You love your baby so much, but becoming a parent is also the hardest thing you've ever done in your life. You wonder if you're cut out for this, if you will ever sleep again, if you and your partner will make it through this. You wonder who you even are anymore. You want to be able to soak up every moment and you truly enjoy your baby, but intrusive thoughts, crying spells, and unexpected rage come out of nowhere. Everything has changed: your body, your marriage, your friendships, your brain, your identity. You need time and space to make sense of it all, to come up for air, to be seen and heard when you so often feel invisible.
Allow me to be the sounding board as you sort through the intermingling joy and shock of early parenthood. I can support you with practical strategies for preparing for postpartum, DBT tools to reduce anxiety or depression and improving communication with your partner, grief after miscarriage, or an existential exploration of life after becoming a parent.
There are real and valid reasons for the difficulties you're facing. Some things are in your control and can be changed with some help and a good plan. Others are not in your control and can be tolerated with right mindset and tools. If you are all your baby needs, then there is nothing more important than taking care of you, so please reach out today.

I believe that the quality of relationships built with your primary caregivers growing up strongly influences your relationships with yourself and others today. I will often explore links between your past and present to promote awareness of these influences. Ultimately, the goal is to be able to differentiate the past from the present so that you can make conscious choices about your future.
