The transition into motherhood is one of the most profound shifts you’ll ever experience, and also one of the most overlooked. Whether you're navigating the emotions of pregnancy, the rawness of postpartum, or adjusting to life with multiple children, your needs matter. You're not alone in feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or stretched thin.

As a mom of three, I understand how complex this season can be. You might feel grateful and exhausted, deeply bonded yet desperate for space, joyful and anxious—all at once. So much is shifting: your identity, your body, your relationships, even the way you move through the day. You deserve compassionate, science-based perinatal mental health support that honors everything you’re holding and who you are beyond being a mom.

Perinatal mental health includes the emotional, psychological, and social well-being of a person through pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting. Maybe you're pregnant and expected to feel excited, but instead you’re anxious and can’t stop worrying. Or you’re in the postpartum fog, wondering why you're not bonding the way you thought you would, why everything feels so heavy, or why you don’t recognize yourself.

In the U.S., 1 in 5 women experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder, yet many struggle silently due to stigma, unrealistic expectations, or lack of support. Therapy offers a space to be honest about how you’re really doing and start to feel more like yourself again.

Perinatal Therapy for Moms 

As a fellow mom, I know the messy, beautiful, disorienting moments of this season. I also know how lonely it can feel, and how healing it can be to have someone witness and support you without judgment.

In perinatal mental health therapy, we’ll create a space where you don’t have to be “on.” You can show up exactly as you are — tearful, angry, numb, confused, exhausted — and know that it’s okay.

Together, we’ll focus on helping you reconnect with yourself and feel more confident in yourself as a person and a parent.

How Perinatal Mental Health Therapy Can Help

Here you’ll have a space to process what you’re going through with someone who truly gets it. This stage of life—whether you’re trying to conceive, pregnant, postpartum, or parenting a young child—brings enormous physical, emotional, and relational shifts. Therapy can help you make sense of it all while building tools to feel more regulated and supported.

If you’re trying to reconnect with yourself, grieving, or navigating relationship changes, therapy is a soft place to land where you can feel seen, validated, and more like yourself again.

We’re Not Meant to Do Motherhood Alone

Whether you’re a new mom or adding to your family, grieving, or figuring out who you are now, this space is for you. To begin therapy, please schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
