This Isn't What You Expected

- Maybe you're constantly on edge, waiting for something bad to happen.
- Maybe you feel disconnected from your baby or like you're not really here.
- Maybe you're scared of your own thoughts or worried that this anxiety is affecting your baby.
- You might feel like you failed, like your body failed you, or like everyone else seems fine while you're falling apart.
You're not a bad mother.
Postpartum anxiety and depression are real, common, and treatable.

How We Work Together
In our sessions, we work to calm your nervous system, process what you've been through (including birth trauma or difficult postpartum experiences), and help you feel more present and connected.
Using trauma-informed, body-based approaches like EMDR, somatic therapy, and evidence-based counseling, we help you understand your anxiety, release shame and self-blame, and feel safer in your body and your motherhood.
Early support matters. Getting help now can reduce your distress, improve your ability to bond with your baby, and help you feel more confident and emotionally present as a mother.
