  • Sleep deprivation and exhaustion 
  • Feelings of guilt or self-doubt 
  • Difficulty asking for help 
  • Worry about being a "good enough" parent 

Seeking support during this time is a sign of strength, not weakness.

FAQs About Support

Is it normal to feel anxious during pregnancy or after giving birth?

Many people experience increased stress, worry, or emotional ups and downs during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Therapy can provide support in understanding these experiences and developing healthy coping strategies. If symptoms become intense, persistent, or interfere with daily functioning, it's important to seek professional help.

Is this therapy only for postpartum concerns?

No. Therapy can be helpful during pregnancy, while preparing for birth, throughout the postpartum period, and as you continue adjusting to the changes that come with parenthood.

Can I attend therapy if I'm also receiving medical care?

Yes. Therapy can complement the care you receive from your obstetrician, midwife, primary care provider, or other healthcare professionals. Mental health support is one part of overall wellness during pregnancy and postpartum.

Do you provide online therapy throughout Hawaii?

Yes. I provide secure online therapy for adults located throughout Hawaii.
