Postpartum Anxiety

Postpartum Anxiety affects more and more families each year.

What if what I'm feeling isn't depression?

Many women do not know that postpartum anxiety is even a thing. You may think that only postpartum depression can occur after giving birth but in reality a few different mental health struggles can arise, including postpartum anxiety.

Why does PPA occur?

There are many contributing factors that can happen during the course of your pregnancy, childbirth, and after that can create a disconnection from self. Such as, your labor and delivery not going as planned, complications with the baby, unexpected grieving for the life you had before your latest child was born, and many more.

How does it show up?

Postpartum anxiety may seem like you are simply trying to keep your new baby safe. It is often difficult to tell the difference between being a mom who worries over her child and when it crosses over into postpartum anxiety. Postpartum anxiety can show up as not wanting to let anyone touch your baby (including your partner or family members),not wanting to leave your baby alone even when they are sleeping, feeling exhausted all the time, or feeling overwhelmed by what you considered simple tasks before.

How can I help?

I offer traditional talk therapy and, where appropriate, dance/movement therapy. Our sessions will focus on reconnecting you to yourself and the world, as well as getting to the root cause of your postpartum depression, so that you can experience relief as quickly as possible and grow from there.
