The best feeling ever. When you start to see that progress of boundaries being set, emotions being felt and acknowledged, symptoms becoming less frequent, the feeling of pride is unmatched. Keep getting back up 💪

Sitting with so many parents postpartum has taught me how much proactive conversations can be beneficial to the postpartum experience. This intensive was designed with that in mind.

This curated accelerated therapy work allows couples to bring intention to the postpartum experience and parenting by exploring their expectations and belief systems prior to the messiness of sleepless nights.

Ideal for:
🧑‍❤️‍🧑 the couple who wants to strengthen their communication and connection prior to labor and delivery

🧑‍❤️‍🧑 the couple who wants to feel prepared for potential postpartum complications, like depression or anxiety

🧑‍❤️‍🧑 the couple who wants to understand the imbalance most couples face regarding physical and mental load in parenthood, and who want to break that cycle

🧑‍❤️‍🧑 the couple who understands that parenting doesn’t just come naturally with immediate alignment between both parents-couples who want to explore their own attachment, values, and parenting style.

You can hold joy and uncertainty in the same breath.

It’s okay to feel grateful and afraid at the same time.

Pregnancy after loss can awaken both joy and fear — both belong. Let them coexist without judgment. You are allowed to celebrate while still protecting your heart. Courage often looks like staying open even when you’re scared. 🤍

The “AND” of birth trauma is the grief of what happened AND the celebration of the birth of both mom and baby ❤️

11/21/2025

Hi 👋 I’m Shelby. It’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself on here and there have been some new followers…

I’m a licensed mental health counselor in Lincoln, RI. I’m certified in EMDR and perinatal mental health and primarily work with moms who are navigating their fertility, pregnancy or motherhood journey postpartum.

8 years ago after a loss and then subsequently struggling with my own postpartum mental health, I turned my struggle into education and immersed myself in learning as much as I could about women’s mental health.

I have 3 kids 👦🏻👦🏼👧🏼 and an amazing husband ❤️ They are the inspiration for my work.

I’m fiercely protective of my self care so in my free time you’ll find me crocheting, baking (in my sourdough era) , going for walks, and listening to any podcast about comedy/stand-up (because little known fact, I used to be in an improv group-ask me about how improv can transform your parenting….)

I love helping parents who are trying to figure out balance in their lives, heal from trauma, break generational cycles, and want to heal their inner child.

You are allowed to hope and grieve at the same time.

Trying to conceive can bring waves of emotion — hope, grief, joy, and uncertainty.

It’s okay to hold space for all of it. There is no single way to feel, no timeline for processing. Each step you take, each breath you manage, is part of your strength.

Be gentle with yourself as you move through this season — you are allowed to honor both hope and heartache. 🤍

OK, technically some of these aren’t rules. But, trying to be blank slates is a thing of the past for therapists. Self-disclosure, swearing, bringing politics and societal pressures into the conversation-allows for more trust and validation when done with consideration to my client’s needs.

And on the topic of swearing….$h!t, let’s talk about that anger and stay with it! We’re angry because there’s a reason to be angry! We are sold a fallacy that we should “regulate” with any negative emotion we experience but I see too many people using this as a way to avoid. All emotions are OK, all emotions are trying to tell us something. What we do with that information is nuanced. Being told to “calm” ourselves while we experience anger is invalidating and making us miss important internal cues about ourselves and our needs.

Ideal for:
💫 The busy mom who can’t figure out how they’ll fit in weekly appts
💫 The newly postpartum mom who wants to make some progress quickly from their birth trauma so they can bond with their baby. (Babies are welcome in session!)

Birth is a transformative experience. It can hold so many beautiful memories for us, but it can also hold trauma and pain. My birth story therapy intensive offer clients an opportunity to schedule an extended three-hour session (or more depending on your needs) in order to process the story of your labor and delivery.

This intensive includes the use of EMDR, an evidence based trauma treatment, to assist in reprocessing traumatic memories and negative self beliefs. My clients who have experienced birth trauma report thoughts such as: “it’s my fault“, “I’m not safe“, or “something is wrong with me “. EMDR can be a useful tool in shifting these narratives to a more positive and self-efficacious belief.

Clients will also strengthen their connection to positive experiences during their birth and gain a sense of empowerment. Journaling will be utilized to create a take-away to remember their narrative and share it with their family.
