You’re tired of feeling like you’re supposed to be happy but feel anything but.

It’s like you’re living two stories: The one you show others and the one that keeps you up at night.

Pregnancy and new parenthood can be beautiful- but they can also stir up old hurts, deep fears, and feelings you didn’t expect. Maybe you find yourself triggered by your own past, feeling anxious all the time, or wondering why you can’t just feel the joy everyone tells you to feel.

You might feel guilty for struggling, like you should be grateful when inside you’re overwhelmed and exhausted. You’re holding so much- the baby, the expectations, the memories, the fear of not being good enough- all while trying to look like you have it together.

You don’t have to hold all of this alone. Here, there’s space for every messy feeling, every worry, every old wound that parenthood has brought back to the surface. Together, we’ll help you feel safer in your mind and body, so you can show up for yourself as gently as you do for everyone else.

Sound like you?

You can’t stop the intrusive thoughts or worst-case worries.

You’re carrying shame and guilt for not feeling how you “should.”

You cry in the shower and wonder if you’ll ever feel like yourself again.

You wonder if you’re failing as a parent, partner, or person.

Here’s what we’ll do together

Therapy can help you untangle the emotions and trauma that make this time feel so heavy.

Therapy can give you a gentle place to say the things you’re afraid to say out loud- the fear, the resentment, the grief that comes with pregnancy and parenthood sometimes. There’s no judgment here, only understanding.

Together, we’ll explore what’s resurfacing for you and why. We’ll use tools that help you feel safer in your own mind and body, untangling old pain so you can be present now.

You don’t have to do this alone or keep pretending you’re okay. Here, you can show up exactly as you are - tired, anxious, overwhelmed- and find your way back to feeling more like yourself again.

At the end of the day, I want you to know:

You’re not a bad parent for struggling- you’re a human being doing the best you can.
