PERINATAL MENTAL HEALTH SPECIALIST · VIRTUAL THERAPY IN NY, MA, FL & SC

Therapy for Pregnancy & Postpartum Anxiety

Specialized support for women who look like they’re holding it together - but internally feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unlike themselves during pregnancy and new motherhood.

“Moms need a village and I’d be honored to be part of yours.”

YOU MAY BE HERE BECAUSE…

You love your baby and still feel overwhelmed

Pregnancy and motherhood can bring more anxiety than anyone prepares you for, especially if you’re used to handling everything well.

— Your mind won’t stop scanning for what could go wrong

— You’re pregnant or postpartum and feel more anxious than you expected

— You’re having intrusive thoughts that scare or confuse you

— You look like you’re functioning, but inside feel tense, irritable, or unlike yourself

— You’re tired of being told this is “normal mom worry”

— You’re grateful - and still struggling - and feel guilty about both

“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

Warm, collaborative, and
clinically grounded

I draw from CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, trauma-informed care, and perinatal mental health training to tailor treatment to your needs. Some sessions may focus on practical coping strategies, while others explore deeper patterns or the emotional weight of motherhood.

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