Pregnancy Sessions
Pregnancy is often portrayed as a joyful, glowing experience—but the reality can be far more complex. Many individuals find themselves navigating a mix of excitement, fear, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm. Whether this is your first pregnancy or you've been on this journey before, it can bring up unexpected feelings, past traumas, or anxieties about the future. Shifts in identity, changes in relationships, and the physical and emotional demands of pregnancy can feel heavy and at times isolating.
Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to explore and process these experiences at your own pace. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, or simply feeling like you're not yourself, you're not alone. Together, we can work to reduce distress, strengthen your coping tools, and create space for self-compassion and connection. Your pregnancy journey is unique—and therapy can help you feel more grounded, seen, and supported as you move through it.
Anxiety During Pregnancy
Anxiety during pregnancy is common and can feel overwhelming, especially with the uncertainty and changes this time brings. Therapy offers a supportive space to explore fears, develop calming strategies, and build confidence in navigating the emotional and physical journey of pregnancy.
Areas of Support
Depression During Pregnancy
Depression during pregnancy can feel heavy and isolating, often accompanied by guilt or confusion about these emotions during a time that's expected to be joyful. Therapy provides a compassionate space to process these feelings, reduce self-blame, and build strategies for emotional support and connection during this significant life transition.
Relational Challenges
Pregnancy can bring unexpected strain to relationships as partners navigate shifting roles, emotions, and expectations. Therapy offers a space to strengthen communication, process tensions with care, and support connection during this time of profound change.
Loss Before or During Pregnancy
Experiencing loss before or during pregnancy—whether through miscarriage, stillbirth, termination for medical reasons, or fertility struggles—can be deeply painful and isolating. Therapy offers a supportive, non-judgmental space to process grief, honor your experience, and navigate the emotional impact of these complex and often invisible losses.
Trauma & Pregnancy
Birth and reproductive trauma—whether from a difficult delivery, medical complications, fertility treatments, or feeling dismissed in healthcare settings—can leave lasting emotional and physical impacts. Therapy provides a safe space to process these experiences, restore a sense of control, and support healing through compassionate, trauma-informed care.
Identity Shifts
Pregnancy often brings profound identity shifts, as individuals navigate changes in roles, relationships, and self-perception. Therapy offers space to explore these transitions with curiosity and compassion, helping to build a more grounded and empowered sense of self during this transformative time.
