Postpartum Support
The postpartum period is a time of immense change—physically, emotionally, and relationally. While bringing a baby into the world can be filled with love and excitement, it can also surface exhaustion, overwhelm, and unexpected emotional struggles. Many individuals experience mood shifts, anxiety, irritability, or sadness in the weeks after giving birth. For some, these symptoms persist or intensify into postpartum depression or anxiety. These are common and treatable experiences, but they can feel isolating—especially when societal messages idealize new parenthood as purely joyful.
Therapy offers a compassionate space to process the many layers of postpartum life. Whether you’re grieving a difficult birth, feeling disconnected from yourself or your baby, navigating identity shifts, or coping with changes in your relationships, you don’t have to go through it alone. Together, we can explore your experiences, make sense of your feelings, and help you feel more grounded and supported during this major life transition. Reaching out for help is a brave and important step in taking care of yourself and your family.
