Therapy for Pregnancy, Postpartum,
and New Parenthood

Pregnancy, Postpartum & New Parenthood
 
Becoming a parent changes everything and you shouldn't have to navigate those changes alone.
 
Pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood can bring so much joy, but they can also feel overwhelming, isolating, and nothing like you expected. You may find yourself struggling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, sadness, irritability, guilt, or simply wondering why you don’t feel like yourself anymore.
 
You might be experiencing:

• Anxiety or constant worry about your baby

• Feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or touched out

• Postpartum depression or anxiety

• Intrusive or scary thoughts

• Birth trauma or a difficult pregnancy

• Fear surrounding pregnancy, birth, or becoming a parent

• Guilt or pressure to be the “perfect” parent

• Difficulty adjusting to your new identity

• Changes in your relationship or intimacy

• Grief related to pregnancy, birth, or the postpartum experience

• Feeling disconnected from yourself, your partner, or your baby

• The invisible mental load of motherhood
   

When you're carrying more than anyone can see...
Motherhood often comes with an invisible list that never seems to end: appointments, schedules, meals, childcare, laundry, remembering what everyone needs, anticipating what comes next, and trying to keep everything running.
 
Even when you're not physically doing something, your brain may still be planning, remembering, worrying, and managing.
Over time, carrying that mental load can leave you feeling exhausted, resentful, anxious, overstimulated, or like there’s never truly a moment when you’re “off.”
 
Therapy can be a place where you don’t have to take care of anyone else. We can work together to untangle the pressure, guilt, expectations, and overwhelm while helping you reconnect with your own needs and identity outside of everything you do for others.
Therapy can help you feel like you again.
 
You deserve a space where you can be honest about the hard parts of pregnancy and parenthood without judgment.
Together, we can work on understanding what you’re feeling, calming an overwhelmed nervous system, processing difficult or traumatic experiences, and helping you feel more grounded and confident as you navigate this season.
 
When trauma is part of your story, EMDR therapy can also help you process distressing pregnancy, birth, postpartum, or past experiences that may be impacting how you feel today.
You don't have to just “get through” this season.

Whether you're preparing for your first baby, struggling during pregnancy, adjusting postpartum, or trying to find yourself again in motherhood, therapy can give you a place to slow down, process, and feel supported.

You can love your family deeply and still feel overwhelmed by everything you're carrying.
Both can be true.
