Therapy for New Moms, Postpartum Anxiety & Identity Changes

“From the moment I was pregnant, I didn’t just feel different. I was different. I am different. On a cellular level. I would never be singular again.” - Lucy Jones, Matrescence

Becoming a mom can shift every part of your life — your relationships, your sense of self, your body, your routines, and your emotional well-being. You may be experiencing postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, feelings of overwhelm, grief, loneliness, or a loss of identity. You may feel disconnected from who you were before having children, while also trying to adjust to the demands of caring for a new baby.

No matter what your parenthood journey looks like, it is common for this season of life to hold both joy and grief at the same time. Therapy can provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to process the emotional challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting while helping you reconnect with yourself.

I work with new and expecting moms navigating:

  • Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety

  • Identity changes after becoming a parent

  • Overwhelm, burnout, and emotional exhaustion

  • Relationship and communication challenges after having children

  • Grief, loneliness, or loss of self

  • Pregnancy and postpartum transitions

  • Balancing parenthood with personal identity and goals

Therapy offers a place to speak honestly about both the beauty and the difficulty of parenthood. Together, we can explore the emotional realities of this transition, help you feel more supported, and create space for both healing and growth as you navigate life as a parent.
