"The greatest gift you can give your baby is a strong relationship 

                                                between the two of you."  ~John Gottman, The Gottman Institute                                                   

First, please know that I've been there!  I get it!

 

The transition to parenthood is challenging, even for the strongest relationships. Preparing for a new baby, finding

solutions to the challenges that a new baby presents, and addressing the relationship between parents are critical

issues for every new parenting couple.  

 

As a therapist in Austin, I specialize in working with couples to connect as they become a family with their new little

addition. The arrival of baby changes a home and the relationship. Expectations and assumptions are challenged. 

Post-partum depression, a very real condition, may surprise even the least suspecting mother. Fathers are not

immune to the changes a new baby brings and can be as surprised by them as the mother.

 

As a certified educator in the Gottman Institute's Bring Home Baby Program, my goal is to help couples proactively

prepare for and adjust to bringing a new baby home. This approach includes sharing practical, proven strategies

designed to make this transition one that brings the most joy and least turmoil to the relationship. This is a

researched-based approach to preparing couples for the arrival of a baby and/or helping adjust after the baby arrives.  

 

Let me help you give your baby the gift of a healthy, loving, and respectful relationship between his/her parents.
