Are you drowning in the relentless demands of new parenthood?

you never imagined it would be this hard.

Maybe you thought you always wanted this, but you had no clue how utterly
life-shattering the experience of new motherhood/parenthood could be.

Or perhaps you feel guilty for not experiencing the joy that everyone talks about when they have a baby. 

Maybe you didn't feel that "instant, all-encompassing love" as soon as you met your baby.

Instead, you actually felt grief and sadness.

And because of all of this, you feel utterly alone and isolated in your own thoughts.

FAQs

  • No. Only a provider with a medical degree can prescribe medications (MD, NP, etc). I can refer you to prescribing providers and we can discuss medication management if we feel this is the right path for you.

  • Unfortunately, these are not skills I am clinically trained in, but I can certainly refer you to wonderful providers who specialize in these topics.

    What I can help you with is managing your relationship to these often challenging pain points in the early days of parenthood.

  • Of course! I understand the unpredictability of life with a newborn, so I am more than happy to accommodate sessions with baby in tow.
