Pregnancy is often seen as a joyful time, but it can also bring significant emotional challenges. The physical changes, hormonal fluctuations, and life adjustments can contribute to heightened anxiety, mood swings, or feelings of overwhelm. It's not uncommon for women to experience intrusive thoughts, worry about the future, or feel disconnected from their bodies. If you're struggling with these emotions, therapy can provide support to better understand and manage your feelings

Grief is a deeply personal and complex experience, especially when it involves the loss of a pregnancy, a child, or the hope of having a child. The emotional pain can be overwhelming, and it can be difficult to understand how to move forward. Many people experience feelings of sadness, anger, guilt, or confusion during their grieving process. In therapy, you will have the opportunity to explore and process your grief in a safe, supportive environment. We will work together to help you understand and honor your feelings, while also creating space for healing and emotional recovery. Whether you’re grieving a loss through miscarriage, stillbirth, or infertility, therapy can help you find a path toward healing, self-compassion, and peace.

Therapy during this transition can help you process these emotions, develop self-compassion, and regain a sense of balance and control. Together, we can explore tools for managing your mental health and navigating this period with strength and resilience.
