Ready For Lasting Change?

I've experienced the challenges of being a mom.  I uniquely help my clients restore their resilience, provide support every step of the way, and get them the results that they deserve to thrive in motherhood!”~Dr. Danielle

 

Are You Ready for Your Transformation?  Here is what you can expect if you choose to work with Dr. Danielle:

​

  • Deconstruct common thought traps.  You will learn how to deconstruct thought traps that ensnare moms with postpartum depression. 

 

  • Reduce anxiety when feeling overwhelmed.  Imagine being able to control your racing thoughts and feel more empowered in your new role.  Trouble sleeping at night?  Envision improved sleeping habits so that you can actually sleep when your baby sleeps rather than worrying.

  

  • Mothering the mother with YOU in mind.  Everyone holds the baby but I hold space for mothers.  As mothers, we often over-sacrifice and I equip you with self-care strategies to decompress from compassion fatigue.  You know that feeling when it’s always somebody else’s needs and your own needs get neglected which leads to mama burnout!  Embracing your season of receiving help is made a priority.  Motherhood is not always joyful and you will be given a safe space to express challenges without judgment.

 

  • Resolve the perfectionism trap.  Do you feel like you’re failing as a mom?  Do you often think that you’re a hot mess?  Perinatal perfectionism can leave you feeling mentally drained!  You will be equipped with tools to balance work-life expectations.   

 

  • Alleviate postpartum anger.  Do you feel pissed off all of the time and feel like the littlest things send you into a rage?  Do you often take your anger out on your partner?  Moms who experience postpartum anger often don’t connect this as a symptom of postpartum depression.  You will learn how to proactively address the anger within a perinatal mental health lens so that you can feel more in control and uphold a healthier relationship with your partner. 

 

  • Heal from miscarriage loss.  If you had an ideal pregnancy or birth plan in mind, I’m willing to bet you never planned on the following: 

 “I’m going to have three miscarriages.”

"I’ll conceive after a miscarriage and be overwhelmed with anxiety throughout the pregnancy.”

 

And so on and so on.  I’m sure you get the picture.  You’ll discover how to navigate and overcome your fears so that you can preserve your peace and manifest your resilience.  You’ll be able to thrive through subsequent pregnancies and births with confidence!

 

  • Gain posttraumatic growth.  If you felt unheard and dismissed as a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Person of Color) mama, then you likely experienced racial trauma.  You are not alone, unfortunately many mothers of color have this experience, and know that racial trauma is real!  Dr. Danielle is a racial trauma expert and you will learn how to alleviate race-based traumatic stress. You will gain empowerment and posttraumatic growth as an outcome from all that you experienced and tools to combat racism within a perinatal mental health lens.  The healing that you'll access in therapy will be purposeful!

How Can Counseling Help?

Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are very common and often very treatable with Dr. Danielle's approach.  Many new parents are reluctant to reach out for help because of the stigma around dealing with your mental health or feelings of failure.  Adapting to your new life and the transition to parenthood is challenging for everyone.

We are here to let you know that you are not alone.

We can help you develop a new perspective and skills to help you thrive in your new role.
