Pregnancy Counseling
Safe, Affirming, Collaborative
Your feelings and experiences belong to you, but you are not alone. With the right help and support you can begin to feel better. Detailed information about my services related to pregnancy can be found below.
Pregnancy can be a complex and challenging time.
Countless feelings surface as your identity changes to make space for your pregnancy. Many of the feelings might be new and unfamiliar, while others are old feelings and struggles that return in a new light.
Your relationships with your spouse, partner, family, or friends may begin to change as well.
All your feelings, whether those of joy, fear, hope, or sadness are real and nothing to be ashamed of. I offer a place for you to feel heard, respected, and understood.
For those who work with me:
Ihonor your reproductive decisions.
If you’ve experienced loss, this is a safe space for your grief.
We’ll identify and explore your feelings related to you or your partner’s pregnancy.
We’ll work together to develop strategies to help you feel more yourself again.
If you or your partner is experiencing a high-risk pregnancy or have received a fetal diagnosis:
I have experience working with individuals and couples on issues related to medical decision making, perinatal palliative care, grief and loss, newborn hospitalization, and hospital discharge.
I can help you prepare for and process your experiences during pregnancy through delivery.
We’ll work together to develop coping and communication strategies specific to you and your pregnancy.
If you have a previous mental health history, now is a great time to connect with a mental health provider to help you develop a pregnancy and postpartum support plan.
