We’ll start by getting to know each other. Our first sessions are a space for me to understand what’s bringing you in and what kind of support would feel most helpful right now. Together, we’ll make sense of the challenges you’re navigating, whether that’s the perinatal period, adult ADHD, trauma, major life transitions, body image concerns, or depression and anxiety.
Each follow-up meeting will be for us to slowly unravel the root of things and understand how to move forward.

The perinatal period, from pregnancy through the first year postpartum (and sometimes beyond), is a time of significant change. Hormonal shifts, identity transformation, relationship dynamics, sleep deprivation, and increased mental load often happening all at the same time. For many people, this can bring emotional and psychological challenges that feel overwhelming and unexpected.
Common concerns during the perinatal period may include:
Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), such as postpartum depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts/OCD, or panic
Adult ADHD, including increased difficulty with focus, organization, emotional regulation, overwhelm, and sensory overload
Major life transitions, such as becoming a parent, returning to work, shifts in identity, partnership strain, or changes in roles and expectations
Body image and self-esteem concerns, including changes in body size, function, appearance, and the emotional meaning attached to those changes
Grief and loss, including loss of a previous sense of self, birth expectations, perinatal loss, fertility experiences, or autonomy
Stress related to societal and cultural messages about parenthood, including pressure to feel grateful, bonded, or fulfilled
These experiences often overlap and influence one another. For example, ADHD can intensify anxiety during the perinatal period, or body image concerns may deepen feelings of depression or disconnection. None of this means something is “wrong” with you. It means you are navigating a complex developmental and emotional transition.
Therapy offers a space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and develop support that honors both your nervous system and your lived experience.
