Gentle, Affirming Support for the Fog of Postpartum

Whether you’re feeling a heavy sense of hopelessness, struggling to bond, or feeling constantly on edge with rage or anxiety, you are not alone. This isn't just "the baby blues," and you don’t have to “just get through it”.

Postpartum Depression is an isolating experience that can make you feel like a stranger to yourself. You might feel overwhelmed by the simplest tasks or paralyzed by the expectations of parenthood. I’m here to help you process the heavy emotions and rebuild your path to wellness.

Everything is Changing

Postpartum Depression takes incredible strength to endure. It often brings up a deep sense of inadequacy, leaving many to ask, “Why don’t I feel the way I’m 'supposed' to feel?”

Common signs that PPD is taking a toll include:

  • A persistent "heavy" feeling or a sense of numbness and apathy

  • Intrusive, scary thoughts that make you feel like a "bad" parent

  • Loss of interest in things you used to love, including time with your baby

  • Overwhelming "postpartum rage" or irritability that feels out of character

If You’re Struggling to Bond or Feeling "Checked Out"

If the connection doesn't feel the way you expected… You may be experiencing:

  • A "robotic" feeling of just going through the motions

  • Crushing guilt that you aren't "bonding" fast enough

  • Social withdrawal from friends, family, and your partner

  • The feeling that your baby would be better off with someone else

  • Panic attacks or a heart that won't stop racing

This is the depression talking—it is not the truth. You’re allowed to be struggling. You aren’t failing; you are navigating a medical and emotional crisis. You deserve a safe space to recover without judgment.

The Path to Recovery Together

Postpartum Depression can make you feel like your "old self" is gone forever. I’m here to tell you that she is still there—she’s just buried under the weight of this season. My role is to provide the clinical tools and compassionate space needed to lift that weight.

Step 1: Stabilize and Support

We start by addressing the basics: sleep, nutrition, and immediate safety. We’ll look at your support system to ensure you have the "scaffolding" needed to begin healing.

Step 2: Understand the Experience

We’ll identify the specific ways PPD is showing up for you—whether it's depression, anxiety, or OCD. Understanding why your brain is reacting this way helps remove the power of the symptoms.

Step 3: Process and Deconstruct

We’ll gently work through the "internal critic" and the guilt. We’ll address any birth trauma or unmet expectations that may be fueling the depression.

Step 4 - Reclaim Your Identity

You are a whole person, not just a parent or a patient. We’ll work on reconnecting with your interests, your body, and your confidence, moving from "survival mode" back into "living mode."

Step 5: Sustainable Wellness

We’ll build a toolkit for the future. You’ll learn how to set boundaries and prioritize your mental health so that you can show up for your family from a place of wholeness, not depletion.
