Therapy for Pregnancy & Postpartum
Pregnancy and postpartum can bring overwhelming emotions, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and uncertainty.
I provide pregnancy and postpartum therapy in Livermore and Pleasanton for individuals and couples navigating fertility concerns, pregnancy, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth trauma, and the transition to parenthood. Virtual therapy is available throughout California.
Individual Therapy

Pregnancy and postpartum bring a wide range of emotions, expectations, and decisions. It can be so hard to handle all the unknowns that pregnancy comes with, and to navigate the pressure of trying to do your best for your baby. Having someone to talk about these things can make a meaningful difference. 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 help provide the guidance and validation that 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 telehealth to residents of CA.
I offer therapy services to moms who are past the postpartum stage but struggling with the ongoing challenges of parenting and relationships.
The struggles of parenting go beyond the first two years after a baby is born. Demands are constantly shifting, and your role as a parent changes as well.
If you’re feeling stretched thin by the emotional demands of motherhood and being a spouse, I can provide the support you need to find balance and calm in your home.
Couples Therapy

Pregnancy and postpartum bring on many changes for the relationship.
You and your partner may find yourselves navigating new challenges, including how to communicate, differences in parenting, changes in intimacy, or the emotional impact of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. These experiences are common, but they can still feel overwhelming and isolating for a couple.
Couples therapy offers a supportive space to improve communication, deepen understanding, and help you feel more like a team moving forward.
What Will Therapy for Pregnant and Postpartum Moms & Couples Look Like?
I take a whole-family approach to perinatal mental health. That means that I hope to include all parts of the family system in our work together.
I also 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.
