Maternal & Postpartum Counseling

Preparing for, starting, and maintaining a family is one of (if not THE) most significant and difficult transitions you will experience throughout your life. This life change can bring up a new set of expectations, responsibilities, and unexpected struggles. Not to mention the physical, psychological, and social changes. 

Society often bombards new parents with messages about how they "should" think and feel. You may hear that you should be grateful and full of joy, throughout pregnancy and into parenthood. But let's face it... this is not always the case. And, that's okay. 

Postpartum isn’t just depression.

You may also be experiencing:

• Rage
• Anxiety
• OCD

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anger, stress, frustration, and guilt, you are not alone. 

And, it isn't something to be ashamed of. 

There’s support for you!

• Approach yourself with more self-compassion 

                (There is no such thing as a perfect mom!)

• Identify and prioritize your needs
• Understand the emotions you're experiencing
• Respond to emotions and experiences in a healthier way
• Be more mindful and present with yourself and your family
