Therapy for Moms Who Are Overwhelmed, Exhausted + Ready To Stop Living in Survival Mode.

You’re the One Holding It All Together + You’re Starting to Break ✨


🌿 You’re managing the routines, the emotions, the constant moving pieces — and it’s wearing you down.
🌿 You’re irritable, resentful, or just plain angry — especially with your partner. The little things turn into fights, and the big things never get talked about.
🌿 You miss the closeness, the ease, the version of your relationship where it felt like you were in it together. Now it feels like you’re doing it all alone — exhausted, touched out, and stretched too thin.
🌿 You keep pushing through because you have to… but inside, you’re craving space to just be.

🌿 Therapy gives you that space — to exhale, to feel supported, and to start reconnecting with yourself, your partner, and the people you love.

If you're searching for a therapist in San Diego, chances are you’re not just looking for advice. You’re looking for a space to be real. To say, “I’m not okay” — and have someone meet you with compassion, not judgment or toxic positivity.

Modern Therapy for Pregnant + Postpartum Moms in San Diego

  • Hi, I’m Alexa — San Diego–based licensed therapist, mom of two, and founder of Therapy for California Moms.
    I specialize in supporting women through the raw, unfiltered parts of motherhood — from the mental load of pregnancy to the identity shifts and emotional storms of postpartum.

    This work is personal for me. I’ve lived it. And I’m here to help you feel grounded, seen, and supported — no matter where you’re at in the journey.

    What We’ll Work On Together

    🌿 Understanding and managing anxiety or depression during pregnancy or postpartum
    🌿 Coping with intrusive thoughts, overwhelm, or constant overstimulation
    🌿 Releasing guilt, rage, or pressure to do it all “perfectly”
    🌿 Redefining your identity outside of motherhood
    🌿 Rebuilding connection with your body, your partner, and yourself

    Signs You Might Be Struggling (Even If You’re Still Getting Everything Done)

    ✅ You feel numb, snappy, weepy, or like a shell of who you used to be
    ✅ You’re constantly on edge or lost in your thoughts
    ✅ You love your baby, but you miss your old life — or your old self
    ✅ You feel guilty, disconnected, or like you’re failing
    ✅ You’re tired of keeping it together while no one checks in on you

    You don’t need a diagnosis or a label. You just need space to say:
    "This is too much. And I don’t want to keep doing it alone."

    You’re Allowed to Want More Than Survival Mode

    You deserve more than just pushing through the day.
    You deserve support that centers you — your needs, your emotions, your healing.

    Therapy is a place where you get to be honest. Where you’re allowed to fall apart.
    Where you can breathe again, take off the mask, and start finding your way back to yourself.
