Prenatal and Postpartum Therapy

Welcoming a new child into your family is one of the most life altering transitions you or your relationship will ever face, and it is one that deserves attention, support. Accessing therapy during and after your pregnancy can help maximize your coping skills and make the transition to newborn life so much easier and more fulfilling. 

You’ve been carrying around the overwhelm and worry for months now and the weight of it all seems to grow with each passing day. The closer you get to your due date, the more you can’t help but wonder “Will my life ever be the same?” You have a nagging sense of dread that it won’t and deep down you fear that you won’t be able to find happiness with the new normal once the baby arrives.

You’ve been suffering with these feelings silently… it’s just not that easy to voice these sorts of things to family and friends and you’d love to be more honest about these feelings with your partner and yourself.

You are so used to having everything figured out and this just feels like such a huge unknown. It’s true, having a baby is one of the least predictable experiences one can experience, but rest assured, you are not alone with feelings like these.

Welcoming a new child into your family is one of the most life altering transitions you or your relationship will ever face, and it is one that deserves attention and support.

The thing is, you haven’t been sure about where to get the support you crave or if this is even something therapists do. The good news is, this is exactly what I do. I provide prenatal through postpartum therapy for individuals and couples looking to feel more prepared, informed and ready for life with a first, second, or third child.

This is no doubt uncharted territory in your life and together we will unpack all the hopes, fears, worries, and unknowns that inevitably bubble up to the surface when a new baby is on the horizon.

During focused and structured couples or individual sessions that take place before baby arrives, we will work on strategies to help you stay connected to the people that matter to you, explore ways for you to maintain life balance while facing the demands of caring for your new baby and address any fear or anxiety that has been building up around the birthing process or parenting.

After baby arrives, we will continue our work with postpartum sessions to provide you (and your partner) with added support during the fragile and wondrous time of adjusting to life with a newborn.

In addition to offering ongoing therapy to clients for acute prenatal and postpartum symptoms and stress related to pregnancy, birth and parenting, I also offer therapeutic support in an 8 session package. This option is available as a means to assist you and your partner in feeling more prepared, supported and excited for this new chapter ahead with specific focus areas.

Regardless of which option works best for you, please know that you don’t need to spend the rest of your pregnancy worrying in silence. Please reach out today to schedule your complimentary 20 minute consultation to give you and your partner the space to enjoy and treasure this most magical time of life.
