Burned Out in Motherhood? Therapy for Irvine Moms Who Feel Like They’re Drowning Inside
From the outside, life in Irvine can look like a dream — safe neighborhoods, beautiful parks, a strong school system, and a community of families doing all the “right” things. But behind the scenes, so many moms here are barely holding it together.
If you're pregnant or postpartum in Irvine and feeling anxious, overstimulated, resentful, or just… numb — I want you to know you're not the only one. And more importantly, you're not failing. You're a mom carrying more than one person ever should.
When “Having It All” Doesn’t Feel Like Enough
I work with high-functioning, deeply loving moms across California — including many in Irvine — and the truth is, most of them say the same thing:
“I should feel grateful, but I just feel overwhelmed all the time.”
“I don’t know who I am anymore.”
“I’m so touched out I want to scream.”
“Everyone thinks I’m doing great — but I’m falling apart inside.”
Whether you're in the middle of your pregnancy or in the fog of postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety, motherhood in a place like Irvine can come with an invisible pressure to keep it all together. The perfect playdates. The organic snacks. The emotional attunement. And still, you might feel:
Disconnected from your body and your identity
Irritable or rageful, especially toward your partner
Guilt-ridden for not “loving every minute”
Isolated, even when you’re constantly surrounded by people
Crushed under the weight of doing it all
Hi, I’m Alexa — Therapist for Moms in Irvine and Across California
Hi I’m Alexa, I’m an Orange County native and licensed therapist, a mom of two, and the founder of Therapy for California Moms. I specialize in helping women like you — high-achieving, self-aware, and completely burned out — reconnect with themselves through compassionate, meaningful therapy.
You don’t need a diagnosis to deserve help. You don’t have to be “in crisis” to need support. If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or somewhere in between and you feel like you’re quietly unraveling — you belong here.
In therapy, I hold space for everything you’ve been bottling up:
Your fears about losing yourself again
Your grief for the life you used to have
Your anxiety about getting it “right” this time
Your resentment, guilt, and exhaustion — all of it

You don’t need one more thing to juggle — which is why I offer convenient, virtual therapy sessions for moms in Irvine and all over California. No traffic on the 405. No parking. No asking your partner to leave work early.

You’re Allowed to Want More Than Survival
Motherhood can be beautiful — but it can also be brutal. Especially when you’re expected to do it all while looking like you’re enjoying every minute.
Here’s the truth:
You don’t have to keep pretending.
You don’t have to keep pushing through.
You don’t have to do this alone.
