PERINATAL MENTAL HEALTH SPECIALIST · VIRTUAL THERAPY IN NY, MA, FL & SC
Therapy for Pregnancy & Postpartum Anxiety
You're managing. You're showing up. And you're exhausted in a way you can't quite explain to anyone.
“Moms need a village and I’d be honored to be part of yours.”
YOU MAY BE HERE BECAUSE…
You love your baby. And you're not okay.
Most of the women I work with don't look like they're struggling. They look like they're handling it. But inside, something is off — and they've been waiting for it to get bad enough to justify asking for help.
It's already bad enough.
— Your mind won't quiet down, no matter how tired you are
— You're having thoughts that scare you and you haven't told anyone
— You snap at people you love and then hate yourself for it
— You keep waiting to feel the way you thought you'd feel
— Someone told you this is just what new motherhood is like, and you don't believe them anymore
— You're grateful. You're also barely holding on. Both things are true.
“Anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum is common, treatable, and nothing to be ashamed of. You don’t have to wait until you reach a breaking point to ask for support.”
— Dianna Mulford, LCSW, PMH-C
WHAT YOU MAY BE FEELING
Racing thoughts · Intrusive thoughts · Guilt · Overwhelm · Irritability · Identity loss · Fear of the worst · Constant “what ifs” · Feeling unlike yourself · Emotional exhaustion
HOW THERAPY CAN HELP
You deserve support that makes room for the full complexity of this transition
01
Understand what’s happening
Gain clarity on what anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and postpartum overwhelm actually are and why they’re showing up for you.
02
Build practical tools
Learn evidence based coping strategies to manage anxiety in real life: nervous system regulation, thought work, and more.
03
Reduce shame
Feel less alone in your experience. Many capable, high-functioning women struggle internally during this season — you are not broken.
04
Process the emotional weight
Explore identity shifts, relationship stress, and the emotional complexity of becoming a mother in a space that holds it all.
05
Strengthen self-trust
Build confidence in yourself as a mother. Learn to tolerate uncertainty without it consuming your thoughts.
06
Feel like yourself again
The goal isn’t just symptom reduction — it’s helping you feel more grounded, present, and connected to who you are.
MY APPROACH
This isn't going to be generic
Some sessions we work on tools — interrupting the spiral, regulating your nervous system, changing the thought patterns that are running on a loop. Other sessions we go deeper, into what's really driving the anxiety, what motherhood is bringing up, what you've been carrying for longer than you think.
I use CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, trauma-informed care, and ERP when intrusive thoughts are part of the picture. But the approach follows you — not the other way around.

"As a mom of 2, I understand this deeply and I know how to treat it. You are not alone."
