If you’re struggling, you’re not alone.

Becoming a mother is a monumental life transition that is often accompanied by significant stress. New moms are wired to have internal sirens go off at the first sign of baby distress—it's instinctual. But when your body stays in high gear, you may begin experiencing anxiety.

Postpartum anxiety might make you feel like everything has to be just right—maybe sticking to feeding and sleeping schedules rigidly, or needing your space just so. You might find yourself constantly worried or lost in research, trying to nail every decision perfectly. Those scary thoughts? They're hard to shake. It's okay to want the best for your little one or want helpful routines, but when worry takes over, therapy can help ease the load.

Therapy offers invaluable support, helping you learn adaptive coping mechanisms to manage emotions and cultivate mindfulness. We work to enhance your resilience and finding peace amidst the chaos. Postpartum anxiety therapy equips you with practical tools to navigate this journey, fostering healing, groundedness, and a sense of calm in your role as a mother.

Feeling overwhelmed after childbirth? You might feel sad and can’t seem to shake the heaviness and feelings of exhaustion, even though you expected to feel excited and joyful caring for your baby. Maybe you're crying at the smallest things, finding yourself feeling irritable and angry, or not enjoying the things you used to love. You don’t feel like yourself and there’s an overwhelming feeling of isolation and loneliness. Things feel like they are getting on top of you and it's hard to keep up with the things you need to do on a daily basis.

You are not alone, and I'm here to help.

Postpartum depression, a common experience among new mothers, involves a mix of emotional, psychological, and physical changes that can leave you feeling downhearted and detached. But there's hope. Through counseling, we'll work together to rediscover joy, build confidence, and forge deeper connections in motherhood. Let's navigate this journey side by side.

Transitioning to parenthood can be extremely overwhelming, isolating, and uncomfortable. The idea that mothering should come effortlessly is a myth, and a harmful one. Maybe you're feeling disconnected from the self you knew, or maybe you're finding yourself overwhelmed by the mental load associated with parenting.

Maybe you're anxious about transitioning back to work, with part of you sad to leave baby and part of you thrilled to return to engaging with grownups and all of you unsure how there will be enough hours in the day. With support, you can find a new equilibrium for this new phase of life.

Sometimes it can feel like caring for your family takes up all of the space in your brain, whether you want it to or not. New (or new-again) parents benefit from the space that counseling provides to explore identity shifts, division of labor, the mental load of parenthood, emotional regulation, balancing the needs of multiple children, relationship changes, lack of intimacy and connection, work/life balance, isolation, grief over loss of former life, and family dynamics and boundaries setting.
