Therapy for Moms
Becoming a mom is supposed to be the happiest time of your life.
At least, that's what everyone says.
But for a lot of moms, it doesn't feel that way. You may love your baby deeply and still feel anxious, exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of yourself in ways you never expected.
Most moms struggle more than they talk about. Social media shows the highlight reel. Behind the scenes, a lot of moms are running on no sleep, carrying intense emotions, and wondering why this feels so hard.
Nothing is wrong with you.
Motherhood is one of the biggest transitions you will ever go through. And you don't have to figure it out alone.
You may be feeling anxious all the time.
You may feel overwhelmed or on edge.
You may be having intrusive or scary thoughts you’re afraid to say out loud.
You may feel sad, numb, or disconnected from yourself or your baby.
You may still be replaying a difficult or traumatic birth.
You may be pregnant and worried about what’s coming next.
These experiences are more common than you think. And they are extremely treatable.
You don't have to keep carrying this alone.
I’m Katy
I’m a therapist who specializes in working with moms during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
I've worked with moms and families for over 20 years, and I'm a mom myself. I know firsthand how much the first year can upend everything you thought you knew about yourself, even when everything looks fine on the outside.
Therapy with me is a place where you can be honest about how hard this really is, without being told to "just be grateful" or "enjoy every moment."
How I help
I work with moms who are navigating different paths into motherhood, including:
New Moms adjusting to the emotional and identity shift after having a baby
NICU Moms parenting preemies and micro-preemies through an experience they never planned for
Healthcare Moms holding it together at work and falling apart at home
Teacher Moms who give everything in the classroom and have nothing left at night
Police Wives doing it largely alone while their partner works unpredictable, high-risk hours
I also help moms with specific concerns, including:
You don’t need to know exactly what’s “wrong” to reach out. We can figure that out together.
Therapy that meets you where you are
Whether you're pregnant and trying to prepare, newly postpartum and overwhelmed, or months into motherhood and wondering why you still don't feel like yourself — support can help.
You don't have to wait until things feel unbearable to reach out.
I offer virtual therapy across 11 states and a free consultation so you can ask questions and see if we're a good fit.
Taking the first step can feel intimidating. You don't have to do it perfectly. You just have to start.
