Baby Woes?
Welcome to the Fourth Trimester…
There is a new addition to your family and it looks like the inability to allow baby out of your sight, waking up in the middle of the night unable to catch your breath, or unrelenting fights with your partner….that new addition could be a Perinatal Mood or Anxiety Disorder (PMADs).
The added pressures of social distancing mandates and guidelines has led to many birth persons feeling overwhelmed. Are you being told you will have to labor alone? Maybe you feel like an already structurally racist, homophobic, and transphobic medical system has all but left you feeling undervalued.

The pandemic may have brought a myriad of added stressors to the life events of pregnancy and parenthood. Have you notice any symptoms of:
Is frustration and irritability affecting your ability to make it through the day without snapping at others?
Validation of feelings and looking at core beliefs are just two methods I use with a client during our sessions.
Self-preservation was so 2020. This year the goal is to focus on healing and self-compassion.

Are you the 1 in 6?
1 in 6 Black women give birth too soon due to racial disparities in the healthcare system. 1 in 8 Alaska Native and American Indian women do not have access to adequate and consistent prenatal care. The infant mortality rate is 10.8 per 1000 births in the US for Black women and 8.2 per 1000 for Alaska Native and American Indian women.
That number is far too high. Perhaps you found this site because you experienced a loss. It is okay to not be okay. The first step was recognizing you may not be okay. The next step is contacting me and scheduling a free consultation to see if we can embark on a journey to acceptance of the here and now.
Grief is Personal.
