It’s okay to not be okay, and with help, you will get better.

Does this sound familiar?

Are you a mom, or mom-to-be ….. 

  • Being pregnant is not what you expected, yet everyone keeps talking about how beautiful the process is, leaving you to feel…. Lonely, unheard, and misunderstood 

  • You took classes, read books, yet you still feel overwhelmed and unprepared for the demands of motherhood

  • Bonding with your baby harder than you thought it was going to be

  • You thought you would be feeling so much love, but most days you feel…. disconnected

  • Your relationship with your partner and others is changing

  • You continue to struggle in parenting, going through the same motions despite setting goals of how you’re going to do it differently tomorrow. You end up feeling…… stuck


You’ve been through something overwhelming …..

  • You are feeling anxious and don’t know how to manage upsetting, sticky thoughts

  • It’s getting harder to manage irritability and anger, and it’s affecting your personal and work relationships 

  • You continue to react in ways you don’t want to and don’t know how to stop 

  • You feel tense and jumpy, especially when alone at night

  • You just don’t feel like yourself anymore
