Therapy for Pregnancy & Postpartum
The pregnancy and postpartum period can be both exciting and extremely stressful.
Mood changes and anxiety are common during pregnancy and the postpartum period; for some women, it can become overwhelming.
Some clients face additional pressure when their experience isn’t the one they hoped for or imagined. Maybe it’s a pregnancy that didn’t go as planned, a difficult childbirth, challenges with feeding or other problems in the postpartum period. The difference between expectations and reality can lead to self-doubt and self-criticism.

How Does Therapy Help?
In therapy, you’ll be supported in managing the many thoughts and feelings that come with navigating pregnancy and the postpartum period. Therapy often includes help with mood & anxiety, transition to parenthood, improving communications skills, resolving conflict, and prioritizing self-care.
You don’t have to do this alone. As a certified perinatal mental provider and licensed psychotherapist with more than 20 years of experience, I have the knowledge and skills to help you manage through the pregnancy and postpartum periods.
