Maternal Mental Health Therapy
Because you deserve support through the hard, uncertain, and unexpected parts, too.
You might have expected this to feel different. More natural. More certain. More like something you would just know how to do.
Instead, you find yourself questioning things you never thought twice about.
“Am I doing this right?”
“Is my baby okay?”
“Why is this so hard?”
Your mind may feel like it’s always on—thinking about your baby, your body, your decisions, and whether you’re doing enough. Maybe you’re dealing with intrusive thoughts, or maybe it’s a steady self-doubt that’s hard to shake.
If you’ve experienced loss, grief and fear can become part of this, too, making it harder to trust that things will be okay.
From the outside, you may look like you’re managing. Inside, you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering:
“Am I the only one who feels like this?”
Pregnancy and Postpartum Support
This stage of life can bring a lot at once—love and excitement alongside anxiety, exhaustion, self-doubt, and thoughts you weren’t expecting.
You may find yourself constantly questioning whether you’re doing enough, feeling on edge, or struggling to recognize yourself in the middle of so much change.
Therapy gives you a place to talk honestly about how you’re doing—not how you think you’re supposed to be doing.
Together, we can work on:
Responding differently to anxiety and intrusive thoughts
Trusting yourself and your decisions
Easing constant self-questioning
Making room for your own needs and rest
Feeling more like yourself again
Grief & Loss
Grief can show up in many ways. You may feel sad, angry, guilty, numb, anxious—or all of it at different times. And when the people around you seem to be moving forward, it can feel especially lonely.
Loss can also affect what comes next. A future pregnancy may bring more fear than excitement, and parenting may bring up emotions you didn’t expect.
In therapy, you don’t have to grieve a certain way or be further along than you are. We can talk honestly about your loss and what you’re feeling without rushing you to move past it.
There’s room to miss what you lost while also finding your way forward.
Therapy Approach
I often incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which can help you navigate difficult thoughts and emotions without letting them pull you away from the parent—and person—you want to be. We’ll approach this work with compassion and curiosity, moving at a pace that feels manageable for you.
