Pregnancy & Postpartum Support
You can love your baby and still feel like you’re drowning. Both are true.
Up to 1 in 5 mothers experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder — and almost none of them saw it coming. I did this work the hard way: after my first baby, I lived through postpartum anxiety that went undiagnosed and quietly became depression. I know how it feels to be holding everything together while you're falling apart inside.
As a Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) therapist, I help mothers across Virginia through pregnancy, postpartum, and the identity earthquake of matrescence — postpartum anxiety and depression, intrusive thoughts, birth trauma, rage, and the loneliness no one warned you about. You don't have to earn help by falling apart first.
A good fit if
- Postpartum anxiety, depression, or intrusive thoughts
- Birth trauma or a birth that didn’t go how you imagined
- Rage, resentment, or numbness that scares you
- Feeling like you lost yourself somewhere in motherhood
What to expect
- A judgment-free space where nothing you say is too much
- Care from a therapist certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C)
- Practical nervous-system support, not just talk
- In person in Fairfax or virtually anywhere in Virginia
