Pregnancy and Couples Therapy
Real talk:
And because I know how overwhelming this can sometimes become,
I also hold space for the harder moments too — postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, or the deep strain of a couple in crisis. With compassion and evidence-based care, I help you navigate those challenges so you don’t have to face them alone.
Working with me doesn’t feel like a formal doctor’s visit or a cold clinical setting. It feels more like a real conversation in a safe space where nothing is too small, too heavy, or too messy to bring in.
We all live in relationships with our family, our partner, our community, and ourselves. When those connections feel strained, everything else feels heavier. My work starts there: helping you nurture the bonds that matter most so you can feel more grounded, supported, and fulfilled.
I don’t believe in “fixing” you. You are the expert in your life, and the answers you’re searching for are already within you. My role is to walk alongside you, providing tools, helping you sort through the noise and uncover your own clarity, wisdom, and strength.
I draw from evidence-based approaches like the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and reconnect emotionally. And with my specialized training in perinatal health, I bring tools designed specifically for the unique challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood.
Sometimes we untangle the hard stuff: the overwhelm, the doubts,
the distance in your relationship.
Sometimes we celebrate the wins: a laugh with your baby, a soft moment with your partner, a spark of feeling like yourself again.
Always, the goal is that you leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected than when you walked in.
…Real support. Honest conversations. Lasting change.
"Talking to Violeta felt like finally exhaling.
She helped me find clarity in the middle
of emotional chaos"
This is more than support for now — it’s about growing tools, confidence, and self-awareness you can carry with you.
