The feasibility of telephone counseling for Moms with PPD will be assessed individually and is dependent on severity of symptoms and risk. If I determine that you need to be seen in person, then I will act as a consultant or coach, educating and assisting you and your family to find the appropriate medical, mental and support services in your area.

If you are struggling in anyway
or would like someone to talk to about mothering concerns,

please email:
