Is it as though you are perpetually falling short? Is each day becoming increasingly difficult just to get through? You are not alone. I myself have experienced pregnancy loss and a traumatic birth in addition to postpartum depression and anxiety.
As the author of Reclaim Your Life, I specialize in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which helps people learn skills, such as mindfulness and compassion, to handle difficult thoughts and feelings so they can find freedom from suffering and engage in their life. 
Since becoming a mother, I developed a special interest in perinatal mental health and have sought advanced training and perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C) from Postpartum Support International.
