Support for your Reproductive Journey
The journey of trying to get pregnant, being pregnant, and transitioning to motherhood is often filled with mixed emotions and anxiety. Maybe you aren't feeling like yourself. Maybe the coping tools that used to work are no longer serving you. Or maybe your support system isn't as robust as you'd like it. Either way, I am here to help support YOU in this important life transition.

Postpartum Planning Package
My postpartum planning package is specially-designed to help clients feel more supported and prepared for the postpartum "fourth trimester." Together, we will help identify and establish support systems, practice effective coping & relaxation skills to put in your "toolbox," and create plans for protecting sleep, feeding, and self-care schedules to best prepare you for your journey to parenthood.

(1) 75-minute intake session during pregnancy
(1) 55-minute postpartum planning session prior to delivery (partners encouraged to attend)
(1) 30-minute phone check in after delivery
(1) 55-minute postpartum session

Is this Normal?
The transition of becoming a new parent includes a healthy dose of readjustment and emotional ups and downs. You may wonder if the way you are feeling is your "new normal" or a sign of something more serious and long-lasting. Whether or not you meet criteria for a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder, if you are not feeling like yourself and it’s been more than 2-4 weeks after you’ve had a baby, it’s worth it to make an appointment and just talk about what you’re going through.
