Therapy for Moms

Therapy for New Moms

 Becoming a mom changes everything, often in ways we don’t expect. You might notice parts of who you used to be feeling a little lost, or find yourself questioning and doubting more than you ever thought you would. Sleepless nights, new worries, and the constant demands of caring for a little one can feel overwhelming, and it’s easy to feel like you’re carrying it all alone.


I’m here to walk with you through this transition. In therapy, we’ll create a safe space to explore what you’re feeling, honor the changes in your identity, and gently help you reconnect with yourself. You’ll learn tools to soothe your nervous system, ease mom guilt, navigate overwhelm, and build routines and support systems that actually fit your life. My goal is to support you in feeling more grounded, more present, and more like yourself again—because you deserve that calm and connection just as much as your little one does.

Therapy for Pregnant or Postpartum Moms

Although many new moms experience the "baby blues," many moms and dads (yes, dads too!) do not realize they are experiencing Postpartum Depression, or another Perinatal Mood or Anxiety Disorder (PMAD). Typically, “baby blues” occurs within two to three days after delivery and may last for two to three consecutive weeks. Anything longer than this, during pregnancy or in the first-year post birth, may indicate something more, or simply a need for additional support in the transition to having a new baby. You are not a bad person, mom, dad, or partner if you are experiencing difficulty or symptoms related to the birth of a new baby. 


I offer therapy for new moms who experiencing symptoms of the baby blues, postpartum depression or anxiety, or moms looking for support navigating the unexpected challenges that come with motherhood. Although it can be difficult to ask for help, with the right support and intervention things can get better.   

Therapy for Moms Navigating ADHD

  Motherhood is a lot. And when you have ADHD, it can feel like so much more.


Many moms with ADHD carry a constant sense of mental overload — juggling a million thoughts, big emotions, forgotten tasks, unfinished routines, and that heavy guilt that whispers you’re not doing enough… even when you’re giving everything you have. You might love your kids deeply and still feel exhausted, scattered, or stretched thin in ways that are hard to explain to others.


The demands of motherhood can intensify ADHD symptoms, and it’s common for anxiety, low mood, or burnout to show up too. You’re not broken — you’re human, and you’re navigating something genuinely challenging.


I offer a compassionate, judgment-free space to help you better understand how ADHD shows up in your life, release some of the shame, and learn practical tools that actually fit real life with kids. We often focus on things like regulating emotions, lightening the mental load, creating gentle and realistic routines, and building self-compassion — so you can feel more grounded, more confident, and more supported as the mom you already are.

Common Areas of Focus in Therapy with Moms

  • Learning gentle ways to calm and regulate your nervous system
  • Exploring the changes in your identity since having a baby, and honoring the grief that can come with them
  • Building community that feels right for you—through family, friends, other moms, local groups, or additional support
  • Finding ways to ease mom guilt
  • Creating home routines and systems that actually work for you, so you can keep up without feeling scattered
  • Navigating feelings of overwhelm, frustration, or anger with care and understanding
  • Learning ways to manage scary or instrusive thoughts
  • Managing overstimulation and sensory overload in motherhood
  • Reconnecting with yourself when you don’t quite feel like “you” anymore
