The perinatal period—pregnancy through the first year postpartum—is often described as joyful and transformative. It can also be overwhelming, disorienting, and emotionally intense. If this season feels heavier than you expected, you are not alone. Perinatal therapy offers a steady, compassionate space to process what you’re experiencing and to feel more supported as you navigate this transition.
You might be reaching out because you’re experiencing:
Prenatal anxiety or constant worry about the baby
Postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or difficulty sleeping
Postpartum depression or persistent sadness
Emotional overwhelm or irritability
A loss of identity or feeling disconnected from yourself
Birth-related trauma or a difficult delivery experience
Relationship strain as you're becoming parents
Grief following pregnancy loss
Sometimes there isn’t one clear issue—just a sense that something feels off. Therapy can help you slow down, sort through what’s coming up, and build steadiness during a vulnerable time.
In our work together, we may focus on:
Reducing anxiety and calming the nervous system
Understanding and shifting unhelpful thought patterns
Building coping tools for emotional regulation
Processing birth experiences or pregnancy-related fears
Navigating identity changes and role transitions
Strengthening self-compassion during a demanding season
My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. I integrate evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, and ACT, along with Internal Family Systems (IFS), to support both practical coping skills and deeper emotional insight.
