It's not what you thought it would be, and that's okay. Life transitions are hard. As much as we try to prepare ourselves, we can never be fully prepared. However, we can work together to help you embrace the changes and learn to navigate life with a new fresh perspective. And who knows, you might just find that the changes or life transitions you experienced, creates a better version of yourself. I am a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional. I also have an extensive background working with children, adolescents and young adults.
I assist individuals in processing challenges related to infertility, treating mood and anxiety disorders in pregnancy and navigating postpartum with the transition to parenthood. My extensive background working with children, adolescents and their families allows me to assist in decreasing relational discord and improve family cohesiveness.
