Postpartum period is a challenging and unique time. We are here to help navigate through those emotional challenges in your life as you adjust to significant change.
Giving birth and raising a child is one of the most significant adjustments any parent must make that requires us to accommodate ourselves to the presence of an infant/young child who is dependent on us. This can (and almost certainly does at times) feel desperate to the point that we don't know what to do. It is vital that we allow ourselves some degree of self-compassion to know and accept these overwhelming circumstance in order to reach out to others for support and guidance to help us through.

In supporting patients with postpartum depression, I provide a compassionate and understanding environment to explore their experiences. Through education and open discussion, we work together to increase awareness and understanding of postpartum depression symptoms and triggers. I help them develop coping strategies to manage their emotions and navigate the challenges they may face. Additionally, I offer support in accessing resources and building a strong support network. The goal is to empower them to prioritize their mental health and well-being during this challenging time and facilitate their journey toward recovery and emotional wellness.
Postpartum depression can be incredibly challenging for mothers, especially when symptoms get in the way of being the best parent they want to be. It's a difficult journey, but I offer a supportive space where mothers can explore their feelings without fear of judgment, helping them understand and navigate what's truly happening.
