Perinatal mental health counseling is specialized treatment to those facing challenges related to life transitions, relational challenges, trauma, pregnancy, birth, the postpartum period, infertility, reproductive losses and the early years of parenting.
I provide evidenced based treatment for planning, expecting, new and experienced mothers to help them thrive, during the perinatal period and beyond.
Are you suffering with grief and loss?
Are you struggling to keep it together or with your identity as a parent?
Are you fearful about pregnancy, birth or motherhood?
Is this season of parenthood not what you envisioned?
Are the people around you concerned about your adjustment?

Society tells us that this will be the happiest time of our lives, but what happens when it’s not? Many women will experience complications during the childbearing years which can include; infertility, pregnancy or infant loss, medical challenges, birth trauma and postpartum struggles. The truth is that 50-80% of women experience the baby blues and 1 out of 5 experience some sort of mood disturbance in the perinatal period (before or after pregnancy). The transition to motherhood is challenging and often requires significant adjustments and support.
