Parenthood can leave you feeling stuck in survival mode. You may find yourself struggling with birth trauma, NICU stays, postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, or just struggling with adjusting to the ways your life has changed. Maybe you can't get off the hamster wheel of no sleep, poor self-care, frustration, irritability, flashbacks, exhaustion, raw emotions and resentment. This can put strain on your relationships with others, your baby and yourself. Or perhaps you do not even recognize the person you are becoming. And it can be hard to ask for help while also learning how to care for a little one (or two).
I have a passion for supporting the perinatal population, especially those who have experienced trauma. I place an emphasis on self-care, emotional regulation, building support systems, and education about trauma and mental health in this unique chapter of life. Sessions with me feel casual and supportive - with a little bit of humor when needed.
My lived experiences and trainings inform my approach to maternal mental health. Take a moment to view my website and see if we are a good fit. It takes courage to recognize a need for support and to reach out for help. I am currently accepting clients. I look forward to hearing from you.
