Counseling
Perinatal & Postpartum Counseling
Compassionate support through pregnancy, postpartum depression and anxiety, and the changes of new parenthood.
About this service
Care for mom, too.
Are you expecting a baby soon, or have you recently given birth and are looking for some extra support? I am here to help.
Becoming a mother is one of life’s biggest transitions. It changes your life in many ways and has the potential to bring much joy and fulfillment — and preparing your body, mind, and spirit matters in your journey to motherhood.
Too often, mothers fall through the cracks in getting the care they need after leaving the hospital or birth center. Moms need care just like new babies do, and it’s easy to get so busy caring for baby that mom’s needs go unmet — which can lead to symptoms of depression and anxiety. Take this important step and get the support you need so you can enjoy your baby more. Babies are welcome to join us.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between the baby blues and postpartum depression?
The baby blues are common in the first couple of weeks after birth — mood swings, tearfulness, and overwhelm that gradually ease. Postpartum depression is more intense and lasts longer: persistent sadness, anxiety, trouble bonding, or not feeling like yourself. If hard feelings linger beyond a few weeks, it’s worth reaching out — it’s common and very treatable.
When should I reach out for support?
There’s no ‘bad’ time. Some moms come during pregnancy to prepare; others reach out weeks or months postpartum. If you’re feeling persistently anxious, low, or simply not like yourself, that’s reason enough.
Is perinatal counseling covered by insurance?
Insurance typically covers therapy when there’s a diagnosis such as depression or anxiety, which is common in the postpartum period. We’ll confirm your coverage during the free consultation.
Can I bring my baby to sessions?
Yes — babies are warmly welcome to join us, in person or over telehealth.
