Perinatal Mood Disorders (PMADs) are the most common complications of childbirth and any parent can experience symptoms. Common symptoms include:
overwhelming sadness and/or anxiety
difficulty making decisions
irritability and rage
difficulty attaching or bonding to your baby
intrusive thoughts or images of harm coming to your child
feeling “not yourself”
isolation from community and loved ones
telling yourself and others “I can’t do this”
significant changes in eating and sleeping patterns (outside of baby changing your sleep!)
in serious cases: urges to harm oneself or others, beliefs that are not grounded in reality, or seeing/hearing/feeling things that are not actually present
If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms know that it is not your fault and you are not alone. These symptoms are very treatable with professional therapeutic support and you can feel better. Start the healing process today by reaching out.

The grieving process is often misunderstood, especially when it comes to the deep pain that arises from infertility and loss. Friends and family may offer well-meaning advice, but it won’t always resonate and the feelings may remain overwhelming.
Through compassionate, individualized care, I offer the opportunity to grieve without expectation, allowing you to experience each moment fully. You don’t need to meet any prescribed milestones or follow someone else’s advice. In this space, you'll be heard, held, and supported as you explore the depth of your feelings and find a path forward that resonates with you.
Infertility, Grief and Loss
Society often creates an unrealistic expectation that conception is quick, pregnancy is easy, and birth is swift. For many, this is far from the reality, and navigating the challenges can feel isolating without the right tools or support.
I strive to validate your unique journey, offering a space where you can express the disappointments, anger, worries, and unexpected emotions that arise. With compassionate support, we’ll work together to help you process and cope with the complexities of your experience, empowering you to find peace and understanding along the way.
Family Planning, Navigating Pregnancy, Birth
Moving through Postpartum
Parenthood brings profound change, whether it’s your first child or the transition to adding a new sibling. It’s a time of re-learning how life works—figuring out how to divide tasks, supporting the emotions of an older sibling, and adjusting to the needs of a new baby.
The journey of attachment, breastfeeding challenges, and navigating your own emotions can be more complex than expected. I am here to help you process these feelings, set healthy boundaries, create meaningful goals for your family, and find a new rhythm that works for you. Together, we’ll support your growth as a family during this beautiful, yet challenging, transition.
Life transitions—whether it’s changing relationships, a new job, or a move—can feel overwhelming. When everything shifts, it’s easy for healthy boundaries, coping skills, and daily joy to slip away.
I am passionate about supporting you through these emotional times, helping you regain balance and clarity. Together, we’ll work on identifying and communicating your emotions, setting and maintaining healthy boundaries, and finding ways to reconnect with your best self during these changes.
