Therapy for Moms
Postpartum and Pregnancy Support for Moms in California who are experiencing mood disorders
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the changes motherhood has brought on?
You are not alone. Being a mom can be profoundly rewarding but it is not without its challenges. The first few years of motherhood are huge time of transition and you might notice that you feel moodier, less patient, worried, or drained. Maybe motherhood is not what you expected it to be, or you find that you are comparing yourself to other mothers and feeling like you "aren't doing it right".
​
You might also notice:
-
Having difficulty bonding with your baby
-
Having trouble eating or sleeping
-
Feeling more irritable or angry than usual
-
Feeling like you never should have become a parent
-
Feeling like you are "going crazy"
-
Feeling disconnected from your partner
-
Intrusive or anxious thoughts
​
Did you know that 1 in 5 moms and 1 in 10 dads suffer from postpartum depression? Perinatal mood disorders are widely underdiagnosed, often misunderstood and judged, and they affect the whole family. Parents of every culture, age, income level and race can develop perinatal mental health disorders.

How I Approach Perinatal Therapy
​
You are not alone. You're not to blame. With help, you will be well.
My specialized training in perinatal mental health issues allows me to approach the physical and emotional complexities of your experiences with empathy, sensitivity and deep compassion. My personal experiences with Postpartum depression/OCD and pregnancy loss mean that I have been there too, and I can relate.
​
Together, we will identify what your unique experience of motherhood has been, where you need support, and help you begin to recover. You can begin to find confidence and joy again.
