Honoring the Complex, Tender, and Transformative Experience of Motherhood

Motherhood can be joyful and fulfilling — but it can also feel overwhelming, identity-shifting, and emotionally complex. I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to process your experiences, whether you’re facing postpartum anxiety, depression, grief, or the growing pains of a changing identity.

Common postpartum symptoms include:

• Feeling overwhelmed and wondering if you should have become a mother in the first place
• Feeling guilty due to high self-expectations
• Not feeling “bonded” with the baby
• Your thoughts are racing and you can’t quiet your mind
• Feeling empty and numb, as if you’re just going through the motions
• Lack of focus and concentration
• Being afraid that if you reach out for help, others will judge your inabilities
• Thoughts of running away or leaving your baby behind
• Being constantly in a state of worry

If any of this resonates, reaching out for support can make a difference.

My Approach

I work from a systemic, strengths-based perspective, seeing you in the context of your relationships, culture, and identity. Using evidence-based practices informed by perinatal mental health research and training through Postpartum Support International (PSI), I support mothers in navigating hormone changes, personal history, and social support challenges.

Together, we’ll explore your experience in a space that’s free of judgment — and full of care, curiosity, and compassion. Contact The Ridge today to begin your journey.
