Perinatal Mental Health Counseling
The path to and through parenthood can be beautiful, but it can also feel overwhelming, confusing, and at times, deeply painful. If you’re struggling with infertility, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, pregnancy loss, or simply wondering whether becoming a parent is right for you, you are not alone, and you deserve support.
At Her Journey Counseling, I offer a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can slow down and be fully seen and heard. This is a place where you can talk openly about the parts of your experience that feel heavy, complicated, or even conflicting, without fear of judgment.
Perinatal mental health challenges are more common than many people realize. You might be feeling anxious during pregnancy, disconnected after birth, grieving a loss, or questioning your identity and path forward. These experiences can feel isolating, but healing becomes possible when you have the right support.
In our work together, we’ll gently process your emotions, including grief, anxiety, and uncertainty, at a pace that feels safe for you. I incorporate evidence-based approaches for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, while also honoring your unique story and lived experience. Together, we’ll build coping tools, strengthen emotional resilience, and help you reconnect with yourself.
I provide therapy for women and individuals across all stages of the perinatal journey, including:
Preconception and fertility challenges
Pregnancy-related anxiety and emotional support
Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety
Birth trauma and difficult birth experiences
Miscarriage, pregnancy loss, and infant loss
Identity shifts and decision-making around parenthood
Whether you’re preparing for pregnancy, in the midst of it, or adjusting to life postpartum, my goal is to support your mental health and emotional well-being every step of the way.
You deserve to feel supported, grounded, and at peace in your journey. When you’re ready, we can begin that process together.
You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone
Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, especially when you're already carrying so much. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, grieving, anxious, or simply unsure of your next step, you deserve a space where you can be supported with care and understanding.
At Her Journey Counseling, you’ll be met with warmth, compassion, and respect for your unique experience. Together, we can create a path forward that feels more manageable, grounded, and aligned with who you are.
