Pregnancy, Perinatal & Postpartum Therapy in Lodi, California
Compassionate therapy for women navigating pregnancy, postpartum anxiety and depression, birth trauma, infertility, miscarriage, and the transition into motherhood. Offering in-person therapy in Lodi and virtual sessions throughout California.
Becoming a Mother Can Change Everything
Pregnancy and motherhood are often described as some of life's happiest moments. While they can be filled with joy and excitement, they can also bring unexpected emotions, challenges, and changes that many women don't feel prepared for.
You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, or wondering why this season feels so much harder than you expected. You may even find yourself asking, "Is this normal?"
You deserve a space where you don't have to pretend you're okay.
Whether you're preparing to welcome your first baby, adjusting to life with a newborn, grieving a pregnancy loss, or recovering from a difficult birth experience, you deserve support from someone who understands both the emotional and practical realities of this season.
Specialized Perinatal & Postpartum Mental Health Support
As both a therapist and a mom, I understand that pregnancy, the postpartum period, and the transition into motherhood can be both meaningful and overwhelming.
With specialized training in perinatal and postpartum mental health, I support women navigating pregnancy, postpartum anxiety and depression, birth trauma, infertility, miscarriage, and the many emotional changes that can come with welcoming a new baby.
My goal is to provide a compassionate, supportive space where you feel understood, gain practical tools to navigate this season, and begin feeling more like yourself again.
