    Specialized Care

    Pregnancy and postpartum are often described as joyful seasons—but for many women, they can be some of the most difficult. Anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, or traumatic birth experiences can leave you feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure of yourself as a new parent.

    At A New Day Psychology, I provide specialized care for women navigating these unique challenges. With advanced training in perinatal mental health and years of clinical experience, I help mothers and mothers-to-be find relief, strength, and hope during this transformative season.

    How Therapy Helps

    Treatment Approaches

    Depending on your needs, I may use approaches such as:

    Evidence-Based Methods

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and depression
    EMDR Therapy for birth trauma or traumatic loss (pregnancy loss, still birth, TFMR)
    Exposure and Response Prevention for severe anxiety and OCD
    Mindfulness and Acceptance-Based Therapies to reduce stress and promote balance
    Strengths-Based and Person-Centered Care to honor your values and goals
    Your Journey Matters
