Pregnancy Therapist Supporting Moms Through Every Stage

Pregnancy Isn’t Always Magical—And That’s Okay

You thought pregnancy would be an exciting time, but instead, you feel overwhelmed with anxiety. Everyone tells you “It’s the most exciting time in your life!” But you feel miserable, you’re uncomfortable, and you don’t understand why people love being pregnant—who are those people, anyway? You’re getting unsolicited advice about everything and constant comments about your changing body, which makes you feel…weird. Maybe this is your first baby, and you can’t stop worrying about labor, delivery, or how you’ll handle the sleepless nights ahead. Or maybe you’ve been pregnant before, and that experience left you shaken—whether it was a miscarriage, a traumatic birth, or unexpected health complications. Now, every symptom makes you question if something is wrong, and you can’t help but imagine the worst. You want to feel excited, but instead, fear keeps creeping in. You wonder, Will I be okay? Will my baby be okay? What if I can’t handle it? What if I’m not cut out to be a mom? You know stress isn’t good for you or the baby, but no one prepared you for how intense this would feel.

When To Seek Support From A Pregnancy Therapist

While everyone experiences pregnancy a little differently, these are common reasons why many decide to start therapy while pregnant:

Anxiety about pregnancy, labor, or becoming a parent
Stress from medical complications in past pregnancy or current
Anxiety due to past miscarriage or stillbirth
Feeling overwhelmed with the amount of decisions that need to be made during pregnancy
Intrusive and scary thoughts while pregnant, causing fear or distress
Mood swings or depression that make it hard to enjoy pregnancy

How therapy can help during pregnancy:

As a pregnancy therapist, I help moms navigate the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy. Therapy provides:

✔ A safe space to talk about your fears and worries

✔ Effective coping strategies for stress and anxiety

✔ Support for processing past pregnancy trauma or loss

✔ Guidance for strengthening your relationship with your baby and partner

Did you know that having a history of anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder puts you at a higher risk for postpartum mood changes? In fact, up to 1 in 5 women experience anxiety or depression during pregnancy or postpartum (Postpartum Support International). Getting support now can make a huge difference—therapy can help you manage stress, build coping skills, and have someone in your corner if things get tough after birth. Why not get ahead of it now, so you already have support in place if you need it later?

I offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help you feel more balanced and confident during pregnancy. My approach includes:

Brainspotting to process fears and past experiences

Get the Support You Deserve

I love working with pregnant moms! I want to hear all about your plans for labor and delivery (if you have them yet), your support system, how you’re feeling, and any fears or anxieties that may be coming up. Pregnancy is such an important time to prepare for postpartum, and starting therapy now gives you the space to process your thoughts and decisions with someone completely unbiased—I’m not your doctor, midwife, partner, or family. Just a supportive, nonjudgmental space for you.
