Therapy For Pregnant + Postpartum Women in Carlsbad, CA
Therapy for Pregnant + Postpartum Moms in Carlsbad, CA
From the outside, you might look like you’re doing great. But on the inside, you’re:
Crying in the car or shower just to release the pressure
Feeling disconnected from your partner, your body, or yourself
Snapping at your kids, then spiraling into guilt
Wondering how you’re supposed to keep doing this every day
Feeling guilty that you’re not enjoying this stage — even though you “should”
Whether you’re pregnant and anxious, newly postpartum and emotionally raw, or deep in motherhood and totally burned out, therapy can help you feel less reactive, more grounded, and more like you again.
Living in Carlsbad has its perks — sunshine, ocean breezes, and a family-friendly lifestyle. But even in a beautiful place like this, motherhood can still feel isolating, overwhelming, and completely disorienting.
If you’re pregnant or postpartum in Carlsbad, California, and feel like you’re drowning behind the scenes while everyone around you seems to be thriving — you are not alone. You’re not broken. You’re just carrying more than anyone was meant to.
Hi, I’m Alexa — Therapist for Moms in Carlsbad and Across California
I’m a San Diego based licensed therapist and a mom of two, and I work with overwhelmed, exhausted, high-functioning moms across California — including in Carlsbad — who are ready to stop pretending they’re fine.
In my virtual therapy practice, I specialize in supporting women through:
Pregnancy-related anxiety, fear, and intrusive thoughts
Postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, identity loss, and mom rage
Perfectionism, pressure to “do it all,” and emotional burnout
The deep grief that sometimes comes with early motherhood
You don’t need to justify your pain. You just need a space to feel seen, supported, and empowered.
Online Therapy for Moms in Carlsbad, CA
Motherhood is demanding enough — therapy shouldn’t add more stress to your day.
I offer secure, online therapy sessions that you can access from home, your car, or wherever you can carve out a few quiet moments. No traffic. No scrambling for childcare. Just 50 minutes that are focused you.
What We Can Work On Together
In our sessions, we’ll gently explore:
The emotional weight of motherhood and why it feels so hard
Your identity before and after baby — and how to reclaim your sense of self
How to cope with overstimulation, mom rage, and guilt
Practical tools for boundaries, communication, and emotional regulation
A new way of showing up for yourself without abandoning the people you love
You’re not selfish for needing support. You’re human.
You Deserve Support, Too
Carlsbad is a beautiful place to raise a family — but that doesn’t mean motherhood here is easy. If you’re tired of pushing through and ready to feel like yourself again, therapy can help.
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so you can see if we’re a good fit.
