The childbearing time is a journey that involves your emotions and your psyche as well as your body. It will propel you into reflection on the past, anticipation of the future, new learning, physical challenge, and identity shifts. Old issues will surface and be revisited. New dilemmas and questions will come to the forefront. This is a time ripe for personal growth.
Whether you choose one consultation session or make a series of appointments, I am happy to assist you in navigating this chapter of your life. At the conclusion of our first meeting, we will discuss a plan that makes sense for your particular needs.
I look forward to meeting you.
