Becoming a parent changes everything. It can be meaningful and beautiful, but it can also bring anxiety, irritability, overwhelm, and moments where you wonder why this feels so much harder than you expected. If you’ve been feeling unlike yourself during pregnancy or after having a baby, you’re not alone.
I work primarily with people in the perinatal season of life - pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. That includes postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts, birth trauma, perfectionism, identity shifts, and the constant mental load that often comes with caring for a baby. I also support parents who are feeling stretched thin.
My approach is warm and down-to-earth. I draw from mindfulness, CBT, DBT skills, attachment work, somatic techniques, and trauma-informed therapy. Some sessions focus on practical tools you can use right away; others help us slow down and understand what’s underneath the stress. Both matter.
You don’t have to keep pushing through on your own. Therapy can be a place where you get to exhale a little and start to feel more steady and more like yourself again.
