Hey mama, I am so sorry your birth experience was not what you hoped or expected that it would be. For so many women, we dream of and imagine the day we will become a mother as the happiest, most magical of our lives. For you, things were different. Whether you had an unplanned C-section, survived a placental abruption, experienced fetal distress during intolerance of induction/labor, I provide a safe space for you to process what you and your baby just went through. No judgement, and all love.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and owner at North Star Wellness & Therapy PC. I received my training at Columbia University and sought a special certification with Postpartum Support International as a maternal mental health specialist to help women heal from their traumatic birth experiences. I also hold a special certification in Complicated Grief.
Should you feel my therapeutic style may be the right fit for you, please feel free to reach out for a consultation. I can't wait to show you how to honor your experience and finally look back at your delivery with the peace that you deserve.
