Providing specialized perinatal, postpartum, and reproductive mental health therapy for women throughout California. Postpartum depression, anxiety, burnout, motherhood, and major life transitions can leave you feeling emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, and exhausted from carrying the invisible mental and emotional load of caring for everyone else. Are you struggling to keep up while quietly masking how much you’re holding internally? Many women delay self-care until “things calm down,” but that moment rarely comes. My approach is affirming for Black women and inclusive of women from all cultural backgrounds.
I integrate traditional talk therapy w/optional art therapy to support emotional healing, insight, and nervous system regulation. Art therapy can help when emotions feel difficult to express with words alone. No art experience is needed. Simple art exercises are thoughtfully adapted for pregnancy, postpartum, reproductive challenges, grief, and transitions.
You don't have to do this alone. While most therapists offer a brief 15-minute consult, I offer a 30-minute personal consultation so you feel seen, heard, and supported from the start. Availability is limited to ensure highly personalized care - reach out today to schedule your consultation. Supporting pregnancy, postpartum anxiety, depression, + motherhood.
