Infertility, Postpartum & Parenthood
Perinatal Therapy
Infertility, pregnancy, and parenthood can bring about a whirlwind of emotions, often leaving individuals and couples feeling overwhelmed and isolated. It’s common to feel the pressure to present a perfect front while struggling internally with anxiety and uncertainty.
These experiences can strain relationships, leading to feelings of disconnection and vulnerability. Many face similar challenges, and it’s important to recognize that these stressors are significant but not insurmountable.
Through therapy, it is possible to find strength and healing during these transformative times. Infertility, pregnancy, and the early stages of parenthood can be opportunities to strengthen relationships, heal past wounds, and establish a foundation for long-term mental and emotional wellbeing.
In therapy, the focus will be on reconnecting with oneself to improve connections with loved ones. By working on communication skills, understanding relationship patterns, and exploring new ways of relating, stressful experiences can be transformed into opportunities for growth and learning.
Support is essential for everyone navigating these challenges. My practice is inclusive and supportive of individuals and couples of all genders, sexual orientations, backgrounds, ethnicities, and religious practices. I am committed to honoring your beliefs and providing a space for understanding and personal development.
