Perinatal anxiety

Pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood can be an especially vulnerable time — even for people who are high-functioning and used to managing well. Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, mood changes, and emotional overwhelm are far more common than most people expect, and they often come with fear or shame.

I work with individuals experiencing perinatal and postpartum anxiety, depression, and intrusive thoughts, including distressing thoughts related to harm or safety. Many clients during this period are deeply loving, conscientious parents who feel frightened by their own thoughts and worried about what those thoughts might mean.

Treatment is supportive, steady, and grounded in evidence-based approaches for anxiety-driven perinatal concerns. The goal is to help you feel more grounded, capable, and connected during a challenging transition — and to remind you that you are not alone.
