Postpartum Anxiety Therapy in California

You're not “a little anxious.” You're overwhelmed, exhausted, and constantly bracing for something bad to happen.

Your brain is doing exactly what overwhelmed nervous systems do after birth:

• racing thoughts

• panic or dread for no clear reason

• compulsively checking the baby

• tightness in your chest or stomach

• trouble falling or staying asleep even when baby is sleeping

• feeling like you can’t relax your mind or your body

You’re analyzing every cry, Googling every symptom, and second-guessing yourself at every turn — while everyone else seems to be “handling motherhood just fine.”

But here’s the truth: postpartum anxiety is common, treatable, and never your fault.

You are not failing.
Your system is overwhelmed — and with the right support, you can get relief.

📍 I support moms across all of California, including Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, the SF Bay Area, Carlsbad, Encinitas, and beyond.

What Is Postpartum Anxiety?

Postpartum anxiety is a form of anxiety that appears after giving birth and involves persistent, intrusive worry that feels disproportionate to the situation. Unlike normal parenting stress, postpartum anxiety creates constant dread, rapid thoughts, and a hyper-alert nervous system.

Common Symptoms of Postpartum Anxiety

• Racing thoughts

• Feeling on edge or panicky

• Compulsively checking your baby

• Difficulty sleeping even when tired

• Fear something bad will happen

• Tightness in chest or stomach

• Feeling disconnected because your mind is “too loud”

Why Does Postpartum Anxiety Happen?

Hormonal shifts, sleep deprivation, birth trauma, family stress, unrealistic expectations, and the mental load of caring for a newborn can all overwhelm the nervous system.

How Therapy Helps

Therapy provides grounding techniques, cognitive tools, emotional processing, and nervous-system regulation skills to reduce fear, restore sleep, and rebuild confidence.

FAQs About Postpartum Anxiety Therapy

How do I know if it’s postpartum anxiety or “normal worry”?

Normal worry comes and goes. Postpartum anxiety feels constant, intrusive, and overwhelming — and often interferes with sleep, daily life, or bonding with your baby.

If you’re unsure, therapy provides clarity and support. Whether you're in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, or the SF Bay Area, I support moms throughout California facing pregnancy after loss, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and the challenges of early motherhood.

Is postpartum anxiety different from postpartum depression?

Yes. Postpartum depression often brings sadness, emptiness, or numbness. Postpartum anxiety often shows up as racing thoughts, panic, and hyper-vigilance.

Many moms experience a mix of both — and both are treatable.

Do I need medication?

Not always. Many moms improve through therapy alone. If you would like to explore the option of medication I’m happy to coordinate care with your doctor or psychiatrist.

How long will therapy take?

Every mom is different. Some feel relief within weeks; others benefit from longer support. What matters most is having a consistent space to heal.
