becoming a new parent is hard!

Are you experiencing emotions you did not expect? Are you overwhelmed? Did you experience a traumatic birth? Did you have a baby with a birth injury? Are you struggling to find your way after having your baby? Our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be confusing to sort through because we are focused on caring for the child.

About

Perinatal Mental Health Counseling

All birth stories are different. All trauma is different. We will discuss what happened and sort out all of your feelings about the experience. Together, we will work towards a new normal for you. We will discuss tools of mindfulness. I will teach you cognitive behavioral skills to help with your feelings of guilt, shame, worry, anxiety, etc. I want to help you heal from your birth trauma. I want to give you a safe place to talk about everything you experienced without judgment or shame. I want to help you reclaim your life after the traumatic experience. I want to help you strengthen your relationship with yourself, family, and child. About Me: I have always had a passion for helping women with anxiety. Now I want to widen my practice to help women with perinatal mental health concerns. I myself, had a traumatic birth which resulted in a child with a birth injury.
