COUNSELING
Transition to Motherhood
and the Early Years
Counseling for new parents in Winter Park, Florida
Helping you navigate parenthood so you can feel confident and supported.
Your desired results are possible.
You’ve always looked forward to starting a family but it’s harder than you imagined. It feels isolating and unpredictable and you miss your pre-baby life.
I’ll provide a safe space to process the difficult thoughts and feelings related to parenthood. We’ll work to decrease your defeating and blaming thoughts so you can feel confident and supported in this journey of parenthood.
How I help
I help women in their journey to motherhood and in the transition period that follows. Motherhood is beautiful and exciting but also messy and unpredictable. That can be hard for women who are used to having it all together and who thrive on predictability. I’ll help you establish boundaries, release the guilt, and stabilize your mood so you can feel like yourself again.
I use a client centered approach which means I create a very personalized healing plan for each client I work with. I pull from a solution focused and cognitive behavioral background to help you feel better faster. We will identify your negative thoughts/beliefs and create a new narrative. There’s a potential for using EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) to process negative beliefs you’ve developed about yourself so that you can release the past and grow into the best version of you.
When we begin working together I want to spend time getting to know you. I want to hear your story: your strengths, your support system, the idea of of what you dreamed parenthood would be and what the real experience has been like. My goal is for you to feel heard and seen in our sessions together and to develop hope that things will feel better.
