High-functioning depression is real, and often missed.
Studies show that nearly 50% of people with depression go undiagnosed, especially when they appear “high achieving” on the outside.

They’re going to work, parenting, checking boxes.

Yet on the inside: Exhausted. Disconnected. Struggling. Screaming.

This is particularly common in women, who are socialized to perform wellness even when they’re drowning.

Mental health isn’t about how productive you are.
It’s about how you feel when no one’s watching.

You’re doing everything for everyone… but when was the last time someone asked how YOU'RE doing?

If you’re running on caffeine, crumbs, and pure survival mode, this is for you. 🫶

I created this Free Burnout Reduction Checklist for moms who are exhausted, overwhelmed, and need a moment to come up for air.

It’s simple, practical, and zero guilt.
No pressure to “do it all” — just small shifts to help you feel a little more like you again.

💛 Hi, I’m Alexa — a San Diego based therapist, mom of two very energetic little boys, and the human behind Therapy for California Moms. 💛

💛 This photo pretty much captures the heart of why I do what I do. These are my babies — the ones who made me a mom, cracked my heart wide open, and also pushed me to the edge of my capacity more times than I can count. (including this morning before 6am)

💛 I started my practice not just because I’m a licensed therapist… but because I am a mom who knows firsthand how isolating, overwhelming, and identity-shattering this season can be. I know how it feels to give everything to your family and still feel like it's never enough.

💛 I know what it’s like to feel so much love and so much resentment at the exact same time. And I also know how powerful it is to feel seen, supported, and reminded that you don’t have to do it all alone.

💛 That’s what I offer through my work — therapy that’s built around you. Your mental health. Your story. Your needs. Because while there’s a whole industry focused on your baby, I’m here for you — the mom behind it all.

💛 If you’re somewhere in the messy middle of motherhood, I hope this page feels like a soft place to land. I’m so glad you’re here.

💛 Offering virtual therapy for moms across California 📍 — because you deserve support that actually fits into your life.

🧡 Feeling touched out, burnt out, and one meltdown away from losing it?
This is for you, mama.

🧡 I created The “I’m Burnt Out AF” Self-Care Checklist for the days when brushing your teeth feels like a major win and the mental load won’t let up.
No pressure. No perfection. Just small, doable ways to support your nervous system and remind yourself that you matter, too.

🧡 Because you don’t need another self-help book or 20-step morning routine.
You need something simple, compassionate, and real.
Something that meets you exactly where you are.

Your baby’s milestones matter—and so does your mental health.⁣ 💛
⁣
Postpartum checkups focus on your baby’s weight, sleep, and development... but what about you? Who’s asking how you’re doing? How you’re really feeling? Because your mental and emotional well-being is just as important—and it's often the part that gets overlooked.⁣
⁣
If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or like you're constantly running on empty, please know this: you're not failing. You're human. And you deserve care, too.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re in the thick of postpartum anxiety, navigating burnout, grieving the loss of your old life, or just trying to survive another day without losing your mind—therapy can help.⁣
⁣
🧠 Virtual therapy for moms in California
🤍 Specializing in postpartum depression, anxiety, and maternal burnout
💬 A space to feel seen, heard, and supported—without judgment or pressure

✨ You don’t have to wait until you’re in crisis to get support. You matter now.
