Whether you are pregnant, trying to conceive, expecting a new baby, or trying to grow your family, this stage of life can bring excitement, worry, and unknowns. Therapy provides a supportive space to process the emotions, changes, and uncertainties that come with this stage, so you can feel more connected, supported and prepared.

Adjusting to life with a newborn can be both a joyful and exhausting time. The postpartum stage is a time of completely new experiences and constant changes, all while learning how to care for your baby and learning about yourself as a parent. You may have even thought, ‘this isn’t what I expected it to be like”. You’re not alone! Together, we will work to process the many emotions and experiences that arise, whether it’s navigating mood changes, identity shifts, relationship stress, or the daily challenges of caring for your young child.

Raising young children—from infancy through the preschool years—brings a wide range of emotions, including joy, frustration, and overwhelm. From tantrums, sleep difficulties, to setting boundaries or navigating difficult family dynamics or stressful events, parenting can be so challenging. Parenting can also stir up childhood memories and the desire to do things differently than how you were parented. I am here to support you in processing your experiences and helping you find a sense of balance and calm so you can be the parent you want to be.

Parenting young children through foster care, adoption or kinship placement can be both deeply meaningful and emotionally demanding. Supporting foster, adoptive, and kinship caregivers requires a deep understanding of attachment, trauma, and the unique dynamics within the family system and/or the child welfare system. I am here to walk alongside you to process the emotional complexities that arise, to manage the stress, support your wellbeing and individual needs, while strengthening your capacity to connect and nurture.
