Feeling Overwhelmed by Pregnancy?

 

Pregnancy is full of excitement—but it can also bring stress, worry, and uncertainty. From choosing the perfect crib to preparing for delivery, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or unsure about every decision.

I’m here to help you feel grounded, confident, and supported—not just for your baby, but for you.

​

Understanding the Quiet Stress of Pregnancy

 

Sometimes stress doesn’t look like anxiety. You might notice:

​

• Constantly filling your days with tasks or research

• Hyper-organizing every detail

• Seeking reassurance or control through shopping or planning

• Struggling to enjoy your pregnancy because of past losses or conception challenges

​

These behaviors are common, but they can quietly build stress and make it harder to enjoy this special time.

 

Embracing Self-Compassion and Flexibility

 

Together, we’ll:

​

• Recognize when preparation turns into overwhelm

• Set boundaries around research, planning, and perfection

• Practice mindfulness and self-care strategies

• Trust your instincts and embrace flexibility

 

Planning for Postpartum (not just for baby)

 

It’s natural to focus on your baby—but your postpartum experience matters too. Preparing for yourself might include:

• Arranging support from family and friends

• Identifying helpful resources

• Planning for rest, self-care, and emotional support

 

My Approach

 

I offer warm, compassionate therapy tailored to your unique pregnancy journey. You’ll have a safe space to process worries, explore expectations, and build confidence for both pregnancy and postpartum.

 

Let’s work together to make this journey into motherhood as peaceful and fulfilling as possible.
