Perinatal Counseling
Mental health support for women facing the challenges of conception, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting.
You need a support system as strong as you are (and you are pretty dang strong!)
Through Conception
The idea of becoming a mother always seemed distant, but now it's within reach. Maybe the reality of trying to conceive isn't matching the vision you had.
Through Birth Trauma
The bonding moments with your baby are often overshadowed by flashbacks, anxiety, and a sense of loss. The joy of welcoming your child is clouded by the lingering effects of the trauma, making it hard to fully embrace motherhood.
Through Infertility
You knew infertility was a struggle from some, but never imagined you’d struggle to conceive. You can’t open Instagram without painful reminders of what you can’t have. It’s not supposed to be like this.
Through Postpartum
From the moment your baby arrived, you've faced countless decisions—choosing a pediatrician, picking products, setting sleep schedules. This isn’t what you pictured.
Through Pregnancy
Everyone talks about the glow and joy but you just feel exhausted, fearful, and anxious. Your body has changed dramatically and you don’t recognize yourself. It's hard to know when things will feel normal again.
Through Parenthood
The constant demands, tantrums, and endless planning is exhausting. Playful, happy moments are often clouded by the fatigue of sleepless nights and the stress of endless decision-making. Is “mom” your only identity now?
