Perinatal and Postpartum Therapy

Strengthening our families can change our world.

I am dedicated to supporting parents in creating positive maternal and early family mental health.

  • Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD) are the #1 medical complication to childbirth.

  • 1 in 7 women experience PPD

  • 1 in 10 fathers experience PPD

Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders include: depression, bipolar, anxiety, panic, obsessive compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and psychosis.

While specific symptoms and experiences may be different for each individual, some of the symptoms of anxiety and depression are:

  • Feelings of sadness/overwhelmed

  • Irritability and Anger

  • Difficulty with eating and/or sleeping

  • Panic Attacks

  • Intrusive Thoughts

  • Apathy

You are not alone. If you are struggling, please know that with support and treatment you can feel better. 

My work with families centers on prevention, education and support specific to the treatment of Perinatal Mental Health and includes:

  • Assessing biological risk factors

  • Exploring causes of distress

  • Creating healthy expectations

  • Understanding symptoms and implementing symptom reducing strategies

  • Building resiliency

“Birth is not only about making Babies.  Birth is about making Mothers; strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.”
