Pregnancy & Postpartum Therapy

Bringing a child into the world is a beautiful, joyful, and extraordinary experience, but it can also be incredibly challenging and overwhelming. Many feel ashamed if they experience anything other than happiness during pregnancy or after welcoming their child. 

But, nearly all women and pregnant people experience a mix of emotions, including anxiety, excitement, worry, joy, fear, regret, guilt, or sadness about pregnancy and birth. Navigating pregnancy loss, postpartum depression, and anxiety can add complex feelings and layers to an already emotional time.

Postpartum Depression & Anxiety

While mood changes or "baby blues" are common during the perinatal period, up to

15-20%

of women may experience clinically significant anxiety and depression during pregnancy or postpartum.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is also common after birth.

Pregnancy Loss

Unfortunately, about

 10-15%

of pregnancies result in miscarriage or loss, which can be a shocking and traumatic experience. Often, women may feel unable to openly discuss their loss due to societal stigma. It's essential to break this silence to ensure that women do not carry the burden of grief alone.

Finding Postpartum Support & Relief 

I understand that asking for help can be challenging, especially when societal norms emphasize happiness during pregnancy. However, experiencing changes in mood and temperament is common, and you are not alone in this experience. Seeking help early can lead to better long-term outcomes for you, your child, and your partner. If you're feeling exhausted, angry, resentful, excessively sad or anxious, overwhelmed, or experiencing grief or feelings of being "crazy," I hear you.
