Therapy for Moms in Westlake Village: Finding Yourself Again After Postpartum Depression & Anxiety
Becoming a mom changes everything — your schedule, your body, your relationships, and even the way you see yourself. And while everyone tells you to “enjoy every moment,” the truth is, not every moment feels enjoyable. For many moms in Westlake Village, postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety show up quietly but powerfully, making daily life feel harder than you ever imagined.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or like you’re barely holding it together, you are not alone — and you don’t have to stay stuck here.
The Silent Weight of Motherhood in Westlake Village
On the outside, everything looks like its going well. Maybe you have the beautiful home, the supportive partner, the baby you longed for… yet inside, you feel exhausted, irritable, or just not like yourself.
Common signs of postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety include:
Feeling irritable or easily triggered
Struggling to rest even when the baby sleeps
Constant worry that something will go wrong
Feeling disconnected from your partner or baby
Crying more often than usual
Wondering if you made a mistake by becoming a mom
These feelings don’t mean you’re failing. They mean you’re human — and you’re navigating one of the biggest transitions of your life.
Why This Season Feels So Overwhelming
In Westlake Village, it can feel like there’s a quiet competition among moms — the pressure to “do it all” and make it look effortless. But behind closed doors, many women are just trying to keep up, wondering if everyone else is coping better than they are.
The truth? Motherhood comes with mental and emotional demands that no amount of preparation can fully prepare you for. And without the right support, postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety can take a toll on your health, your relationships, and your sense of self.

Untangle the constant mental load
Learn tools to calm anxiety and overwhelm
Rebuild your identity outside of motherhood

Reduce irritability and feel more in control

FAQs About Therapy for Moms in Westlake Village
How do I know if I have postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety?
If you’ve been feeling persistently sad, overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected for more than two weeks, it may be postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety. You don’t need an official diagnosis to get help.
Can therapy help even if I’m months (or years) postpartum?
Yes. These feelings don’t always go away on their own. Therapy can help you process your experience, reduce symptoms, and feel more in control — no matter how long it’s been since you gave birth.
Do you take insurance?
I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly. Many clients use their PPO plan for partial reimbursement. I can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company. To learn more, click here.
Is therapy virtual or in person?
I offer secure, confidential virtual sessions, so you can get support from the comfort of your home — no commute, no childcare scramble.
