PUTTING YOUR MINDSET FIRST.
NOW SUPPORTING THE MOTHERHOOD TRANSITION VIA PERINATAL THERAPY.
PERINATAL THERAPY? WHAT’S THAT?
Are you overwhelmed by all the changes of motherhood?
Maybe you are frustrated because you aren’t feeling the “pregnancy glow” or perhaps you are tired of waiting for your experience to match your expectations. You may be feeling stuck in survival mode, drowning in laundry, wearing the same spit up stained sweatshirt a fifth day in a row, or simply that you’ve lost your sense of who you are outside of “mom”. Perhaps you’re feeling “mommy shamed” and that you aren’t doing it “right”.
Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact of this in every facet of your life, feeling:
Disconnected; from your body, from your baby, or from your partner.
Anxious or depressed, losing sleep from the many pressures that come with bringing a new human into the world.
Anger or grief; you want your “boss bitch” body and life back.
Disappointed and frustrated; this isn’t what you thought it was going to be. Why didn’t anybody tell you it was going to be like this?
Scared you aren’t cut out to be a parent.
Perinatal Therapy can help.
It may feel impossible now, but you can feel like you are sitting in the driver seat again. You can be a great parent while having a connection to your identity as an individual. You can find your own way to be a parent that works for you.
Perinatal Therapy will help you:
Create a judgment-free space to explore your experiences and feelings without shame.
Examine fixed beliefs you have adopted from your family and your culture.
Learn tools to help you trust yourself so you can be who you want for your family and yourself.
I’ll help through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. My approach to perinatal therapy comes from a place of possibility: believing that with tenderness and perspective, you can embrace where you are on the journey to familihood.
