Therapy for the
postpartum period and beyond.

New parenthood is supposed to be joyful. And it is — and it's also exhausting, disorienting, and sometimes deeply hard. Both things are true, and both deserve care.

What It Looks Like

It doesn't have to feel this hard
for it to be real.

Postpartum depression and anxiety don't always look the way people expect. It's not always crying all the time — it can be numbness, irritability, intrusive thoughts, feeling disconnected from your baby or yourself, or just a persistent sense that something is deeply wrong even when everything looks fine from the outside.

The perinatal period — from pregnancy through the first year and beyond — is one of the most significant identity transitions a person can go through. Your body, your relationships, your sense of self, your priorities — all of it shifts at once. Therapy during this time isn't a sign that something is wrong with you. It's one of the most practical things you can do.

I work with new and expecting parents navigating the full range of this experience — including those who are struggling to bond, feeling ambivalent about parenthood, or processing a difficult birth or loss.

Postpartum depression — persistent low mood, hopelessness, difficulty functioning

Postpartum anxiety — constant worry, hypervigilance, inability to rest even when the baby sleeps

Intrusive thoughts about harm — frightening and unwanted, but far more common than people know

Feeling disconnected from your baby, your partner, or yourself

Identity grief — mourning the person you were before, even while loving your child

Processing birth trauma, pregnancy loss, or infertility

How I Work With This

You're not failing.
You're in one of the hardest transitions there is.

Perinatal mental health work requires both warmth and clinical specificity. I understand the particular phenomenology of postpartum depression and anxiety — the intrusive thoughts that feel shameful but are neurologically normal, the way sleep deprivation compounds everything, the grief of an identity that's been permanently altered.

I also understand that new parents are often running on empty and need therapy that is efficient, practical, and genuinely supportive — not just a place to process feelings. We'll do both. I'll meet you where you are.

Virtual sessions make it easier to fit therapy into the reality of new parenthood — you don't have to arrange childcare or commute. I work with clients throughout California and Massachusetts.
