Pregnancy and mothering challenge and change every aspect of your emotional, physical, spiritual, and social being. Even good changes are stressful, and taking care of yourself is a vital part of motherhood. Talking with a professional alone or in the company of other mothers can help to:
- Alleviate anxieties and fears related to pregnancy and mothering
- Access your innate strengths, skills, and wisdom
- Understand and integrate your changing role and identity
- Cope with changes and conflicts in your relationships
- Better understand your child’s development
- Manage mood swings and other hormone changes
- Reduce feelings of isolation and improve your support system
- Improve your family’s communication
I provide the following services . . .
Individual or couples therapy can help to alleviate postpartum stress and provide needed support during difficult transitions.
Mother support groups provide a safe, nurturing place to share concerns, joys, and questions with other mothers like you.
Home visits can be arranged as needed: being a mother shouldn’t prevent you from getting the support and education you need.
