MARIJANE E. WARD

Motherhood and parenting are life changing events. Not only are there the physical aspects but the emotional and psychological adjustments and changes can cause distress, depression and anxiety.

The assumption of joy can seem like a cruel joke for some mothers. The stigma of dysfunction or disruption in the process of attachment, getting to know this new human being and bonding may keep many women secretly fearful and locked into damaging thoughts.

The transition into parenthood often brings up old wounds, hurts and misinformation about connection and bonding.

Dr. Ward can provide a safe understanding and confidential environment to help you to return to your new normal. Our goal will be to get you feeling better as quickly as possible.

While it would be wonderful to think this is all just natural…it is not in many cases. Mothering to your greatest potential can be learned and understood within the framework of a safe, protected, nonjudgmental environment.

With Dr. Wards expertise and experience, she beleives that most of us hold our own answers, but that life, old patterns and beliefs sometimes get in our way. She works in a collaborative and interactive style to develop new options and new ways of understanding motherhood and its challenges.
