You’re up again. The night is quiet.
Was that the baby crying? Should I go check? What if I don’t? Did I already mess this up?
Maybe it was when you sighed at another diaper change, or couldn’t bring yourself to play.
You wonder—Am I a bad mom? Did I just cause a delay? Will my baby need therapy because of me?
If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. So many parents carry these questions with silence, love, and shame. The truth is, parenting is hard—and the postpartum experience can feel nothing like you expected. I’m here to help you untangle the guilt, the anxiety, the intrusive thoughts, and the pressure that exists.
I specialize in parental mental health and offer virtual therapy that is personal, collaborative, and deeply attuned to your unique experience. Whether you're struggling through postpartum depression, anxiety, or feeling completely lost in motherhood, therapy can be the space where you come back to yourself—with support, understanding, and tools that help.
Certified in perinatal mental health since 2020, I use approaches like CBT, ACT, DBT, and trauma-informed care to support individuals and couples. I also offer Christian counseling when desired. You don’t have to carry this alone. Let’s start—right where you are.
