It's important to understand that it's not your fault! Many women experience postpartum depression after childbirth. Once comfort and connection are established, the focus shifts to prioritizing your and your baby's well-being. Strategies for preventing depression are demonstrated, and symptoms are identified and addressed accordingly.
Postpartum depression is real and it is common. Becoming pregnant, enduring pregnancy, and birthing a child is nothing short of a metamorphic experience. I help mothers experiencing postpartum depression have a safe space to explore sometimes scary and uncomfortable emotions like doubt, fear, guilt, shame and sadness that often accompany this type of experience.
I specialize in supporting new mothers experiencing postpartum depression, providing a compassionalte space where you can navigate the complexities of this challenging time. It's okay to feel sadness and stress after having a baby; these emotions are more common than you might think. Understanding that you are not alone is the first step towards healing. Together, we will work to address your feelings and develop strategies to help you regain your sense of well-being and joy in motherhood.
