Are you a new parent and find yourself completely overwhelmed by the massive changes and challenges that come along with caring for a tiny human?
Do you find yourself preoccupied with worrying thoughts about your baby’s health? Has it become difficult to connect with your partner?
Your mental health matters, and I am here to help you navigate new parenthood and help you reconnect with and find joy in your baby, your partner, and most importantly, yourself. If this resonates with you, please contact me for a free 15 minute consult.
Becoming a new parent can feel like a rollercoaster of emotions. Joy, excitement, love, frustration, exhaustion, disappointment, guilt, shame. One moment you’re filled with bliss, lovingly staring into your new baby’s eyes and the next you may feel like hiding away in your closet, wondering “what have I done?!” You’re not crazy, and you’re not alone!
What you’re feeling may be more than a case of the baby blues. 1 in 5 parents experience an anxiety or mood disorder postpartum. I can help you navigate the highs and lows by challenging your inner critic and teaching you practical, easy to implement coping skills.
Relationship Issues
Before you had children, you may never have imagined yourself looking for a couples’ therapist. Now, it may feel impossible to navigate these challenges alone.
Becoming a parent changes the dynamic of your relationship, and during this physically and emotionally taxing time, it is so important to make sure the bond between you and your partner is nurtured and strengthened.
Healthy relationships require self-reflection, accountability and positive communication to thrive. As your therapist, I can help you and your partner communicate from a place of responsiveness, rather than reactivity.
