Perinatal and Postpartum Mental Health Counseling

Are you or your partner expecting a new child? Have you or your partner recently had a baby?

I know how difficult and impossible it all can seem. Postpartum Depression and Anxiety are more common than you might think. Let's work together to find relief and get your life back!

I work with folks who are pregnant and new parents who are transitioning to life with a new tiny human. My passion is helping individuals with this miraculous and overwhelming transition to parenthood.

I have training and experience working with perinatal mental health disorders including Postpartum depression and anxiety and am actively completing certification as a Perinatal Mental Health specialist through Postpartum Support International.

Everyone has anxiety, right? Well maybe, but not everyone experiences anxiety the same. If you feel like racing and intrusive thoughts about the future are keeping you from living the life you want, then it's time to talk about it.

Perfectionism and anxiety often go hand in hand too. If it's hard for you to forgive yourself for mistakes you make or if you feel like you're always striving for an impossible goal, you may have formed some unhelpful thinking patterns that have lead to feeling like everything has to be perfect. 

Both anxiety and perfectionism can be managed and unlearned. I work with folks who might be functioning well in almost all areas of their life, but their anxiety or perfectionist beliefs are crushing their ability to truly thrive.

If you think that's you, we can work together to develop strategies to help you cope better and have a space to examine what might be at the root of your struggles.

  Figuring out the first step to feeling better is not always easy. There is a ton of information out there that is not always helpful and sometimes harmful. Let's sort through what you need together. 

 My approach with all clients is to respect the wealth of knowledge you already have about yourself, your experiences, and your needs. I aim to provide a warm, non-judgmental space for people to explore themselves and their needs and feel seen and heard. 

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed with all the feelings, thoughts, demands, and needs that come with starting or adding to your family, are struggling with anxiety and perfectionism, or if you think you are experiencing something more than just the baby blues, you don't have to do this alone.
