1 in 5 women will experience a clinical mood or anxiety disorder during and/or after pregnancy. Between 25-34% of women report their births as traumatic. Following the birth, some go on to develop Postpartum PTSD. The earlier there is support during this vulnerable and often overwhelming time, the adjustment to motherhood is less bumpy. I work with women (and their partners) to manage anxiety, depression, fear around motherhood and birth, postpartum PTSD and planning for postpartum support. I offer support during pregnancy and postpartum in a couple different ways. Traditional therapy, short-term home visits, or consulting. I have over 40 hours of training in PMADs (Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders) and I am a level 1 Birth Trauma Trained Therapist. I also integrate therapy models and coping strategies while working alongside clients to decrease their distress, as well as support couples as adjust to relationship changes. Sharing our stories in a safe space with a caring, empathetic person is an important aspect of healing. I know it can be overwhelming and sometimes furstrating to find a therapist – especially during such a significant time in one’s life. As of 9/18/20 I am full.
