Bio:Being a new mom and balancing it all can leave you feeling depleted and stuck. Your own body and time don’t seem to belong to you, your own well-being is always on the backburner. You are feeling isolated, disconnected, lonely. You don’t feel like yourself anymore and things just don’t feel right. Nobody really understands what you are going through. Anxiety and depression during pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, or pregnancy loss can feel debilitating. It is so important to get support from a professional who gets it. With the right support you can finally find relief from your emotional pain and get your life back. Pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting can look and feel so different from what we have pictured. Constant anxiety, emotional rollercoasters, relationship issues, frustration, and overwhelm can be all part of our experience. If you find yourself struggling and not knowing how to get through your day, now is the time to connect with the right therapist and to get support. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own; getting support does not mean that you are failing in this. Let us work together to find ways to help you feel empowered and confident throughout this crazy and challenging journey. With a specialization in maternal mental health and parenting, I help parents develop skills to calm their overactive nervous systems and understand how their body and mind react in stressful situations. Together, we will work on finding new, practical ways of responding to the daily demands of parenting and dig into the root causes of some of these feelings and reactions. If you are ready to find more peace, balance, and confidence in your life, please send me an email or visit my website to schedule your free consultation call. I would love to support you through this challenging time! I offer online and in-person appointments Mon through Thu.Specialty/Interest:
