Therapy for Women Who Feel Overwhelmed, Disconnected, or Not Like Themselves
When Pregnancy and Postpartum feels different than you expected
Pregnancy and postpartum can bring love, joy, anxiety, and exhaustion. These major life transitions can affect your identity, relationships, and emotional well-being. You may feel grateful for your baby while struggling privately each day.
What you may be feeling:
You love your baby, yet you barely recognize yourself.
Pregnancy anxiety keeps you worried about your baby’s health.
Postpartum anxiety leaves you tense, restless, or constantly on edge.
Your body feels exhausted, while your mind continues racing.
Intrusive thoughts make you question whether something is wrong.
You feel touched out, overstimulated, or emotionally drained.
Guilt appears when motherhood feels harder than you expected.
You miss your independence, confidence, or former sense of self.
You question your parenting decisions and rarely feel good enough.
As a mom, I understand how consuming this season can feel. Pregnancy and postpartum therapy offers space to process these changes honestly. Together, we will build practical tools for managing anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion. You deserve compassionate support while adjusting to pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood.
Pregnancy and postpartum Can Affect You in More Ways Than You Expected
What you may be experiencing right now:
Postpartum depression
Postpartum anxiety
Intrusive thoughts
Emotional overwhelm
Irritability or resentment
Identity loss after becoming a mom
Changes in your relationship
Feeling disconnected from yourself or others
Perinatal depression affects as many as 1 in 7 women during pregnancy or after childbirth. This is common, treatable, and nothing to feel ashamed about.
There’s Nothing “Wrong” With You
Postpartum is one of the biggest identity shifts you can go through.
The pressure to “enjoy every moment” or “bounce back” can make it even harder to talk about what you're really feeling.
You’re not failing—you’re navigating a major emotional, physical, and psychological transition.

My Approach to
Perinatal and Postpartum Therapy
Pregnancy and postpartum therapy gives you space to speak honestly without judgment. You can share the thoughts, fears, and emotions you may hide elsewhere. Together, we make sense of what you are experiencing and identify what you need.
My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and tailored to your individual goals. We move at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Sessions may explore pregnancy anxiety, birth trauma, postpartum anxiety, identity changes, relationship stress, and overwhelming expectations around motherhood.
I integrate DBT skills to help you manage racing thoughts and intense emotions. You will learn practical ways to calm your nervous system, tolerate stressful moments, communicate your needs, and respond to yourself with greater compassion.
My advanced training in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders guides our work. With specialized pregnancy and postpartum support, you can feel more grounded and confident. Over time, you can reconnect with yourself and experience motherhood with greater steadiness.
You Don’t Have to Be in Crisis to Start Therapy
You don’t need to have the “right words” or a clear explanation of what’s wrong.
If something feels off, heavy, or overwhelming—that’s enough.
for partners and dads
You’re watching someone you love struggle—and it’s hard to know what to do.
You might feel helpless, frustrated, or unsure how to show up without making things worse. You don’t have to figure this out alone.
I work with partners, too—so you can feel more confident, supported, and equipped in this season.
