Pregnancy and early motherhood can be a joyous time but can also bring periods of mood fluctuations, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, isolation and fear. You are not alone in this time of transition, also known as matrescence, and with support you will feel better. As a licensed clinician with a specialization in perinatal mental health, I help to ensure women's mental and emotional health during any of the perinatal periods, which includes pregnancy, postpartum, perinatal grief and loss, and mothering during the early years.
