Pregnancy and Postpartum
A woman’s reproductive years can be filled with life changing events, both joyful and painful. Sometimes the emotional toll of these events can become overwhelming, particularly when distressing thoughts and feelings develop and persist. Rest assured that you are not alone in these reactions. Any woman can experience unexpected and upsetting emotional changes during pregnancy or after the birth of a child. However, when these reactions don't go away, become disturbing, or interfere with your daily life, a more serious clinical condition may be present.
If you are concerned about mood or behavior changes during pregnancy, postpartum, or following a loss, therapy can help. We will work with you to create a plan that targets your specific symptoms, reduces stress, builds coping skills, restores self-esteem and hope, and improves overall well-being so that you can move forward in this season of your life. Know that your symptoms are treatable and that you deserve to feel better. Reach out for help today.
Infertility and Loss
When you set out to grow your family, you likely didn't imagine a journey marked by disappointment, frustration, guilt, or shame. Being diagnosed with infertility can be shocking and devastating. For many, it is a life crisis. Painful feelings, isolation, and traumatic losses are common. You may find that you and your partner cope differently with these struggles, adding relationship tension and strain to an already painful situation. When infertility-related stress (emotional, physical, spiritual, financial) becomes too much, even the most well-adjusted individuals and couples may suffer.

You have a unique reproductive story, and we are here to listen. We will provide you guidance and emotional support, while offering information and resources to help you make the reproductive decisions that are right for you and your family.
