YOU DON’T HAVE TO CARRY THIS ALONE
A place to talk about
the hard parts.
Depression & disconnection
You may feel sad, numb, or distant from the moments you expected to enjoy. You do not need perfect words for what is happening to start a conversation.
Intrusive thoughts & perinatal OCD
Unwanted thoughts and repeated doubts can feel difficult to talk about. Rachael has training in I-CBT for perinatal OCD and offers a space to discuss your experience.
Rage, overwhelm & identity changes
Feeling overstimulated, losing your temper, or wondering who you are now can be exhausting. We can make room for your needs alongside your role as a mother.
