Therapy For Postpartum Depression For Women + Moms in California

You love your baby — but you’re struggling to love this season.

• Motherhood was supposed to feel joyful. Instead, you wake up each day carrying a heaviness that won’t lift — no matter how hard you try.

  Maybe people keep saying, “Soak it all in!” but you’re just trying to make it through the day without falling apart.
  Maybe you’re wondering why everyone else seems fine… while you feel like you're drowning.

  You are not failing. You’re not broken. You’re experiencing postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety — and you don’t have to face it alone.

  🌿 What Postpartum Depression & Postpartum Anxiety Really Feel Like

  It’s not “baby blues.” It’s deeper, heavier, and it lingers far past those first few weeks.
  For many moms, postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety can look like:

  • Crying more than you expected — sometimes for no clear reason

  • Feeling numb, irritable, or disconnected

  • Snapping at your partner or older kids

  • Anxiety that won’t shut off: racing thoughts, tight chest, knot in your stomach

  • Feeling ashamed that you’re not “enjoying motherhood”

  • Wondering if you’ll ever feel like yourself again

  • Comparing yourself to other moms and feeling like you're falling short

  • Feeling guilty for needing help at all

  The truth? Nothing is wrong with you.
  Your brain and body have been through something enormous. You deserve support through this — not judgment.

💛 1 in 7 moms experience postpartum depression. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep white-knuckling your way through this.

🌿 How Therapy Helps You Feel Like You Again

Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety convince you that you're stuck permanently.
Therapy helps you see that you’re not.

Together, we’ll:

• Untangle the guilt, shame, and self-blame weighing you down

• Slow the racing thoughts so your nervous system can breathe

• Make space for rest, steadiness, and actual relief

• Rebuild your confidence — both as a mom and as a woman

• Process resentment, birth trauma, identity shifts, or pressure from family/in-laws

• Help you connect back to your baby and yourself without feeling overwhelmed

• Create a plan that feels doable in real life, not another impossible task list

My role is to hold the heaviness with you so you don’t have to carry it alone.

You don’t have to keep surviving.
With the right support, you can feel grounded, steady, and connected again — without losing yourself in the process.

🌿 Is This Really Postpartum Depression… or Just Normal Adjustment?

If your sadness, anxiety, or overwhelm:

• Lasts longer than two weeks

• Feels heavier than you expected

• Is starting to interfere with sleep, daily life, or bonding

• Leaves you wondering “Why don’t I feel like myself?”

…then it’s worth reaching out.

You don’t need to wait for things to get worse.
I support moms anywhere in California, including Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and the SF Bay Area.
