What is Perinatal Mental Health?

Studies show that 1 in 5 perinatal individuals may experience perinatal depression or anxiety.
Pregnancy and the postpartum period bring profound physical, emotional, and psychological changes. While this time is often portrayed as joyful and fulfilling, many individuals experience overwhelming emotions, anxiety, depression, and identity shifts that can be difficult to manage alone. An expert in Perinatal Mental Health can support you in navigating the difference between baby blues and anxiety from new parenthood, and perinatal depression or anxiety. Often, prompt intervention can significantly improve your wellbeing and your connection to your child.

Gaby enjoys supporting birthing parents and non-birthing parents in their transition to parenthood. If you are a new parent or soon-to-be parent or support parent to someone experiencing postpartum distress, Gaby can support your emotional journey, your family's complications and your outlook for a balanced future. She is also trained in supporting individuals navigating infertility and alternate forms of conception including surrogacy, donors, and IVF.
