Parenthood, Pregnancy & Family Building | Mental Health Support

Navigating the journey of parenthood—whether you're expecting, recovering from birth, parenting small children, or facing fertility challenges—can be complex and emotionally demanding. You're not alone. I offer specialized therapy for every stage of this journey, helping you find clarity, healing, and resilience along the way.

Fertility, Infertility & Family-Building Counseling

For those struggling to conceive or exploring alternative paths to parenthood, the emotional toll can be immense. The grief, frustration, and uncertainty that come with infertility, IVF, or adoption deserve to be acknowledged and supported.

Just because you are struggling now, doesn’t mean it will always be this way. This is a season and you can get through it.

Therapy can help you navigate:

  • The emotional rollercoaster of infertility treatments

  • Loss and grief after miscarriage or unsuccessful attempts

  • Decision-making around IVF, surrogacy, or adoption

  • Processing complex emotions if family-building isn’t possible

Infertility counseling and fertility support therapy provide a judgment-free space to process, grieve, and find hope. Learn more about infertility support.

Pregnancy & Postpartum Depression/Anxiety Therapy

Bringing a child into the world is often portrayed as joyful, but for many, it comes with emotional turbulence. If you're struggling with pregnancy depression, postpartum anxiety, or maternal mental health concerns, therapy can help you process these emotions and find tools to regain balance.

You are not alone in navigating the emotional ups and downs of parenthood—together, we can create a path to healing, self-compassion, and resilience during this transformative time.

Signs you may need support:

  • Persistent sadness, guilt, or feelings of hopelessness

  • Intense anxiety, panic attacks, or intrusive thoughts

  • Difficulty bonding with your baby

  • Feeling overwhelmed or like you’re "not yourself"

I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can explore these feelings and develop strategies to navigate them. Learn more about pregnancy and postpartum mental health support.

Birth Trauma & C-Section Recovery Therapy

Birth doesn’t always go as planned, and a difficult or traumatic experience can leave lasting emotional scars. Whether you had an unexpected C-section, birth trauma, or a distressing hospital experience, you deserve space to process what happened and heal.

Your birthing experience is your own. And the emotions you experience with it are unique and valid.

Common struggles after birth trauma or a C-section:

  • Flashbacks or nightmares about your birth experience

  • Feelings of loss, grief, or disconnection

  • Anxiety about future pregnancies or medical procedures

  • Physical recovery challenges affecting mental health

Therapy for birth trauma and C-section recovery can help you validate your experience, rebuild trust in your body, and move forward with greater peace. Schedule a consultation today.

Early Parenthood & Parenting Small Children Support

Parenting young children is a whirlwind—equal parts love, exhaustion, and self-doubt. Whether you’re struggling with the transition to parenthood, postpartum mental health, or parenting stress, you don’t have to do it alone.

It’s okay to feel exhausted and unsure; loving your child doesn’t mean you have to love every moment.

Parenting support can help if you:

  • Feel burned out, frustrated, or overwhelmed

  • Struggle with guilt or self-judgment

  • Want tools to manage tantrums, sleep struggles, or attachment concerns

  • Need space to reconnect with yourself as a person, not just a parent

I offer therapy for new parents and early parenting support to help you find confidence and ease in your parenting journey. Book a session to start feeling more supported.
