​​​​The journey to parenthood is often portrayed as purely joyful, but for many, it can also bring unexpected emotional challenges. If you're experiencing anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns during pregnancy or after birth, you're not alone - and there's help available.

 

Understanding Perinatal Mental Health

 

Perinatal mental health encompasses the emotional well-being of individuals from conception through the first year after birth. This period can bring a range of experiences, including:

 

- Pregnancy anxiety and depression

- Postpartum depression and anxiety

- Birth trauma and PTSD

- Adjustment difficulties to parenthood

- Pregnancy loss and grief

 

These experiences are common and treatable. With proper support, you can navigate this transformative time with greater ease and confidence.

As a therapist specializing in perinatal mental health, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to:

- Develop coping strategies for anxiety and depression

- Work through birth trauma or loss

- Navigate relationship changes and new identities

- Build confidence in your parenting abilities

 

My approach is tailored to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based techniques specifically designed for perinatal mental health concerns.
