Couples Therapy for Pregnancy, Postpartum & Parenting Challenges

The transition to parenthood can bring significant changes to a relationship, from navigating new responsibilities and shifting roles to managing conflict, communication challenges, and changes in intimacy. With specialized training and experience in perinatal mental health, I help couples understand the unique emotional and relational challenges that can arise during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting. My work integrates Gottman Method principles, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and attachment-based approaches to help couples strengthen communication, navigate conflict, better understand each other's needs, and develop practical strategies for maintaining emotional connection and intimacy. Therapy provides space to address the impact of this season on your relationship while finding meaningful ways to support one another, share the mental load, and feel like partners as you navigate parenthood together.
