Bio
Are you pregnant or just had a baby and not feeling like yourself? Is the transition to parenthood tougher than expected? Are you anxious, or fearful that you may drop your baby or other unpleasant thoughts that bother you? You are not alone and with help, you can get better. This is a great opportunity to get individualized support and dedicated time to help you along the parenthood journey.
