About

New clients often arrive braced to be judged. Here is what I wish each of them could know ahead of time: nothing you are thinking or feeling will be too much for this room. I work with women in the first year after birth, when the gap between how you expected to feel and how you actually feel can be widest. Together we name what is happening, sort out what needs treatment and what needs sleep and support, and build a way forward you can actually live inside. My training was in community mental health, where I learned to be useful quickly and to respect the weight people carry through an ordinary day. Sessions with me are focused and honest, with room for tears and for the occasional absurdity of life with a newborn. If this sounds like a fit, send a brief message whenever you can manage it. No need to arrive with anything figured out.
