PERIPARTUM & PARENTING

THERAPY for PERIPARTUM & PARENT SUPPORT

Parenting is one of life’s most rewarding and meaningful experiences - but it can also be exhausting, overwhelming, and deeply challenging. Whether you are preparing to welcome a child or navigating the complexities of parenthood, I offer support tailored to your needs. Some parents benefit from focused coaching and problem-solving, while others seek deeper therapeutic work to process unresolved experiences that have resurfaced during pregnancy and parenting. Together, we can help you strengthen your well-being and create a healthier, more connected family environment.

Parenting a secure, resilient child begins with our own sense of security. As Daniel Siegel and Mary Hartzell explain in Parenting from the Inside Out:

“Those of us who have had difficult early life experiences can create coherence by making sense of the past and understanding its impact on the present and how it shapes our interactions with our children…In this way, we are not destined to repeat the patterns of the past because we can earn our security as an adult by making sense of our life experiences”

More than six decades of attachment research confirm that children with a secure bond to at least one caregiver are more likely to:

• Solve problems on their own

• Get along better with friends

• Learn better in the school environment

• Enjoy more happiness with their parents

• Have better relationships with their siblings

• Have lasting friendships

• Know that most problems can be resolved

• Trust that good things will come their way

• Trust their loved ones

• Be kind to those around them

• Have higher self esteem

By understanding your own experiences, strengths and struggles, you can heal past burdens, creating the space to truly see your child and support their authentic growth. Therapy provides an opportunity to reflect, grow, and build the foundations for a secure and meaningful parent-child relationship.
