Modern Therapy + Support For Pregnant + Postpartum Women + Moms in Carlsbad, CA

Therapy in Carlsbad for Moms Who Feel Like They’re Losing Themselves

🌿 From the outside, it looks like you're living the dream in Carlsbad.
Ocean breeze. Playdates at the park. Coffee in hand. Maybe you even feel guilty for how hard it is — because isn't this the life you wanted?

But behind closed doors, it’s a different story.

You’re overwhelmed, short-tempered, and running on fumes.
Your relationship with your partner feels distant.
You’re exhausted from carrying the mental load of everything.

And the hardest part? You’re not even sure who you are anymore.

🤍 “I don’t feel like myself — and I don’t know how to get back.”

Motherhood in Carlsbad might come with sunshine and beautiful views, but it doesn’t protect you from the identity crisis that so many high-achieving women quietly face after becoming moms.

You're not broken. You're not dramatic. You're not failing.

You're just human — and you’re burnt out from being the one holding everything together.

  • You’re trying to be the calm parent and the patient partner.

  • You’re navigating judgment from in-laws, advice from Instagram, and the endless pressure to “enjoy every moment.”

  • You’re constantly questioning if you're doing enough — and silently wondering why it all feels so hard.

  • You’re not feeling like yourself and wondering if you may have postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety

💬 You don’t need more parenting hacks.

You need a space to breathe.

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about giving you space to exhale — to be seen, supported, and heard.

In our work together, we’ll focus on:

  • Rebuilding your identity outside of motherhood

  • Setting boundaries without guilt

  • Understanding and healing relationship tension

  • Managing anxiety, irritability, or rage

  • Unpacking the generational pressure you feel to parent a certain way

Because the truth is, you can love your kids deeply and still feel lost. That doesn’t make you ungrateful — it makes you honest.

👩‍💻 Virtual Therapy for Moms in Carlsbad, CA

I offer virtual therapy for moms all across California, including those in Carlsbad, Encinitas, Solana Beach, and surrounding areas.

That means:

  • No commute. No scrambling for childcare.

  • Just 50 minutes of time that's entirely yours.

  • A safe, warm space where you can drop the performance and actually be real.

You don’t have to drive to an office in traffic or pretend you have it all together. You can show up exactly as you are — messy bun, toddler chaos, raw feelings and all.

💡 What if therapy could feel like a relief?

Most of the moms I work with are:

  • Type-A, high-functioning women who were used to feeling in control — until motherhood knocked everything sideways.

  • Navigating conflict in their marriage and wondering if they’re even on the same team anymore.

  • Feeling like they’re constantly behind — at work, at home, in parenting — and silently comparing themselves to everyone else.

Maybe that’s you too.

👋 Hi, I’m Alexa. I’m a licensed therapist and a mom of two, and I specialize in working with women who are navigating the messy, beautiful, overwhelming reality of motherhood. My practice is built around helping moms who look like they have it all together on the outside but feel like they’re unraveling inside. I offer warm, relatable, and high-touch virtual therapy for moms across California — especially those who are ready to stop surviving and start feeling like themselves again.

🌊 Life in Carlsbad Might Be Beautiful — But That Doesn’t Mean It’s Easy

Just because your life looks “good” on paper doesn’t mean you're okay. Living in a beautiful coastal city doesn’t cancel out postpartum anxiety, rage, or loneliness.

In fact, the pressure to feel grateful all the time can make it harder to admit when you’re struggling.

Therapy offers a space where you don’t have to justify your pain or prove it’s “bad enough.” If it’s impacting your life — it matters. And I’m here to support you through it.
