Therapy For Postpartum Depression For Women in California
Everyone keeps telling you to ‘enjoy every moment’ but you’re just trying to get through each day without drowning.
You knew Postpartum Would Be Hard But Not Like This.
You’re sleep deprived, exhausted, overwhelmed, irritable, and about to lose your shit on your partner (who is sleeping peacefully while you have woken up for the 7th time that night.)
Your resentment is growing as your partner is preparing to return to work and you’re still trying to figure out how to feed your baby, take a shower, and keep your head above water. You’re overwhelmed without the support (or sleep) you need to function.
You knew postpartum would be hard but not this hard.
You’re numb, running on autopilot, barely able to find the energy to get out of bed — and yet somehow still responsible for keeping a tiny human alive. You stare at the pile of laundry, the sink full of dishes, the baby monitor flashing, and feel completely paralyzed.
Therapy for Postpartum depression is about so much more than just surviving each day. It’s about reclaiming your sense of self, finding small moments of peace again, and slowly building back the emotional bandwidth you’ve been missing. In our work together, I’ll meet you exactly where you are—whether that’s crying through a session, venting the impossible pressures you’re under, or figuring out how to feel something again after months of going numb.
Therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you remember that you were never broken to begin with.

Mama, You Don’t Have To Keep Pretending You’re Okay When You’re Drowning Inside.
If you're feeling lost in postpartum, you're not broken — you need support.
Postpartum depression is not just feeling a little off after having a baby.
It’s bone-deep exhaustion.
It’s crying without knowing why.
It’s the weight of guilt, sadness, and anxiety that never seems to lift — even when everything “looks fine” on the outside.
This isn’t your fault.
Your brain, your body, and your entire life have been through an intense transformation. It makes complete sense that you're feeling overwhelmed. You were never meant to do this without support.
While so much of the attention is focused on the baby, the truth is: you matter, too. And a 6-week checkup isn’t enough.
You deserve more than a quick “how are you doing?” and a reminder to “just sleep when the baby sleeps.” You deserve real care.
Therapy is your space to be honest about what this actually feels like. And support that’s centered on your healing — not just getting through the day.

The sadness feels heavy, like you're dragging around an invisible weight no one else seems to notice. As your partner gears up to head back to work and people start assuming you’ve "got this," you’re still drowning — in tears you hide, in guilt you don’t talk about, in the fear that maybe you're failing at all of it. You love your baby, but that fierce, overwhelming joy you were promised feels out of reach — and you’re left wondering what’s wrong with you.
Spoiler: Nothing’s wrong with you.
Postpartum depression isn't a sign you’re a bad mom — it’s a sign you need real support, not more pressure to "be grateful" or "enjoy every moment."
