Pregnancy & Postpartum

Motherhood can be everything you hoped for and still feel harder than you imagined.

Maybe you spent months or years waiting for this chapter of your life, only to find that it feels nothing like you expected.

You might love your baby deeply but feel anxious, overwhelmed, irritable, or disconnected from the person you used to be. Maybe you're constantly worrying about whether you're doing enough, struggling to switch off your thoughts, or feeling guilty that you're not enjoying every moment.

And sometimes, the hardest part is feeling like you're supposed to be happy.

You're Not Supposed to Have It All Figured Out

Pregnancy and postpartum bring enormous changes, physically, emotionally, and within your relationships. Even when things are going well, adjusting to a new version of yourself can be challenging.

As a certified perinatal mental health specialist (PMH-C), I support women navigating:

Finding Your Footing in Motherhood

Therapy isn't about teaching you how to be a better mom. It's about supporting you as a person while you navigate everything that comes with becoming one.

We'll explore what you're experiencing, make sense of the changes you're going through, and develop strategies to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected.

You can love your family and still need space for yourself. You can be grateful and still struggle. Both can be true.

You deserve to feel supported through this chapter, too. Reach out to get started.
