Whether becoming parents for the first time, or adding a new little member to the family, life with a new baby brings monumental change. Many new moms, dads and families benefit greatly from support dealing with the multitude of emotions they experience and practical tips to navigate the unchartered territory in which they now find themselves .

From birth trauma through the realization of the magnitude of responsibility that comes from caring for a little one, feelings of isolation, anxiety, lack of confidence and fear of making mistakes can overwhelm even the most competent person. These emotions coupled with lack of sleep and exhaustion sometimes gives way to post partum anxiety and depression.

Siblings that have voiced excitement at the thought of a new brother or sister, may act out in unexpected ways once the new baby arrives. Parents are often torn between caring for the newborn and giving older siblings the attention they crave.

You don’t have to handle these issues on your own. I would like to help. New parent sessions are an opportunity to address the difficulties you are experiencing, and help you hone your new parenting skills.

New parent sessions can be individual or as a couple, where new parents have a safe place and time dedicated to discussing their approaches to and roles in childcare. Distinct time is devoted to nurturing the couple relationship, which when in the throes of parenting, may have been necessarily placed on the back burner.
