My clients struggle like you do. Despite being loving, hardworking, and excited about their baby, being a new parent is hard. 

When they first come in, they feel exhausted. They are having thoughts they don’t understand. They feel out of control of what they’re feeling and thinking. They feel physically and emotionally depleted.  

They worry their stress is having an impact on their baby. Their worry makes them worry. They cannot find peace in the same ways they could prior to the birth of their child. They are suffering and cannot find respite.

When they look in the mirror they don’t recognize themselves. They expected a change, but not this change. They feel disappointed in themselves, and feel guilt for not being more. They long to feel confident for themselves and for their baby.

Their exhaustion and stress gets in the way of their parenting in so many ways. They aren’t the self assured parent they want to be. They feel like they’re failing at providing and knowing themselves. And their happiness is plummeting.

Before they came to see me, they felt overwhelmed. They worried about being an insufficient parent.  And they were pretty certain they would never adjust to their new identity. Feeling inadequate is draining.
