🌿 Therapy For Pregnant + Postpartum Women in San Jose, CA
Being pregnant or postpartum in San Jose feels like running an endless marathon — therapy helps you breathe again.
For the Mom Who’s Carrying More Than Anyone Realizes
Whether you're pregnant or navigating life with a new baby, motherhood in San Jose can feel like a beautiful, heartbreaking, overwhelming blur.
You love this little human fiercely — but the pressure, the fear, the mental load, and the endless expectations can make you feel like you're drowning while everyone else is somehow “doing it right.”
Maybe you're pregnant and:
lying awake at night, worrying something will go wrong
feeling anxious before every appointment
panicking at every unfamiliar symptom
carrying trauma from a previous loss
feeling guilty that you aren’t glowing or joyful
terrified that you won’t be a good mom
Or you're postpartum and:
your anxiety feels out of control
your mood is swinging and you don’t feel like yourself
you’re overwhelmed by the responsibility of keeping a tiny human alive
you feel judged by your parents/in-laws about everything you do
you resent your partner for not understanding the weight you carry
you feel lonely even though you’re never technically alone
Nothing about what you’re feeling is “too much.”
It’s human. It’s real. And you deserve support.
I help pregnant and postpartum moms across San Jose and the SF Bay Area — from Willow Glen to Almaden, Japantown to Cambrian, Downtown to Evergreen — feel grounded, supported, and emotionally steady again.
🌿 Pregnancy and Postpartum Are Supposed to Be Hard — Not Silenced
San Jose moms are often:
high-achieving
deeply responsible
juggling demanding careers
balancing tech schedules, commutes, and child care
expected to hold everything together
But no one sees what’s actually happening inside you:
the fear
the intrusive thoughts
the exhaustion
the grief for your old life
the pressure to be “grateful”
the constant second-guessing
the overwhelm of decision fatigue
the shame that maybe you’re not doing motherhood “right”
This is not a personal failure.
It’s the invisible emotional load of motherhood.
🌿 You’re Not Alone If You’re Struggling — During Pregnancy OR After Birth
Pregnancy Anxiety & Pregnancy After Loss
Many San Jose moms come to therapy because pregnancy feels nothing like what they expected.
Instead of peace, there’s:
fear before every scan
relief that lasts only minutes
panic over every symptom
dread that something might go wrong
isolation because no one understands the fear after a loss
You are not meant to carry that alone.
Postpartum Depression & Postpartum Anxiety
You may be experiencing:
intrusive thoughts
racing mind
overwhelm
crying spells
detachment
irritability
constant fear something will happen to the baby
Postpartum depression can make you feel hopeless, numb, or guilty.
Postpartum anxiety can make you feel hypervigilant, panicked, or unable to rest.
Both are highly treatable with the right support.

So you feel like YOU again — not just the version of you that motherhood demanded overnight.
Motherhood changes everything.
Therapy helps you find yourself.
