Special Care for YOU.
You give so much. Now is the time to get the care you need.
Care for Moms.
I care for moms throughout every stage of motherhood. I provide a safe place where you can find your true self, journeying with you to recognize the strengths you already possess, and providing support to uncover and face areas that are more tender and need healing. I help you navigate big feelings you have in response to motherhood, learn skills for responding to your little one’s big feelings, and to improve your sense of satisfaction in relationships. I will journey with you as you discover your own motherhood identity, and face barriers to living into a flourishing life. I offer practical parenting resources, access to support groups, and coordinated care with your medical providers.
Perinatal support.
While many women experience some mild mood changes during pregnancy or after the birth of a child, up to 1 in 5 moms (and 1 in 10 dads) experience more significant symptoms of depression or anxiety. With informed care you can prevent the worsening of these symptoms and can fully recover.
Are you feeling sad or depressed?
Do you feel more angry or irritable with those around you?
Are you having difficulty bonding with your baby?
Do you feel anxious or panicky?
Are you having problems with eating or sleeping?
Are you having upsetting thoughts that you can’t get out of your mind?
Do you feel as if you are “out of control” or “going crazy”?
Do you feel like you never should have become a mother?
Are you worried that you may hurt your baby or yourself?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, reach out to your medical provider or schedule an appointment with Dr. Orme for an evaluation. Help is available, and there is hope for a full recovery.
Creating the space.
It can be hard for moms to get away, especially in that first year. Whether you want to bring your baby with you to session, or meet from the convenience of your home, we will work together to create an arrangement so that you can get the care you need.
“No parent is ALWAYS conscious, gentle, positive, peaceful, and authentic. We have to CHOOSE to be and practice moment by moment…day after day. The more we practice, the stronger we grow.”
