Two puzzle pieces connecting symbolizing support for partners in therapy

Support for non-birthing partners and fathers

About 1 in 10 fathers experience postpartum depression, yet their needs are often overlooked or minimized.

Many partners carry emotional burdens in silence—strong and capable on the outside, but quietly overwhelmed on the inside. You may have learned early on not to need, feel, or burden anyone, and for years you’ve handled everything alone. Over time, this can show up as emotional distance you never intended: difficulty naming your feelings, shame around opening up, and rising anxiety as you try to support those you love. Therapy offers a space to explore what you truly need, in a way that feels authentic to you, so you can move through life and relationships with greater freedom and connection.

With advanced perinatal mental health training, I work with partners to navigate the emotional, relational, and practical shifts that come with pregnancy, birth, and life afterward.
