You deserve confidence in making decisions, the ability to quiet your mind, and to simply feel better. It shouldn't be this hard.

Madeline understands that feeling burnt out, stressed, and worried doesn't make you weak, it makes you human. She knows that whether you're overwhelmed by parenting, work, or simply lost about your next steps, you need practical help and compassionate support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • It's normal to feel tired and overwhelmed as a new parent. Postpartum depression involves persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, difficulty bonding with baby, loss of interest in activities you usually enjoy, changes in appetite or sleep (beyond normal newborn sleep deprivation), and sometimes thoughts of harming yourself or baby. If you're wondering whether what you're experiencing is "normal," that's a good reason to reach out for a consultation.

  • Yes! Madeline works with both individuals and couples. Even if your partner isn't ready for therapy, you can still make significant improvements in your relationship by working on your own patterns, communication skills, and emotional regulation. Many people see positive relationship changes through individual therapy.

  • Burnout often makes us feel like we don't have time for the things that would help us most. Madeline understands this paradox and works flexibly to make therapy accessible, offering both in-person and online sessions, and helping you develop sustainable strategies that fit your actual life, not an idealized version of it.

Postpartum Anxiety vs Normal New Parent Worry: How to Tell the Difference

Postpartum Anxiety vs Normal New Parent Worry: How to Tell the Difference
Madeline Wilson, RSW

Becoming a new parent often comes with a surge of worry. You might find yourself questioning everything—whether your baby is eating enough, sleeping properly, or showing signs of illness. These thoughts are incredibly common, and for many parents, they are part of the natural adjustment to caring for a newborn. In fact, most new parents experience some level of intrusive thoughts or heightened concern in the early weeks.

But there is an important distinction between typical new parent worry and postpartum anxiety. While normal worry tends to ease as you gain confidence and settle into a routine, postpartum anxiety is more persistent and intense. It can feel constant, overwhelming, and difficult to soothe—even with reassurance or rest. Understanding the difference isn’t about whether worry exists, but how long it lasts and how much it interferes with your daily life.

Recognizing where your experience falls on this spectrum can help you determine whether you simply need time and support—or whether it may be time to reach out for professional help.

Managing the Mental Load

Do you and your partner struggle with feeling connected while managing the busyness of day to day life? Through our experience as individual and couples therapists we have noticed that what can keep couples feeling distant is the constant to- do list to keep your household running smoothly. We noticed that while couples often can pinpoint that they argue about chores, about whose turn it is to register the kids for soccer or that they "scorekeep" who is doing more, the couples and individuals we see struggle to talk about these issues and implement sustainable solutions for their family.
