Pregnancy & Postpartum
Becoming a mother changes more than your life. It changes you.
Support through pregnancy anxiety, birth experiences, and the emotional and identity shifts of new motherhood, including pregnancy after loss or infertility.
Postpartum can hold more than you expected: mood changes, anxiety, overwhelm, shifts in your relationship, the return to work. None of it means you’re failing at this. It means you’re carrying a lot, and you deserve support while you carry it.
How I approach this
I completed Postpartum Support International’s certificate training in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, so I know the difference between a hard week and something that needs more than rest. Sessions can be built around a newborn: a baby on your lap, a feed in the middle. We look at what is happening now, and at who you are becoming, not only who you are to the baby. If the birth is still with you, we start there.
This might be you if
- You are pregnant after a loss and cannot let yourself believe it.
- The birth did not go the way you were told it would, and you keep replaying it.
- You love the baby and dread the day.
- You are back at work and not sure who you are there anymore.
- Everyone asks about the baby. Nobody asks about you.
