About me

All you've ever wanted was to be a parent but you never imagined it would be so difficult. Whether you are a parent or soon to be parent, you wonder why no one warned you this would be so hard? On the outside you look like you have it all figured out but on the inside you are struggling. You thought this was supposed to be the “happiest time of your life” but it's brought so much heartache & stress. Did you know 1 out of 5 women struggle with perinatal anxiety or depression and 1 out of 8 couples will struggle with fertility? You are not alone. My name is Danielle Smith and I am a therapist who specializes in all things pregnancy, postpartum, and anxiety. I have a passion for supporting women, specifically those who are struggling with excess fear, worry and stress related to motherhood. I believe we all deserve to be heard and to tell our story in a safe environment in order to promote healing that that is what I aim to provide. Whether you are struggling with general anxiety or struggles related to pregnancy and parenthood you do not have to suffer in silence anymore. You deserve to live a happy more carefree life free of self judgment and comparisons.
