Postpartum

Depression &Anxiety

Therapy in Fairfield County, CT

Bringing a new baby into your life can be joyful—but it can also feel overwhelming, exhausting, and unexpectedly difficult. If you’re feeling anxious, sad, disconnected, or unlike yourself, you are not alone. Postpartum depression and anxiety are common, treatable conditions, and support is available.

I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy for new and expecting mothers throughout Fairfield County, Connecticut. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, supported, and like yourself again.

What Are Postpartum Depression & Anxiety?

Postpartum mental health challenges can show up in many ways. You might experience:

  • Persistent sadness, tearfulness, or hopelessness

  • Excessive worry or racing thoughts

  • Difficulty sleeping (even when your baby sleeps)

  • Irritability or feeling overwhelmed

  • Trouble bonding with your baby

  • Feelings of guilt, shame, or inadequacy

  • Panic attacks or intrusive thoughts

These experiences are more common than many people realize—and they are not a reflection of your strength or your ability as a parent.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to process what you’re going through and begin to feel better. In our work together, we may:

  • Identify and manage anxious or negative thought patterns

  • Develop coping strategies to reduce overwhelm

  • Improve sleep and self-care routines

  • Strengthen your support system

  • Process the emotional transition into motherhood

  • Address identity changes and relationship challenges

I tailor each session to your unique needs, meeting you wherever you are in your journey.

My Approach

I use a warm, collaborative, and practical approach grounded in evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques. My work is trauma-informed and centered on helping you feel understood, empowered, and supported.

Whether you’re navigating postpartum depression, anxiety, or simply feeling unlike yourself after having a baby, therapy can help you reconnect with your inner strength and move forward with confidence.

  • New mothers (up to the first year postpartum and beyond)
