Support For Pregnant + Postpartum Moms Trying To Figure Out How To Care For Themselves in Pregnancy + Motherhood ✨

You’re So Grateful to Be on This Journey — But You Barely Recognize Yourself Anymore ✨

🌿 You’re exhausted but up all night with anxiety and racing thoughts
🌿 You’re snapping at your partner, crying in the bathroom, or feeling totally numb
🌿 Your body image is at an all-time low and you don’t feel comfortable in your own skin

🌿 You want to break generational cycles — but being met with criticism, confusion, or guilt-tripping from your parents or in-laws when you try to do things differently
🌿 You miss your routines, your independence, and just feeling like you
🌿 You keep thinking, Why is this so hard? and wonder how everyone else seems to be handling it better

Whether you're currently pregnant or deep in the postpartum haze — you're not alone.
And you’re not failing.

You’re in survival mode — and you don’t have to stay there. This is exactly where therapy can help.

Therapy for Pregnant + Postpartum Women in Santa Monica ✨

Pregnancy and postpartum are huge life transitions — physically, emotionally, and mentally. And in a place like Santa Monica, where everything looks serene on the outside, it’s easy to feel like you’re the only one struggling behind the scenes.

Maybe you’re anxious about the unknowns of birth and motherhood. Maybe you’re already in it, drowning in sleep deprivation, identity shifts, and nonstop pressure to “enjoy every moment.”

Wherever you are in the journey, therapy gives you space to breathe, process, and actually feel supported.

In our sessions, we’ll work on practical ways to:
🌿 Manage stress, overwhelm, anxiety, and shame
🌿 Reconnect with your body and sense of self
🌿 Release resentment and feel more connected to your partner
🌿 Prepare emotionally for birth or navigate the messy postpartum season
🌿 Cope with guilt, intrusive thoughts, rage, or grief that nobody warned you about

You don’t have to wait until everything falls apart to ask for support.
You deserve to feel like yourself again — not someday, now.

You're Not Broken. You're Just Carrying Too Much. ✨

Even if you have a supportive partner. Even if you “should” feel grateful.

I specialize in therapy for women experiencing:
• Anxiety during pregnancy
• Postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety
• Irritability, rage, and resentment
• Disconnection from your baby, partner, or self
• Identity loss and overwhelming mental load
• Grief after a difficult birth or traumatic postpartum experience

If you’ve caught yourself wondering “Will I ever feel like me again?” — you’re not alone.
And therapy can help.
