Postpartum Therapy for Moms in Orange County
Feeling Overwhelmed After Baby? You’re Not Alone, Mama.
You’ve finally made it through pregnancy and birth. Everyone says you should be soaking up every moment. But instead of feeling joyful and blissed-out, you’re feeling anxious, depleted, and maybe even angry. And then comes the guilt.
Sound familiar?
If you’re a new mom in Orange County and postpartum isn’t what you expected — I want you to know this: you are not broken. You’re not failing. And you’re definitely not alone.
What No One Tells You About Postpartum
Most moms in Orange County (and everywhere, really) walk into postpartum with some idea of what it will be like. But the reality? It’s often so much harder than anyone warns you about.
You might be experiencing:
Constant irritability or rage
Crying more than you expected
Feeling resentful toward your partner
Feeling like you’re “failing” even when you're doing your best
Anxiety that won’t let your brain shut off — even at 2AM
A deep sense of I don’t feel like myself anymore
This isn’t just “baby blues” — and you’re not weak for struggling. It’s your nervous system doing its best to survive a massive life transition, hormonal upheaval, and sleep deprivation.
The Pressure Is Real — Especially Here in Orange County
Let’s be real: Orange County can feel like a polished, Pinterest-perfect bubble. But behind the curated Instagram stories and cute beach baby pics, so many moms are silently suffering.
You’re not the only one crying in the car after a baby class, or avoiding calls because you’re too drained to talk. You’re not the only one who feels like everyone else is doing it “better.”
You Deserve Support That’s About You, Not Just the Baby
Therapy isn’t just for moms who are “really struggling.” It’s for moms who are ready to feel like themselves again.
In my practice, I work with new moms across Orange County who are navigating:
Rage, overstimulation, and mom guilt
Relationship tension and resentment
The identity crisis of new motherhood
Pressure to be perfect, productive, or "put together"
You don’t have to carry it all. You don’t have to figure it out alone.
Postpartum Therapy in Orange County — From the Comfort of Your Home
I offer online therapy for moms throughout Orange County — including Newport Beach, Irvine, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, and beyond. You don’t have to find childcare or fight traffic on the 405. You can just show up as you are — even if that means baby is in your lap or you haven’t brushed your teeth yet.
The First Step is Just a Conversation
If this speaks to you, I invite you to take one small step toward feeling more like yourself again. I offer a free 15-minute phone consult to see if therapy might be a good fit.
It’s okay to say, “I need help.” That’s not weakness — it’s strength.
