About

The client I usually meet has a diaper bag packed for every scenario and no plan at all for herself. She can soothe everyone in the house except the person doing all the soothing. My practice centers on perinatal mental health, from pregnancy through the whole first year and well beyond it. We get practical about building real support and honest about everything else: the identity whiplash, the unseen workload, the way asking for help got harder somewhere along the way. Before private practice I worked in nonprofit family services, and those years left me stubbornly hopeful about what people can do with even a little genuine backing. Expect energy, honesty, and a therapist who really believes this gets better, because I have watched it get better again and again. The baby is welcome at every session, and so is the mess. If you want a hopeful ally in this, say hello.
