pregnancy/new mom
Congratulations you are going to be a mom!
You are excited, anxious, and worried. There is a lot to think about now. There is another little person you have to worry about. So, you are not falling into the ‘happy’ or ‘glowing’ category, but this is why you are here. You are suddenly anxious, worried, and scared. You already feel like a bad mom for not being as happy as you have seen other pregnant moms. You feel like you are watching a suspense movie and biting your nails at every turn. Reality just set in and now you are freaking out.
What do I do now?
Will I have a miscarriage?
Will my baby be healthy?
How come I don’t feel ‘normal’ anymore?
You still feel the need to be a high functioning multi-tasker with ambition. You did not expect to add depression and anxiety to the mix. You are now asking yourself more questions than ever.
Will I be a good mother?
Will I be able to handle being a mother and a partner?
How am I going to love all my children?
How am I going to do everything?
What do I do with thoughts that I am ashamed or scared of thinking?

Post-partum
It is ok to feel confused, overwhelmed, scared, angry, ashamed, selfish, sad and happy…all at the same time. You are probably wondering how all these feelings can be happening all at once. You tell yourself that you are ‘ok’ and you try to convince yourself that the feeling you are having will ‘go away’ soon, and it is not. Everyday tasks seem like mountains that you cannot climb, and you are too tired to care. Your mind or loved ones are telling you to ‘snap out of it’ and you feel defeated that you have not yet.
You feel that you are sinking further into the ‘black hole’ of motherhood. You start to think that your baby will be better off with a different mom or a new mom…just not you.. You can feel in control again; we will do this together.
I can help you find relief and enjoy the life of motherhood. We will climb those mountains and reach the other side together without feeling ashamed or guilty. We will rebuild your confidence and trust in yourself again. Putting ‘you’ first is not selfish. Asking yourself, “What do I need?” is the first step in feeling better. If you are struggling to answer that you are not alone. I will walk along beside you to identify and attend to your unique needs based on your values.
