You're not "just hormonal." You're not overreacting. And you're definitely not alone.

The perinatal period - which covers trying to conceive all the way through two years (at least!) postpartum - is one of the most emotionally complex times in a person's life. And yet, so many women suffer in silence because they think they are alone, or because they don't want to seem ungrateful.

Here's the truth: perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) are the most common complication of pregnancy and childbirth. They are real, they are common, and - this is the important part - they are treatable.

I work with women experiencing:

• Anxiety or depression during pregnancy

• Postpartum anxiety, depression, rage, or OCD

• Birth trauma or PTSD

• Pregnancy or infant loss

• The emotional toll of infertility and the TTC journey

• Intrusive thoughts (scary thoughts about your baby that horrify you - these are very common and treatable)

• Overwhelm, identity shifts, and the feeling that you've "lost yourself"

• Breaking generational patterns of family dysfunction

It's hard to imagine a time of life more full of change and adjustment than pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting. 

I am certified in perinatal mental health, which means I’ve received extensive training from Postpartum Support International and gathered years of experience working with perinatal women before then proving my competence by taking a standardized exam.
