• A change in hormone levels after childbirth
• Previous experience of depression or anxiety
• Family history of depression or mental illness
• Stress involved in caring for a newborn and managing new life changes
• Having a challenging baby who cries more than usual, is hard to comfort, or whose sleep and hunger needs are irregular and hard to predict
• Having a baby with special needs (premature birth, medical complications, illness)

Are you wondering why you feel down and unmotivated to do anything instead of enjoying these precious moments with your little bundle of joy? While many birthing parents experience what's called the "baby blues," you may be experiencing symptoms of postpartum depression if you find yourself feeling depressed for over two weeks beyond childbirth. Many parents feel extremely alone in their sadness, believing that they are the only ones who experience this. However, postpartum depression (along with other perinatal mood and anxiety disorders) is fairly common. The months following an infant's birth can be especially hard for mothers. In addition to the fluctuating hormones, many find that they don't have the support that they need. In my work with new parents, I assess for postpartum depression, anxiety, and childbirth trauma. I tailor treatment to your unique difficulties and therapy needs, incorporating research-supported therapy treatments. I also provide information on community resources, and am happy to collaborate with support persons you've identified, with your permission. I've taken Postpartum Support International's certification training in Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders, as well as their advanced psychotherapy training. I'm also currently serving as Co-Chair of PSI-FL's Board.
