Perinatal Mental Health
Most people talk about how wonderful it is to be pregnant and to bring life into this world.
The pregnancy “glow”, the deep connection you feel with the life growing in your belly, snuggling with a squishy baby, and the matching outfits. You’ve spent hours thinking of all the things you’d do differently – curating the best life for this child with all your hopes and dreams.
You rarely hear about the dark side of this season in life.
The infertility struggles, miscarriages, traumatic births, infant losses, and mood and anxiety disorders during pregnancy and after birth (postpartum depression & postpartum anxiety). All these experiences are life-changing, isolating, and in some severe cases life-threatening. This is the most critical and vulnerable time of life for you and your baby.
You need a postpartum depression therapist who is well-trained to understand the unique needs and risks of this time, and can provide effective treatment so you could enjoy your new role.
I am a Clinical Psychologist with advance training in perinatal mental health. I have years of clinical experience providing postpartum counseling for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety and infant loss . Take comfort in knowing that you will be in knowledgeable, tender hands.
