Motherhood changes everything: your body, your identity, your relationships, even how you see yourself. If you’re struggling with postpartum anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, birth trauma, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, please know this: you’re not broken! You’re human, and you deserve support. I’m a perinatal therapist (LCSW, PMH-C) offering therapy for pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood transitions. I help moms heal from anxiety, overwhelm, and trauma so they can feel calm, connected, and confident again.
My approach is gentle, yet active: blending mindfulness, EMDR and practical tools to calm your nervous system and rebuild self‑trust. You don’t need to have it all together; you just need a safe space to breathe, process and heal. I offer therapy in English and Hungarian across California via online and walk‑and‑talk sessions in San Diego. Let's connect.
There’s no such thing as a 'perfect' mom; therapy with me is a space to be real, feel seen, and heal. Let’s take that first brave step together, you deserve to be truly seen.
