Navigate parenthood with confidence

The perinatal and postpartum periods are full of massive emotional, physical, and identity shifts. You may be feeling joy, grief, overwhelm, fear, numbness—or all of the above. Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating early parenthood, or healing from a difficult experience, you deserve a space where you are cared for.

~ Becoming a parent changes everything—especially you ~

This is a space to slow down, explore what’s coming up for you, and receive compassionate support through one of the most tender and transformative times of life

Support for New and Expecting Parents

Perinatal and postpartum therapy is for anyone who is:

  • Pregnant or postpartum and feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or disconnected

  • Grieving a difficult birth, miscarriage, or loss

  • Recovering from birth trauma

  • Struggling with identity, body changes, or relationship shifts

  • Feeling isolated, irritable, or unlike yourself

  • Seeking support while bonding with baby or adjusting to parenthood

  • Processing emotional experiences from NICU stays or medical interventions

  • Holding generational trauma that’s resurfacing through parenting

Whether this is your first child or your fourth, your experience matters.

Therapy That Honors Both You and Your Baby

My approach is body-based, relational, and deeply respectful of the whole person you are. Together, we’ll create space for whatever you’re carrying—without judgment or pressure to “bounce back” or “do it all.”

You’ll receive support through:

  • Somatic (body-based) practices to help regulate your nervous system

  • Reflective conversations to process identity, emotion, and experience

  • Attachment-informed care to explore how you're bonding with baby (and yourself)

  • Tools for co-regulation that support both you and your child

  • Gentle skill-building to navigate daily challenges and emotional overwhelm

~ Postpartum is not just about the baby—it’s about you. And your healing, your capacity, and your voice matter ~

You’re Not Broken. You’re Becoming

You don’t have to be struggling "enough" to deserve support. You don’t need a diagnosis or a crisis to ask for help. Your experience—whatever it is—is valid.

~ Sometimes, support is what prevents a crisis. And sometimes, it’s what helps you find yourself again ~

This is your space to be held, to feel seen, and to reconnect with the strength and tenderness that already live within you

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Postpartum depression can feel like a fog. Some of the common symptoms are feeling sad, crying frequently, irritability, anger, and difficulty sleeping. You may have feelings of doubt in your ability to be a parent, or fears that you would do something to harm yourself or your baby. These are all common ways that people with a perinatal mood disorder may feel in the 12 months following the birth of a child. Therapy has been shown to be quite effective in improving your mood, allowing you to accept the changes in your life, and giving you space to find your way as a new mom.

  • Feeling disconnected from your baby is a symptom of a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder (called PMADS). You are overwhelmed, lacking sleep, and trying to adjust to the biggest change in your life. It can be hard to feel connected to your baby during this time. However, a professional therapist experienced in this area can help you connect to your baby.
