Pregnancy + Pospartum

  • Are you feeling disconnected from yourself? Maybe you feel unable to connect with your new baby or are experiencing intense anxiety around the safety of your baby. The period following birth is the largest hormonal drop any human will experience and can lead to significant emotional difficulties.

  • Are you feeling disconnected from yourself while pregnant? Is pregnancy not what you expected it to be? Maybe you are feeling panic and anxiety thinking about birth, becoming a mother, or whether you will be able to stay pregnant.

  • Is your partner pregnant or did they just have a baby? Maybe you are feeling helpless and unable to support them. Maybe you are struggling to connect with your partner during this journey or having difficulties feeling connected to your new baby.

There is Hope

Talk therapy can help provide a safe space to process your emotions, fears, and difficulties with connection. Therapy can help you learn to communicate these feelings to yourself and your support person, including how to talk openly, express your needs, and get support from one another.

Additionally, therapy can assist with boundary setting, increasing self-compassion and tending wounds while connecting with your inner child.

EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy) is an evidence based treatment that taps into your natural ability to heal from past emotional wounds, get unstuck and move forward.

EMDR works more quickly than talk therapy in resolving emotional distress and letting go of limiting core beliefs connected to past traumas.
