Everything feels overwhelming. Getting out of bed is hard, and leaving the house can feel impossible. You may be anxious most of the time, maybe to the point of skipping the gatherings and visits you used to enjoy. Intrusive thoughts and worries you can’t shake may be taking over your mind, along with urges to do certain things just to quiet them. To quiet the thoughts!! The past and the future both feel heavy, and even the present is hard to sit with. Why?

Pregnancy and new motherhood can bring all of this to the surface, especially when you’re also carrying the weight of being a person of color, neurodivergent, and/or queer person in a society that wasn’t built with you in mind.

So. In a world that asks so much of mothers and parents, it makes sense if you feel anxious, stuck, or disconnected from yourself.

I am a therapist, a mom, and a human. I’ve been where you are. I believe there are many parts of you, each with its own wisdom, story, and needs, and each deserving compassion. You deserve space to set down some of what you’ve been carrying. Whether you’re dealing with constant worry, unwanted thoughts, the ups and downs of pregnancy or life as a new mom, or you’re simply trying to find your way back to yourself, or a place to overcome being so socially anxious --- you’ve found a safe place to land. :)
