Are you concerned about how you’re feeling and wondering if you might be struggling with postpartum depression or anxiety?
You want nothing more than to bond with your new baby. This should be a happy time. Yet, sometimes it feels more like a dark period in your life. You are filled with anxiety or sadness that you can’t fully explain. It can feel lonely.
The good news is that therapy can help.
Through counseling, you can process your emotions, develop new coping strategies, and begin to connect with your baby. I specialize in working working with moms who feel overwhelmed by the transition to parenthood. I understand the unique stressors that come during the postpartum period, and I know how to help you feel well.
