Mental health support for women in pregnancy, birth, and after baby arrives

Becoming a mother can be full of joy and awe, but also overwhelming. Whether you're pregnant, newly postpartum, or navigating through the early months or years, you don’t have to do it alone. 

This is a space where your honest feelings can be heard. Your unique experience is important. And your well-being is a priority.

 You Don’t Have to “Love Every Moment”

Pregnancy and new motherhood can stir up contradictory and unexpected emotions — even when you've longed for this season. You might be:

  • Struggling with anxiety, fear, or intrusive thoughts

  • Feeling detached, numb, or “off” after birth

  • Mourning the loss of your old identity

  • Overwhelmed by the pressure to be the “perfect mom”

  • Dealing with sleep deprivation, isolation, or resentment

These experiences are more common than you think —we just don’t talk about them enough. And if you are experiencing any of the above, it’s not because you’re not capable or a “failure”. 

I Help Women With:

  • Anxiety and depression symptoms in pregnancy

  • Postpartum mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs)

  • Birth trauma or a difficult birth experience

  • Adjusting to motherhood and identity changes 

  • Relationship strain and boundary challenges with partners or family

  • Emotional overwhelm from feeding and sleeping challenges, and the external pressure to be a “perfect mom”. 

Whether you're a first-time mom or parenting multiple kids, therapy can offer time and space to understand your feelings and behavior. 

What You’ll Find in Therapy

  • A therapist who understands the emotional complexity of this season

  • A compassionate, trauma-informed lens 

  • Strategies to calm your nervous system and cope with anxious thoughts

  • Support for setting boundaries, utilizing your support system, redistributing the mental load with your partner

  • A judgment-free space to explore your authentic feelings 

Don’t keep putting off your own needs and pushing down your feelings-getting help sooner than later can make all the difference. You deserve to care for yourself.
