Therapy for Expecting Moms and Postpartum Support

I work with moms.

  • First-time moms who experience lots of worries and doubts about whether they are a good mom.

  • A mom who is doubting if she is a good enough mom.

  • A mom who relies on societal norms and social media and uses it negatively compares herself.

  • A mom who works very hard to be a mom, partner, sister, and wife, but at the end of the day, she feels empty inside, as if she is failing being a mom and failing her child and her partner.

  • A mom who compares herself to other moms whose parenting she views as perfect.

  • A mom who experiences identity crises after giving birth.

  • A mom who has a hard time asking for help or delegate and tends to put whole responsibility and workload on herself. A mom who buried her needs and forgot what it was like to have her needs.

  • A mom who feels guilty for going out. A mom who relies on external factors to feel good about herself: society norms, social media, and family approval.

  • A mom who struggled to support herself when she had a bad day.

  • A mom who has a hard time showing compassion to herself and normalizing her struggles.

  • A mom who feels sad about being a mom and keeps it to herself.

  • A mom who has been hiding her tears and had to cry alone.

  • A mom who feels lonely.

  • A mom who feels disconnected from her partner.

  • A mom who feels touched out and experiences a lack of intimacy with her partner.

  • A mom who struggled with infertility or miscarriage and had such high expectations of how motherhood would be a blissful moment, finally feeling good about herself, but then the reality has been very different: exhaustion, fear, and loneliness.

Your motherhood journey is not a linear process.

You might find yourself having a very different picture of what society or social media portrays and what your motherhood experience is.

You might have encountered some of these obstacles:

  • Infertility 

  • Miscarriage

  • Having a traumatic birth experience 

  • Feeling sad during pregnancy and postpartum 

  • Anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum

  • Breastfeeding challenges 

  • Fears and doubts about becoming parents 

  • Loss of connection with the partner 

  • Feelings of not being a good enough mother/partner...

I provide a safe space to share about these challenges in the parenting journey. By working together, you can name these obstacles, normalize them, bring awareness to internalized societal beliefs that might not serve you anymore, and create a point in your motherhood journey.

Your healing starts when you take the first steps by telling yourself you do not deserve to struggle silently.
