Therapy for Moms

Support for the emotional side of motherhood.

Pregnancy and postpartum can bring joy, but they can also bring anxiety, sadness, overwhelm, grief, rage, and identify changes. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Motherhood is one of the most meaningful transitions you’ll ever experience—but it can also be one of the most challenging. While bringing a baby into the world is often portrayed as a joyful time, the reality is that 1 in 5 mothers experience a postpartum mental health condition during pregnancy or the first year postpartum. You don’t have to wait until you’re in crisis to benefit from therapy.

As a Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) therapist, I’m a strong advocate for preventative mental health care. Beginning therapy during pregnancy can help you build coping skills, prepare for the emotional transition into motherhood, strengthen your support system, and identify challenges before they become overwhelming. Research shows that early support and treatment lead to better outcomes for both parents and babies. And if you’re already postpartum, it’s never too late to begin. Healing is possible at every stage of your journey.

  • Constantly worried or unable to relax
  • Overwhelmed by the mental load of motherhood
  • Sad, tearful, or emotionally numb
  • Like you’ve lost a part of yourself
  • Guilty for not enjoying motherhood the way you expected
  • Disconnected from your baby, partner, or yourself
  • Grieving your previous life or your sense of independence
  • Irritable, frustrated, or quick to anger
  • Exhausted but unable to rest
  • Wondering, “Is this normal?”

If any of these resonate with you, please know you’re not alone—and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself.

Therapy provides a supportive, judgment-free space where you can slow down, breathe, and focus on your own well-being. Together, we’ll explore what’s contributing to how you’re feeling, develop practical coping strategies, process difficult emotions, and help you reconnect with yourself. My goal is to help you feel more confident, more supported, and more like yourself again—not a “perfect mom,” but a healthier, more grounded version of you.

What you can expect in our Therapy sessions

Therapy with me isn’t about sitting on a couch while I silently nod and ask, “How does that make you feel?” It’s a real conversation in a safe, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are—messy bun, cold coffee in hand, crying one minute and laughing the next.

Our sessions are warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. We’ll celebrate your wins, make space for the hard moments, and sometimes even laugh at the chaos that motherhood can bring (because let’s be honest, sometimes you just have to). There may be tears, there will definitely be validation, and together we’ll work through the challenges you’re facing with compassion and practical tools you can use in everyday life.

I use evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, while recognizing that every mother’s journey is different. My goal isn’t to help you become a “perfect mom”—it’s to help you feel more like yourself again: calmer, more confident, and better equipped to navigate motherhood with self-compassion.

Whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or somewhere in between, you’ll find a judgment-free space where you can be completely honest, feel deeply supported, and know that you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
