Perinatal: the weeks before and after birth

Prenatal and Postpartum anxiety and depression are common concerns before and after giving birth and are two topics I work with clients on throughout our sessions. Other topics include…

    Grief/Loss

    Statistics show that 1 in 4 women will experience a miscarriage and 1 in 160 pregnancies will end in a stillbirth. If this is your experience, you are not alone. This extremely challenging time can be made worse by lack of support. Through my continuing education trainings, I have learned how to come alongside you and offer the support you may be missing.

    Infertility

    If you are struggling with infertility, it is important to remember that it does not define you as a woman or man. Infertility is a common occurrence and while many people may experience it, it is often not talked about and we hear the stories of those around us becoming pregnant so easily.

    NICU Support

    As a proud NICU parent, I understand what a difficult time this can be. If you’re like me, you never expected to end up there with your new baby. Even if you did expect to be there, it doesn’t make it any easier and if it’s a longer stay, returning home or to work and leaving your baby behind is one of the hardest things you will ever have to do. If you need extra support during this time, please reach out.
