Safety planning saves lives. Whether you are pregnant, postpartum, or supporting someone who is, having a mental health plan on hand is essential.

I created a free, downloadable Pregnancy & Postpartum list of phone numbers, crisis hotlines/warmlines and other resources (in blog).

Print it for your fridge. Screenshot it on your phone. Share it with a friend, loved one, family member. No one should struggle alone and you shouldn't have to scramble to find phone numbers and resources. 💛

Bringing a baby into the world is often described as a joyful and magical time—but for many, it is also a season marked by emotional overwhelm, anxiety, grief, or unexpected mental health challenges. Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) are the most common complication of pregnancy and po...

Postpartum mood and anxiety disorders impact men, birthing partners, adoptive parents as well as women/birthing people. Make sure to check in on the partners. If you are struggling there is support out there and you are not alone.

Self-compassion is a powerful way of changing an inner negative voice and regulating the nervous system. You have the power to change the relationship with yourself-below are a few ideas on where to begin.

Self-compassion is a powerful practice that can transform how we relate to ourselves. Here are six simple yet profound ways to bring more kindness and care into your life:
ㅤ
1️⃣ Ask yourself, 'What do I need?': Pause for a moment and check in. Do you need rest, reassurance, movement, or connection? Listening to yourself with curiosity and care is a powerful act of self-compassion.
ㅤ
2️⃣ Treat Yourself Like a Friend: Speak to yourself with the same kindness and understanding you’d offer a dear friend.
ㅤ
3️⃣ Supportive Touch: A gentle hand on your heart or a comforting self-hug can soothe and ground you in moments of distress.
ㅤ
4️⃣ Write a Self-Compassionate Letter: Put pen to paper and offer yourself words of comfort and encouragement, just as you would to someone you love.
ㅤ
5️⃣ Remember You Aren’t Alone: It’s important to acknowledge that we all face challenges—this imperfection is what makes us human.
ㅤ
6️⃣ Use a Warm Inner Tone of Voice: Try to adopt a gentle tone with yourself, especially when things go wrong. Practice patience, understanding, and warmth toward yourself.

I thoroughly enjoyed presenting and discussing postpartum myths and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders with these wonderful Postpartum Doulas during a weekend training by In Joy Birth. 💜. The passion and beautiful hearts in that room will undoubtedly make a positive impact on families across Central Florida.

We had a very successful postpartum doula training this weekend. Thank you to Tiffany Lowther, MA, LMHC, PMH-C for sharing your wisdoms and advice! Knowhow to be the first line of defense and knowing how to properly resource, as a Doula, is invaluable.

I enjoyed speaking with Dr. Kat 🎙️ about the importance of both partners openly sharing their fears following a maternal near-miss. Shame thrives in silence, but honesty—with compassion and without the expectation that we or our partner must “fix” feelings—creates deeper connection. When we speak vulnerably, we not only feel more understood, but we also strengthen the couple’s ability to move forward together in healing.

Silence feeds shame. Honest conversations—though uncomfortable—can open the door to connection, healing, and support.

Celebrating 5 years in business! Five years ago, I was six months postpartum, navigating a global pandemic, and felt a strong pull to begin my next chapter as a solo, woman business owner. I'm so grateful I did!

I am deeply grateful for the support of this fantastic Central FL community, family/friends, colleagues, and—most importantly—my wonderful clients who have entrusted and allowed me to be a part of their journey. Each day, I feel fortunate to have a career as a Mental Health Counselor that brings such meaning and purpose to my life. Thank you for your continued support!
