Who I Help

Pregnancy and early motherhood bring intense joy, but also anxiety, exhaustion, and self-doubt. One day you're feeling the excitement of baby kicks, the next you're overwhelmed by worry when they stop or feel different. You have nightmares that you won’t be a good mom while you dedicate so much time researching and planning for your baby. After birth, you might expect to feel only love and joy, but instead, intrusive thoughts and sleepless nights take over, leaving you feeling anxious, disconnected, or even guilty.

It’s normal to feel gratitude and love—and also fear, sadness, rage or resentment—in early motherhood. These emotions can be disorienting and are rarely talked about. I help moms navigate:

  • Postpartum depression

  • Mom rage

  • Recovery from traumatic or unexpected births

  • Balancing motherhood and self-care

  • Miscarriage

I also support clients through various seasons of life.

My Approach

As a Christian therapist specializing in maternal mental health, I provide a compassionate space to help you navigate these challenges. Together, we’ll work to identify your strengths, explore your vision for motherhood, and help you reconnect with yourself and your baby with more confidence and peace. I offer personalized care for moms who want to feel good and be present in their own lives and for their families.

I offer therapy at our Fallbrook office and via telehealth, so you can access care in the way that works best for your busy life as a new mom.

Your Questions About Maternal Health Answered

  • Maternal mental health refers to a mother’s emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing during pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood. This includes experiences such as anxiety, depression, overwhelm, identity changes, and adjustment to new roles. Maternal mental health challenges are common and treatable.

  • The “baby blues” usually last up to two weeks after birth and may include tearfulness, mood swings, or irritability.

    If symptoms such as persistent sadness, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, difficulty bonding, sleep problems, or feeling hopeless last longer or interfere with daily functioning, it may be helpful to seek professional support.

  • Yes. Many mothers experience intense emotions during pregnancy and postpartum due to hormonal shifts, sleep deprivation, life changes, and increased responsibility.

  • Therapy can help mothers:

    • Process birth experiences or trauma

    • Manage anxiety, depression, or intrusive thoughts

    • Adjust to identity and relationship changes

    • Reduce guilt, perfectionism, and burnout

    • Learn nervous system regulation and self-care skills

    • Strengthen bonding and confidence in parenting

    Therapy offers a safe, non-judgmental space to be seen and supported.

  • Consider reaching out if:

    • Your mood feels low or anxious most days

    • You feel overwhelmed, numb, or disconnected

    • You have scary or intrusive thoughts that keep you from enjoying everyday life. This can include being afraid to carry the baby from one room to another, monitoring the baby's weight, or googling symptoms often.

    • You feel like you’re “not yourself”

    • You simply want more support in this season

    You don’t have to wait until things feel severe. Early support can make a big difference.
