Pregnancy and new parenthood can be beautiful and completely overwhelming — sometimes in the same hour.
Therapy for the anxiety, overwhelm, and identity shifts that pregnancy and new parenthood can bring.
Nobody talks enough about how disorienting this season can be. You may have wanted this — planned for it, hoped for it — and still find yourself anxious, tearful, disconnected, or just not okay in ways you can't quite explain. That doesn't mean something is wrong with you. It means you're going through one of the most significant transitions a person can experience, and you deserve real support.
Pregnancy and the postpartum period ask you to hold an enormous amount at once — physical changes, relationship shifts, identity questions, fear, love, exhaustion, and uncertainty — often with very little space to process any of it.
What we might work on together:
-
Prenatal anxiety and the fear of what's ahead
-
Postpartum anxiety, depression, or emotional numbness
-
The identity shift of becoming a parent — who you are now, what you've lost, what you're becoming
-
Relationship changes with your partner during this transition
-
Difficult birth experiences or pregnancy loss
-
Feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or like you're not doing it right
-
Finding your footing as a new parent when nothing feels familiar yet
How I work:
I hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification, which means I have specialized training in the emotional and psychological challenges specific to pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood — not just general therapy applied to this season, but focused expertise in it.
I bring warmth, directness, and nearly 20 years of experience to this work. I draw on EMDR, IFS, attachment theory, and mindfulness — approaches that work with both your mind and your nervous system, not just your thoughts. You don't have to be in crisis to deserve support. You just have to be going through something hard.
Telehealth sessions available throughout California.
