You find yourself googling "Is this normal after having a baby?”, “Why do I feel so anxious all the time?”. You're scared that you're not connecting to your baby in the ways you expected. You’re not alone. Many mothers I work with feel constantly on edge, overstimulated, or emotionally exhausted. You might be crying more than you expected, snapping at your partner, feeling guilty for wanting a break, or wondering why you don’t feel the joy everyone promised. Sleep deprivation, hormonal shifts, and the pressure to do everything “right” can make even small decisions feel overwhelming.

I specialize in postpartum mental health and supporting mothers who feel anxious, emotionally disconnected, or unlike themselves after having a baby. Whether you’re dealing with intrusive thoughts, racing worries, mood swings, or a quiet sense that something just feels off, therapy can help you feel steadier and more supported during this transition.

You don’t have to wait until things get worse to reach out. And you don’t need to have the “right” words to explain how you’re feeling. Together, we work to reduce anxiety, increase emotional resilience, and help you feel more like yourself again.

Therapy with me feels like talking to someone who truly gets it. We'll use proven approaches like psychodynamic and interpersonal therapy to help you quiet the mental noise, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and feel more at home in your body. Some sessions might feel like a deep exhale, others like a gentle push forward—but always in a space that's safe, supportive, judgment-free.
