You’re Not Alone.

Perinatal and Maternal Mental Health

You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or not like yourself—and wondering if this is how it’s supposed to feel.

Perinatal therapy offers a safe, supportive space to process the emotional shifts of pregnancy and new motherhood.

Hormones may play a role-but so does everything else you’re carrying.

Pregnancy and postpartum bring huge physical, emotional, and identity changes. You might be experiencing:

  • Anxiety, irritability, or frequent crying

  • Trouble bonding with your baby or partner

  • Intrusive or distressing thoughts

  • Exhaustion that goes deeper than sleep deprivation

  • A loss of joy, confidence, or sense of self

These struggles are common—and treatable. You’re not broken. You’re going through something big.

How therapy works

You can learn to hold both the joy and the struggle-without shame or judgment.

I specialize in maternal mental health and have training in supporting women during pregnancy, postpartum, and the early parenting years. In therapy, we’ll work gently and collaboratively to help you feel more stable and supported.

We’ll focus on:

  • Naming and normalizing what you're experiencing

  • Exploring identity shifts and emotional ups and downs

  • Processing birth experiences, fears, or grief

  • Reconnecting with strength, balance, and self-compassion

You don’t have to put on a brave face. You just have to start where you are.

Perinatal therapy can help you…

  • Understand and manage anxiety or low mood

  • Feel more emotionally connected and supported

  • Rebuild trust in your body and your instincts

  • Develop coping strategies for stress and overwhelm

  • Begin to feel like you again

Let’s work together to help you feel more grounded in this season of life.
