Pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting often feel so different from what we have pictured. Worry and anxiety, emotional rollercoasters, relationship issues, frustration, and overwhelm can be all part of our experience. If you find yourself struggling and not knowing how to get through your day, now is the time to connect with the right therapist and to get support. You don’t have to feel alone in this and figure it all out on your own. Let us work together to find ways to help you feel empowered and confident throughout this crazy and challenging journey.
With a specialization in maternal mental health and parenting, I will help you develop skills to calm your overactive nervous system and understand how your body and mind react in stressful situations. Together, we will work on finding new, practical ways of responding to the daily demands of parenting and dig into the root causes of some of these feelings.
If you are ready to find more peace, balance, and confidence in your life, please reach out here on Psychology Today or visit my website to schedule your free consultation call. I would love to support you through the challenges you are dealing with! I offer online and in-person appointments Monday through Thursday, 11am-6pm.
