Postpartum Depression Therapy in MI, MA, Co & IL
Is the weight of motherhood or being a caregiver to others taking it’s toll?
Maybe you're grappling with postpartum depression, feeling overwhelmed by the emotional rollercoaster of motherhood. You might find each day a challenge, struggling to bond with your baby or feeling distant and alone even when surrounded by loved ones. The joy you expected to feel has been replaced by anxiety, sadness, or exhaustion, leaving you questioning your ability as a mother.
You may feel like you're losing yourself beneath the weight of expectations, caught in a cycle of guilt for not being the perfect parent.
It may seem like your child is growing too quickly, and you’re not fully present to cherish those moments, all while worrying if your emotional state is affecting their well-being.
Communicating with your partner about co-parenting can feel impossible, especially with the added pressure of your own mental health.
Perhaps you're navigating unasked-for advice from family or friends, generating frustration as you strive to create a nurturing environment for your child.
You might also find it difficult to set boundaries with others, leading to further feelings of overwhelm in a time that should be filled with joy.
It's okay to admit that some days are hard. Whatever you’re experiencing, know that you’re not alone, and there is help available to guide you through this challenging time.
Postpartum Depression Therapy can help.
It may feel overwhelming right now, but you can overcome postpartum depression and build strong, connected relationships with your children. You can learn how to manage your emotions when those tough moments arise and support your little ones through their challenges. Establishing healthy boundaries within your family can lead to peace in your relationships, and I am here to guide you on this journey.

What are Postpartum Depression Therapy sessions like?
We will likely start working with you and include different family members in a session if necessary. My goal in our sessions is to ensure that you know and feel that we are on equal ground. I’m a mom, daughter, and partner just like you. I’m no better; I’ve just navigated through my own experiences with postpartum depression and have the skills to help you find your way. Through my work with women and extensive training, I’ve learned how to address these struggles, and I’m here to share that journey with you. During our sessions, you’re going to feel supported, inspired, and empowered to be the best version of yourself for the people you love.
How long do I need to be in therapy?
The length of therapy is different for everyone and based on your individual needs, but you can expect to work with me between 3-12 months. My ultimate goal is to get you out of therapy as soon as possible because that means you’re able to handle life without my help and life is coming together in the ways you want. You will see immediate and continuous improvements to your day to day life and can expect many learned skills and breakthroughs with your family while working with me!
