Working with folx during their postpartum journey is my jam! One thing that often comes up between the consultation and first couple of sessions is the sense of relief of finding support. Take a look 👀 at this article to see what effective supports can look like for you or a loved one.

Welcoming a new baby into your life is a whirlwind of emotions. Joy, exhaustion, excitement, and sometimes, unexpected sadness. If you’ve found yourself feeling overwhelmed or down after childbirth, you’re not alone. Postpartum depression is more common than many realize, and the good news is th...

Hearing this news last week and reading this article, my heart hurts for this momma, her babies, and their family. It also hurts for our field and the broader community.

It’s hard not to suspect or deduce that PMADS were likely at play here. Grief and loss while still navigating the fragile postpartum period. It’s so important that the greater society is educated about perinatal mental health and that we continue to care for one another. My heart hurts and I’m pushed to do more.

It’s okay to NOT be okay. Seeking help is STRENGTH. A loved one noticing any differences and checking in can save lives! One death is one too many 😞.

Here’s to a New Year! We’re all about vulnerability over here…and 2023 was both amazing and incredibly challenging! I am so grateful for all of my clients and colleagues who have helped grow ADJ Counseling and hope to grow even more in 2024!

Although I don’t like “resolutions” I do encourage thoughtful reflection and the setting of goals & intentions! So, I’m setting the goal to be more present on social media.

Whew...recently I have felt the pressure to be "productive". My to-do list is LONNNGGG and there doesn't seem to be enough time in the day to do "all of the things."

This has been my mantra the last few weeks..."Taking care of yourself is productive." We are not superhuman, even if we would like to think so. We need to recharge, disconnect, and take care of ourselves.

Time for a parenting check-in. Sometimes we fall into the trap of black and white thinking. We’re either awesome parents 🤩 or we are failing miserably 😞…

I’m here to tell you THATS NOT TRUE! You can be a great parent AND be utterly exhausted. We exist in the grey. How are you feeling as a parent?

Let’s take a moment to chat about anxiety…

We all experience anxiety to some degree. Sometimes it can be a helpful internal motivator, and other times can be debilitating. No one likes to worry or struggle, so we often want to get rid of our anxious feelings and the thoughts that accompany it. I always say feelings aren’t bad, and yes that includes uncomfortable feelings associated with anxiety. Using cognitive-based strategies to counter our anxious thoughts can be so helpful.

This is your reminder that your thoughts aren’t always helpful and can perpetuate those uncomfortable feelings.
