Pregnancy, Birth & Parenting Support


   Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum

"In giving birth to our babies, we may find that we give  birth to new possibilities within ourselves."
                                                          - Myla & Jon Kabat-Zinn

The journey into motherhood is a profound  experience of transformation.  It can bring moments of awe and fulfillment, as well as overwhelming emotions and challenge.  It is a time of wisdom, of expansion, of deep surrender and trust. 

I have a passion for supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period.  Therapy can provide a supportive place to explore the many feelings that arise during this time and help you feel more grounded as you make this life-altering transition.

Therapy can also help you to:
  • Embrace your new role as a mother with confidence and intention
  • Develop a birth plan that feels right for you
  • Heal from a difficult or traumatic birth experience
  • Address fertility concerns
  • Reduce symptoms of postpartum depression or anxiety
  • Keep your relationship strong as you adjust to parenthood

               Parenting Support

It is often said that parenting is one of the greatest -- and the most challenging -- adventures we can embark on.  While raising children can bring us in touch with a deeper sense of love and purpose than we've ever experienced, it can also bring with it, at times, a profound sense of vulnerability, inadequacy, and frustration.  It is also common for unresolved wounds from our own childhoods to bubble up to the surface and impact our ability to respond clearly and intentionally to our children's needs. 

Therapy in the form of parenting support can be helpful to:
  • Address specific parenting challenges you're struggling with
  • Resolve old patterns or traumas in order to parent more consciously
  • Clarify the values most important to you as you raise your children
  • Simply feel supported and encouraged along the bumpy parenting journey

Parenting with a greater sense of presence, intention, and self-awareness leads to us feeling more confident and fulfilled in this most important role, and helps us raise healthy, happy and resilient kids.
