This feels hard because it is hard.
The transition into motherhood can be meaningful and deeply overwhelming—often at the same time.

You may find yourself feeling more anxious than you expected, constantly on edge, or questioning whether you’re doing things “right.” Even when things look okay from the outside, it can feel heavy, isolating, or harder than you expected it to be.

Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand what’s going on beneath the surface, and feel more grounded in yourself again.
I offer perinatal therapy in Calabasas and the greater Los Angeles area, as well as virtual therapy for clients throughout California. Together we'll take the time to understand what's been feeling off and help you find your footing again.

"This isn't what I expected"


​Many of the women I work with are used to being capable, thoughtful, and holding things together—but during pregnancy or postpartum, something shifts.

You might notice:
  • Feeling constantly on edge or unable to relax
  • Intrusive or racing thoughts that are hard to quiet
  • Feeling overwhelmed, irritable, or emotionally raw
  • Guilt, self-doubt, or pressure to be doing things “perfectly”
  • A sense of disconnection—from yourself, your partner, or even your baby

Nothing you're feeling is "too much" or "not enough" to bring into therapy.

What is therapy like?


​My approach is warm, collaborative, and thoughtful. I’m actively engaged in the work with you—not just listening, but helping you make sense of what’s going on and find ways to feel more steady and supported.

Together, we’ll look at patterns that may be contributing to anxiety or overwhelm, process experiences that still feel unresolved, and build tools that help you move through daily life with more ease and clarity.

​This is a space where you don’t have to hold everything together or have it all figured out.

Using EMDR


​For some clients, EMDR therapy can be especially helpful during the perinatal period. It allows us to process experiences that feel stuck—such as a difficult birth, medical experiences, or earlier life events that may be resurfacing during this time.
​
EMDR can be incorporated into weekly therapy or offered in a more focused intensive format, depending on your needs and preferences.

What I help with


​I work with individuals navigating many aspects of the perinatal period, including:
  • Anxiety during pregnancy or postpartum
  • Postpartum anxiety or depression
  • Birth trauma or difficult medical experiences
  • Fertility challenges
  • Pregnancy loss or miscarriage
  • Identity shifts and emotional adjustment to motherhood

A Thoughtful, Grounded Approach


​I have advanced training and certification in perinatal mental health, with specialized focus on supporting individuals through fertility challenges, pregnancy and postpartum.

I’m also a mom myself, and while every experience is different, I understand firsthand how meaningful—and at times overwhelming and heavy—this season of life can be.

My approach brings together clinical expertise and lived experience to offer care that is thoughtful, grounded, and deeply attuned to what you’re going through.
