Mama, You Deserve Better Than Survival Mode

Therapy For Women in Orange County, San Diego, LA, + California

You Don’t Have To Keep Doing This On Your Own. This is Your Space to Finally Exhale.

For The Parts of Motherhood An Iced Triple Espresso Can’t Fix. ☕

Reclaim your life from the Chaos, Exhaustion, and Burnout 

(Without the Caffeine Withdrawal!)

Right Now:

👉 You’re barely surviving, exhausted, + constantly on the verge of losing your sanity. You feel guilty about the way you are showing up for your child, your partner, and yourself but you don’t know how to get out of the toxic cycle.
👉 Postpartum hits and your “me time” is crying in the bathroom while scrolling Instagram, where every mom is a CEO with perfect hair, perfect kids, and somehow managed to whip up an “effortless” quinoa salad for lunch. Meanwhile, you're inhaling cold mac n' cheese over the sink + feeling like a failure.
👉 You love your baby, but holy shit, you didn’t sign up to lose your entire identity in the process. One more toddler tantrum and you’re gonna scream into your cold cup of coffee, yell at your toddler, fight with your partner, then feel guilty about it for the rest of the day.

Now Imagine This:

👉 Admitting you HATE parts of motherhood without feeling like a monster.
👉 Finally tackling the chronic anxiety, exhaustion, and burnout causing intense feelings of guilt, overwhelm and shame so you can finally show up for yourself and connect with your family in a way that feels aligned for you.
👉 Reconnecting with your partner (even when they feel like your annoying roommate who eats all your food, complains about how tired they are, and creates more work for you.)

What if Motherhood felt less like survival—and more like you?

👉 Imagine waking up without the guilt hangover from wanting your old life back. Instead, you’re confidently owning your choices—whether that’s daycare/staying home, nursing/formula, adjusting to life as a stay at home parent or looking forward to going back to work. 

👉 I’m here to support you while you make decisions that are best for you, your mental health, your values and your family.

Specialized therapy for:

Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Motherhood are hyper-focused on the baby - here the focus is on caring for You.

Hey, I’m Alexa, Perinatal Therapist For Women

For the past decade I’ve been supporting badass, professional women, like you, tackle the chaos of motherhood.

Through my own experience as a millenial mom of two young children, a partner, and a therapist, I have learned it is impossible to nurture others without caring for ourselves first.

Seriously, I tried it.

In therapy, we will work together to determine how and what you need to care for yourself, while your toddler refuses to nap and enjoys some uninterrupted snacks and screen time (Shout out Blippi!)

Together We Will:

  • Explore how to identify and meet your needs (because they matter–and moms deserve nap times, too.) 

  • Talk through whether you’re one-and-done or want more kids — AND feel okay with not having it all figured out. 

  • Effectively Prep for postpartum and create a support plan that works.

  • Deal with the PTSD of having had a baby or small child during COVID. 

  • Tackle perinatal mood disorders including depression and/or anxiety during pregnancy, postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety with real strategies.

  • Drop the resentment and rebuild your relationship with your partner.

  •  Break the cycles of generational trauma that have suddenly resurfaced. 

  • Set healthy boundaries with family and friends without feeling like the bad guy.

Whether you’re in Santa Monica, Encinitas, or anywhere in California, therapy shouldn’t be one more thing on your to-do list. Virtual sessions mean you can get real support for your real life, without traffic, parking, or packing a diaper bag. I can’t wait to support you during this season of Motherhood!
