Therapy for pregnant and postpartum women and couples in Bay Area, CA 
Pregnancy and postpartum are unique experiences that bring a wide range of emotions and challenges. No one can truly understand the impact of postpartum until they are in it.

I am here to provide that support, to tell you that you are not alone, that it is okay to not feel okay, and to provide the guidance and validation you may need.

Therapy services can be offered virtually to meet your individual needs and provide flexibility, or as walk-and-talk therapy in the Livermore and Pleasanton area.

Counseling for Moms

Individual therapy services for mothers struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, or stress. Available in person in the Livermore & Pleasanton area and via telehealth to residents in CA.

The struggles of parenting go beyond the first few years after a baby is born. I offer therapy services to moms struggling with the challenges of parenting, having their own identity, and struggling with their relationship.

As a mom, you may feel that you are constantly meeting others’ needs while putting yours aside. It can be hard to juggle being a mom, an employee, a partner, and a friend, while feeling like you are keeping it together.

I would love to support you and help you feel like you are not alone and that your needs matter.

What Will Therapy for Pregnant and Postpartum Moms & Couples Look Like?

I know and understand that as a pregnant mom or postpartum parent, life gets extremely busy and hard to predict. Between the many doctor’s appointments in pregnancy and the unpredictability of having a baby, I know that adding therapy to the schedule can be hard. That is why I offer both walk-and-talk therapy in person and virtual appointments. Baby is also welcome to be a part of sessions if that is what you wish, or you can use the time for yourself. A lot of moms find walk-and-talk therapy to be very beneficial for their mental health.

In our first sessions together, I want to learn all about you. This will include me listening to your story as well as asking questions. I will also include some screening questionnaires to help me get the full picture and ensure your safety and well-being.

Overall, I offer empathy, understanding, and support. I know that this time can be extremely hard for some parents, and I want to offer a space to process this transition and help you find joy in parenting.

Common Questions about Therapy for Pregnancy & Postpartum

  • Absolutely. I know that parenthood can be unpredictable. I am flexible in switching between virtual and in-person, depending on your needs.

  • Walk-and-talk therapy means that we meet on a trail out in the community and walk for our session. This is a great way for moms to get time outdoors and enjoy some light exercise. I meet in one of two locations in Livermore for walk-and-talk.
