpartum mood disorder and psychotherapy is recommended as the first line of treatment for these postpartum symptoms. In therapy we will explore your expectations and disappointments, your circle of support, your changing identity, and the impact becoming a mother is having on your relationships and your life. We will look at your goals for yourself as a mother, but also your goals for yourself as a person. You deserve the opportunity to enjoy being a mom, and together we will get you there.
