If your journey includes infertility, violated birth plans, birth crisis/trauma, NICU baby, fetal or neonatal loss, baby blues or postpartum anxiety/depression, and/or simply adjusting to motherhood, please know you can find a safe space for knowledge, guidance, and support here.
Grief and loss are a natural part of the human experience. Loss can be experienced in many forms— loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, a dream, or health. Loss can be overwhelming and painful. Grief can be disruptive, prolonged and paralyzing. Understanding the stages of grief, expressing thoughts & emotions, honoring the loss, and seeking support are important to the grieving process.
Transitions are inevitable, but how we cope helps us navigate them.
Are you learning to navigate the world as a young adult? Are you a new parent? Have you recently changed jobs? Had a break up? Become ill? Started taking care of someone? Together we can explore changes, set goals, and develop healthy coping skills.
Anxiety and depression are common mental health conditions that can significantly impact a person's quality of life. Do you ever feel it's difficult to motivate, exercise, seek light, and breathe fresh air? We know that engaging in nature and physically moving releases endorphins, raises dopamine receptors, reduces stress and anxiety, and lifts our mood. Walk and Talk Therapy can be incorporated into any treatment or session.
Parenting has to be one of the most challenging and trying times in our lives. Whether we are stressed with the rat race of everyday parenting, consumed with worries about our children, or facing multi-dimensional challenges/grief of parenting a child with different abilities or illness, support is here for you.
Relationships are the core of our existence and feeling connected is part of human survival. Learning to communicate effectively and resolve conflict with our family members, significant others, friends, and colleagues will lead to stronger and healthier relationships.
