Therapy for Pregnancy & Postpartum

The newborn season is often expected to be a time of joy, yet many women are met with debilitating uncertainty and emotional whirlwind. Paired with profound sleep deprivation, a drastic change in hormones, and the constant demands of a tiny baby, she may begin to feel irritable, alone or even lost, wondering if she will ever be her self again.

As many as 1 in 5 women may experience depression or anxiety during the perinatal period.

With the expertise and advanced training in perinatal mental health, we will work together to help you develop a set of concrete, evidence-based tools and to regain your sense of self as you navigate this new season and identity as a mom.

Therapy for Reproductive Loss / Trauma

The words "reproductive" and "loss" should never have to be used together to describe one's experience. This profound and complex journey may include miscarriage, stillbirth, Termination for Medical Reasons (TFMR), birth trauma, unsuccessful assisted reproduction, or an unexpected NICU experience.

Our trauma-informed grief counseling honors the intensity of your pain and the depth of your loss. We strive to provide a compassionate space for you to begin your healing journey.
