The transition into parenthood is profound—and often far more emotionally complex than expected. While there can be moments of joy and connection, new parents may also experience exhaustion, mood swings, grief for their former identity, and a deep sense of overwhelm. These feelings are common, but many people feel pressure to hide them.

Therapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to process the wide range of emotions that arise postpartum. Whether you’re struggling with sleep deprivation, intrusive thoughts, loneliness, or a shift in your relationship dynamics, therapy offers support and relief.

In my practice, I work with both birthing and non-birthing parents to navigate postpartum mental health challenges. We might explore:

• Feelings of anxiety, sadness, or numbness after birth

• Identity shifts and the loss of independence

• Relationship and intimacy changes with your partner

• Traumatic birth experiences

• Unrealistic expectations around parenthood

• Coping with perfectionism or guilt

I use an integrative approach—drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, relational therapy, and mindfulness techniques—to meet you where you are. This work can be both healing and empowering, helping you reconnect with your own needs while learning how to navigate the demands of parenting.

If you're feeling like yourself has been lost in this new chapter, you're not alone. Therapy can offer you a space to be seen, supported, and strengthened as you rediscover who you are now—as a parent and as a person. . Therapy provides a nonjudgmental space to process the overwhelm, fatigue, identity shifts, and mood changes that often come with postpartum life. CBT, relational therapy, and EMDR can be especially helpful in addressing postpartum anxiety, depression, and trauma.
