About

Let me say the true thing first: finding a therapist while caring for an infant is faintly absurd. You barely have a hand free, and here I am suggesting you add a weekly appointment. And yet one hour that belongs entirely to you can change the shape of an entire week. My focus is perinatal mental health, from the strangeness of pregnancy through the long adjustment that follows it. My first job in this field was answering crisis calls overnight, and those nights made me steady company: very little you could tell me would be new, and nothing you could tell me would change how I see you. I will cheer quietly for you while you do the brave parts, and I will point out progress you are too tired to notice yourself. Start with the smallest possible step: one short message, sent whenever the nap schedule permits it.
