Also, wanted to share this this weekend:

Hi all! I finally added another blog post to my website and wanted to share

"How to Explain Mental Load to your Husband or Partner"

According to Gottman's work published in the APA, Couples report 67% marital dissatisfaction for the first 3 years after having a baby. Mental load is one contributing factor.

Infertility and perinatal depression or anxiety online therapy in Massachusetts Couples report 67% marital dissatisfaction for the first 3 years after having a baby. Mental load is one contributing factor.

Perinatal mental health conditions are treatable! Please don't hesitate to reach out to myself, others providers, or the supports below. PSI also has a large number of support groups including perinatal support, pregnancy loss, and fertility challenges.

"Mom guilt" is hard and self-care is easier said than done when you are in survival mode! But when the opportunity to tend to one of your needs arises, it can be helpful to ask yourself, " How will this benefit my child, children, or family if I do this for myself?"

Hope everyone is enjoying this summer weather! I recently updated my LLC to Fulfillment Therapy for Women. Still have openings for telehealth for Tuesdays or Thursdays currently. Please check out my website reach out! I'll be making some updates with the name change:)

Caring for a newborn is only part of the load, there’s a whole layer of invisible work that comes with it.

Sleep deprivation, healing bodies, feeding struggles, endless appointments, pressure to host, pressure to “bounce back,” pressure to do it all… It’s no wonder postpartum feels so heavy.

If you’ve felt overwhelmed, unseen, or like you’re drowning under the weight of it, you’re not alone. You were never meant to carry this by yourself.

Therapy can be a place to set some of that weight down, process the changes, and feel supported in a season that is often far more demanding than anyone prepares us for. Our maternal mental health specialists understand the invisible load of postpartum.

We offer specialized maternal mental health therapy across the U.S. and Canada.

In the U.S., we are in-network in CA, TX, FL, NY, IL, PA, VA, and many other states, with average copays between $0–$30 per session.
