Maternal Mental Health Therapy
Support for the anxiety, grief, overwhelm, and identity shifts that can come with pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood.
You might have expected this to feel different.
Maybe 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 does this feel harder than I thought it would?”
There’s a constant awareness now—of your baby, your body, your decisions—and it can feel like there’s no off switch.
For some, the thoughts become more intense or intrusive. For others, it’s a quiet but steady self-doubt that doesn’t seem to go away.
And if you’ve experienced loss, that layer can make everything feel even more complicated—bringing grief, fear, or uncertainty into moments that you thought would feel different.
From the outside, it might look like you’re managing. But internally, you may feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure of yourself in a way that’s hard to explain.
And part of you may still be wondering: “Am I the only one who feels like this?”
Pregnancy and Postpartum Support
Having a baby can bring excitement, love, and hope—yet also overwhelm, exhaustion, and self-doubt.
You may feel emotionally stretched thin, constantly on alert, or unsure if you’re doing enough. For some, intrusive thoughts become louder during this season. Others feel disconnected from themselves, overwhelmed by the mental load of caring for a baby, or guilty for struggling during a time they thought would feel different.
Therapy can provide a space to talk openly about what you’re experiencing without judgment or pressure to “just enjoy this time.”
Together, we’ll work toward helping you:
quiet constant self-questioning
respond differently to anxiety and intrusive thoughts
build more trust in yourself
create space for support and rest
feel more grounded and connected in your day-to-day life
Loss can bring a kind of grief that feels difficult to explain—especially when the world around you continues moving forward.
You may be carrying sadness, anger, guilt, fear, numbness, or uncertainty while trying to make sense of an experience that changed you deeply.
For some, loss can also affect future pregnancies, parenting experiences, or the ability to feel safe and hopeful again.
Therapy offers a space where your grief doesn’t have to be minimized, rushed, or carried alone.
Together, we’ll create room to process your experience at your own pace while helping you feel more supported, understood, and less alone in what you’re carrying.
Grief and Loss Support
I often incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps you develop a different relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions so they feel less overwhelming and consuming.
Our work together will move at a pace that feels supportive and realistic for you—with a balance of encouragement, gentle challenge, and even laughter when it’s needed.
Therapy Approach
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
