Perinatal Counseling

I am passionate about helping and supporting mothers/parents from the day they decide to have a baby all the way through the child’s birth and early years. This means I am also here to support individuals experiencing pregnancy loss and infertility. We do a lot as a culture to support babies’ health and development, but often moms/parents are forgotten about or treated as an afterthought. My role is to support YOU as not only a parent, but as a whole person outside of parenthood.  I care how you are adjusting to one of the hugest changes you will ever experience.  I help with the following:

  • Unplanned pregnancy
  • Struggles adjusting to pregnancy
  • Infertility (including secondary infertility)
  • Miscarriage
  • Gender disappointment
  • Mental health struggles during pregnancy
  • Fetal medical diagnosis in utero
  • Traumatic delivery/birth trauma
  • NICU stays
  • Unexpected medical diagnosis at birth/infancy
  • Difficulty bonding with baby
  • Difficulty adjusting to having a new baby
  • Pregnancy/postpartum body image struggles
  • Postpartum mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD
  • Intrusive thoughts postpartum
  • Loss of own identity following becoming a parent
  • Adjusting to changes in employment following the birth of a child (becoming a stay at home parent or going back to work)
  • Adjusting to changes in relationships following the birth of a child
