Perinatal & Reproductive Mental Health

​

Emotional support through fertility, pregnancy, birth, and the transition to parenthood.

 

The journey toward parenthood can bring hope, uncertainty, grief, and profound changes in identity and relationships. Fertility challenges, IVF, pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period can be emotionally complex, even when these experiences are deeply wanted.

Psychotherapy offers a space to explore feelings that may be difficult to express elsewhere, including anxiety, disappointment, ambivalence, loss, and the pressure to feel a certain way during this stage of life.

My approach integrates psychodynamic psychotherapy and, when clinically appropriate, EMDR to help you explore distressing experiences and understand their impact.

Therapy may address:

• The emotional impact of fertility challenges and IVF

• Anxiety and uncertainty during pregnancy

• Distressing or traumatic birth experiences

• Postpartum adjustment and changes in identity

• Reproductive grief and loss

• Changes in relationships, expectations, and self-image

 

A space for your experience

 

You do not have to navigate these experiences alone. Therapy can provide room for your feelings and experiences to be understood without judgment, at a pace that feels appropriate for you.
