Let's Connect

As a postpartum therapist I specialize in providing counseling and therapy to tired, overwhelmed moms helping them navigate through motherhood, find balance in their lives, and more relief in their day to day life.

Reaching out for help is not easy.

Maybe you are here because of a concerned loved one or friend.

Maybe your OB, pediatrician, or midwife recommended treatment for your postpartum depression (PPD) or your postpartum anxiety (PPA)

Maybe you have never experienced anxiety or depression and wondering why you feel this way

Maybe you want to prevent postpartum anxiety or depression

Maybe how you feel is impacting your marriage

Maybe you are here wondering if other moms feels the same way you do.

Is this you?

  • Questioning whether you’re doing enough

  • Having scary thoughts or images 

  • Feeling like a bad mom, hello mom guilt, yes it's a thing!

  • Snapping more than you want to

  • Your pregnancy, birth, or postpartum aren't or didn't go as expected

  • Questioning your career and how to return or not return to work

  • Constantly worrying about baby

  • Feeling like you lost your old life and unsure if you will ever get it back

First you are not alone in this 1 in 5 moms struggle with postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety and it's treatable!

Many of the women I work with are experiencing postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, or intrusive thoughts during pregnancy or early motherhood.

You are not crazy

You are not a bad mom

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone, Mama

You deserve to feel supported, grounded, and safe. Therapy can help.

Specialized Perinatal Mental Health Care

With over 13 years of clinical experience, I specialize in perinatal mental health therapy — supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood across Texas and Colorado.

This isn’t general therapy.

It’s targeted, informed care for:

  • Postpartum anxiety

  • Intrusive thoughts

  • Postpartum depression

  • Birth trauma and NICU experiences

  • Pregnancy after loss

  • Identity shifts in motherhood

My approach blends warmth with structure.
You’ll feel heard — and you’ll leave sessions with practical tools to use immediately.

Because you don’t just want to vent.
You want relief. Confidence. Balance. To be present.

In our work together, you'll start to:

  • Feel more like you again—not the “perfect mom” version, but the real, grounded, whole you.

  • Understand and manage intrusive thoughts, anxiety, or sadness that may have taken hold since baby arrived.

  • Process your birth experience, identity shifts, and relationship changes in a safe, supportive space.

  • Learn tools to care for yourself emotionally, even on the hard days.

It’s not about fixing you—because you’re not broken. It’s about helping you feel more steady, more connected, and more like yourself in this new chapter.


Whether you are:

  • A stay-at-home mom who feels isolated and overstimulated

  • Or a working mom balancing deadlines and daycare pickups

This season can quietly erase your sense of balance.

Therapy is a space for you.

Many families I work with see this as an investment in long-term emotional health — addressing anxiety and overwhelm now so it doesn’t impact their marriage, parenting, or sense of identity later.

What to expect:

  1. Schedule your free consultation to answer any questions you may have

  2. Make your first appointment

  3. Start finding relief

You might notice the transformation in small, meaningful ways:

  • Feeling less snappy or emotionally raw when your baby cries.

  • Being able to enjoy a quiet moment without guilt or racing thoughts.

  • Saying “I need help” or “I need a break” without shame.

  • Feeling more present with your baby—and with yourself.

Therapy can’t make the challenges of motherhood disappear, but it can make them feel more manageable. It can bring you clarity, confidence, and moments of peace you might not have felt in a while.

You're doing the hardest job there is. You deserve support that meets you right where you are.


The Difference Therapy Can Make on Your Motherhood Journey

Let’s be real—motherhood can feel like a beautiful mess of emotions. One minute you're soaking in the snuggles, the next you're wondering if you're even doing it right. If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, sad, or just not like yourself, you're not alone. And you don’t have to figure it out by yourself, either.

Therapy offers a space just for you—to breathe, to cry if you need to, to laugh when it helps, and to make sense of everything you're carrying.


Frequently asked questions

  • Yes. My practice focuses specifically on perinatal mental health, which includes support for postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, intrusive thoughts, birth trauma, and identity changes during the transition to motherhood. Many of the moms I work with appear high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally. Therapy provides a supportive space to understand what’s happening and learn practical tools for relief.

  • Intrusive thoughts are unwanted thoughts or images that can feel scary or disturbing. Many new moms experience thoughts about accidental harm coming to their baby or fear that they might do something wrong.

    These thoughts are actually very common during the postpartum period, especially when anxiety is high. Having intrusive thoughts does not mean you want them to happen or that you are a bad mom. In therapy, we work on understanding why these thoughts occur and learning strategies to reduce the anxiety cycle that keeps them going.

  • Yes. I provide virtual therapy for moms located in Montgomery County, TX, including:

    • Conroe

    • The Woodlands

    • Magnolia

    • Montgomery

    • Spring

    If I add an office space for in person, this page will be updated.

  • Yes. I provide secure virtual therapy sessions to clients throughout Texas. Virtual therapy allows moms to access specialized perinatal mental health support even if there are no providers nearby who focus on this area.

  • Yes. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing virtual therapy to clients across Colorado, particularly in Northern Colorado communities such as Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Severance, and Greeley.

  • It can be helpful to seek therapy anytime you notice that anxiety, overwhelm, sadness, or intrusive thoughts are affecting your daily life or your ability to enjoy this season of motherhood.

    Some moms begin therapy during pregnancy, while others reach out weeks or months after their baby arrives. There is no “too early” or “too late” time to get support.

    Many women find that addressing postpartum mental health concerns early can help them feel more confident, calm, and connected to their family.

  • Postpartum therapy typically focuses on helping you understand the patterns contributing to anxiety or overwhelm and learning practical tools to support your nervous system and emotional wellbeing.

    In our work together, we focus on both emotional support and practical strategies so that you leave sessions with tools you can begin using right away.

  • The first step is scheduling a consultation call. This allows us to briefly talk about what you are experiencing, answer your questions, and determine whether working together feels like a good fit.
