Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist and Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist
My focus at all times is to include both parents in therapeutic work regarding postpartum depression as mothers are often burdened with being the sole patient. While post partum depression needs to be assessed with respect to organic causes, it also needs to be understood with respect to the mother's relationship to her partner and her own early childhood and life history.
Postpartum exists for as long as we are parents. And parenting is one of the hardest things we have ever done. Our children are our mirrors and force us to look at our deeper self; our triggers, our hurts, the yearnings of our hearts. Wanting to offer our babies the best possible launching pad to create their own meaningful and satisfying lives means we need to attend to our own stuff so that we can put it aside and be with them completely. I can help you meet your hurt inner child and empower you with tools to support the loving connection you wish to foster within your family unit.
Postpartum depression is real. You don't have to do this alone. I will sit with you in this and together we will find your unique path with compassion and kindness.
Post-partum depression can manifest in many ways. Life isn't the same after having a baby, but I am here to listen and to help you get back to your life.
