Schedule a Consultation

You are used to feeling capable. Responsible. Used to handling things.

You’ve navigated school, career, relationships, and life transitions successfully.
So it’s confusing, you knew motherhood would be hard, but you didn’t know it would be — this hard.

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

On the outside, you look like you’re managing.
On the inside, you feel chaos.

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

This is common.
And it’s very treatable.

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.

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.

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.

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.
