Do you ever feel that being a new parent is not what you expected? Are you feeling overwhelmed or question whether you are a good enough mom? Maybe your birth plan did not go as expected and you can't seem to stop thinking about this disappointment or loss. You sometimes wonder whether you should have had a baby in the first place. Or, maybe you struggle more with racing thoughts that you can't shake off. You try very hard but you can't relax. You constantly worry throughout the day whether you are doing this parenting thing right. Have you noticed that having a baby has put a new strain on your relationship with your partner?

I use a gentle, evidence-based approach (ACT) that helps you build compassion for yourself, shift out of survival mode, and move toward the life you want to live—even if you're not sure what that looks like yet. If you're ready to feel like yourself again—or even just want to feel something again—let's talk. You don’t have to do this alone.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counsellors

What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?

The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.

When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?

Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.

How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?

A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviours. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
