Thriving in Motherhood, PLLC

1 in 5. That's how many new and expecting parents experience a perinatal mental health condition.

And yet we don't hear about this often enough or tell our stories of our experiences as mothers. Lets connect the dots and work to help others who are experiencing these complications in silence.

This organization has done so much for so many mothers, including myself. Please join and bring awareness to the struggles that mamas have throughout their journey and don’t forget to tell them they’re doing a good job!

Something that has weighed heavy on my mind recently, and that I honestly hadn’t thought much of until I was a therapist, what how difficult that the holidays can be for some people.

Whether its from not having a family member for the first time or the 50th time, due to someone having passed away, relationship issues, or heartbreak, holidays can bring people down just as much as they can bring people joy.

Whichever one you are, be mindful of what other people are doing this holiday season. Be kind. Be loving. Be aware that not everyone is cheerful this time of year.

Be okay with those people that are as well. When we can take a step back and can remember we all experience things differently, and not judge someone for how they are expressing their emotions, the world can be a much better place.

So, whether you struggle or find joy in the holidays, let’s be mindful together and meet each other where we are at.

This is such a helpful graphic.

Mamas and Dad's- you're not alone! Perinatal mental health issues are real and can affect both of you!

Reach out for help when you need it. Being a parent is hard. It can be scary at times, but you can learn to enjoy the moments with baby and with each other.

✨ Is it PPD, PPA, or POCD? ✨
Perinatal mental health challenges can look different for every parent. While postpartum depression is more widely recognized, many also experience perinatal anxiety or perinatal OCD—and each one is temporary, treatable, and deserves support. 💙

This OCD Awareness Week, let’s break the stigma and raise awareness about perinatal OCD—marked by intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and hypervigilance—that can feel overwhelming but is treatable with the right help.

You are not alone. Healing is possible. 🌸

💭 Moms — can I ask you something?
Have you ever thought to yourself, “I don’t even know who I am anymore”?

I’ve been hearing this from so many moms lately. We get so focused on our babies or older kids that we sometimes forget that we are our own person too.

If there were a supportive space to help you manage the mental load, feel more like you again, and learn real tools for peace of mind — would you be interested?

Comment ❤️ or “yes” if that sounds like something you’d join.

Some days in motherhood feel like a blur, don’t they? You wake up, get everyone fed, dressed, and out the door. Before you know it, the whole day has passed. Then it’s dinner, baths, bedtime routines—and you’re left wondering where the heck did the day go? What did I do for me? If you’ve e...

I had to share this little excerpt from the book I am reading by Brene Brown called The Gift of Imperfection. I love it because as a therapist, I teach people and encourage them to embrace all of themselves l. Their authentic, vulnerable selves. It’s scary but it can be beautiful too.

How can you embrace your imperfect self today?

How do you all get your kids (and yourself!) prepared for the school year?

I'm curious about what other women have experienced about their own journeys through childbirth and early postpartum.

Did you feel supported? Did you not feel supported? Who helped you through this time? Maybe no one did- I want to hear that too.

What is something that nobody told you about childbirth that you weren't expecting?

Did you have baby at home with a midwife or did you have a baby at the hospital? Natural delivery? C-Section?

I want to hear your experiences!
