Welcoming a baby into your family can bring up a lot of complicated emotions.  Happiness, love, anxiety, overwhelm and exhaustion are all common feelings experienced by new parents.   If feelings of sadness and anxiety are persistent and lasting more then a few weeks it might be helpful to seek additional support.  Adjusting to your new life with baby can be challenging and the transition can feel more stable with professional guidance.  I hold a certificate in treating postpartum and perinatal issues and am a mom myself which helps me understand the challenges new parents face. 

Some ways that I can help:

 

• Adjustment to baby / balancing life schedules

• Re connecting to partner / maintaining connection

•  Reducing feelings of sadness, overwhelm and anxiety 

• Assessing/ treatment for postpartum anxiety and depression 

• Managing expectations 

• “Mom guilt”/ returning to work

• Managing family roles

• Co parenting 

• Attachment and bonding
   

I welcome new parents to bring their infants with them to session as I know it can be difficult to leave them in the early months.
