May is Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month

and no postpartum anxiety isn’t just “new mom nerves.”
it isn’t something to brush off as
“every mom goes through it.”

it’s laying in bed exhausted
but your mind won’t shut off

it’s checking their breathing
over and over again

it’s your heart racing
over things that haven’t even happened

it’s the intrusive thoughts
the ones that don’t feel like you
that scare you the second they show up

it’s feeling like you have to be “on”
every second
because what if something goes wrong
the one time you relax

it’s loving your baby so deeply
that it turns into fear
of anything ever taking them from you

and the hardest part?
you look “fine” on the outside

but inside
your mind is loud
tired
and running nonstop

this isn’t just “part of being a mom”

this is something real
something heavy
and something that deserves support
not silence

you’re not dramatic for feeling it
and you don’t have to carry it alone

A lot of people wait until things feel unmanageable before reaching out for support. 🤍

Therapy isn’t only for crises — it can also be a space to process, reflect, and build tools before things reach that point.

Support can start earlier than you think. ✨

My story featured by PSI last month ❤️

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month — a time to honor the babies we carry in our hearts and the parents who continue to shine through unimaginable loss. 💗

✨ Healing after loss takes time — and courage.

Corey’s journey through miscarriage, neonatal loss, and trauma reminds us that grief and hope can coexist.

💬 “I wouldn’t choose this path, but I am determined to give my experience meaning.”

If you or someone you know is grieving a loss, you’re not alone. 💛

I am no longer affiliated with my former clinic. If you have questions, please reach out!

If you wouldn’t say it to your best friend, child, parent, etc., don’t say it to yourself. One of the most common exercises I use with clients is when I have them swap roles. I have them imagine the person closest to them is in their exact situation. I then ask them to tell me the words they would say to the person they imagined. I have yet to have a client who was as kind to themselves as they were when telling me exactly what they would say to their loved one. My follow up question is always, “if that advice/validation/support is good enough for your friend, why is it not what you tell yourself?”
Sometimes our inner voice can be detrimental. If you have an inner voice that is negative, critical, or mean, it might be time to do some work on making a change. You deserve better than to be your own worst enemy.

I meet so many people through my practice who struggle with this concept. The response “no” is not bad, wrong, mean, etc. It’s a word. It is simply response to a question or a request. It doesn’t require an explanation unless YOU are comfortable with providing that follow up. We allow ourselves to respond with “yes” so easily without any explanations, but we don’t allow the same when the answer is “no.” If saying no is something you struggle with, maybe there is a need to reflect on why that struggle is there and how that thought process developed for you.

I have been terrible at maintaining my professional page with all the craziness of the last few months, but I plan to do better in 2025! 🤣🤞🏻
