Mother's Day can bring lots of sweet things and it can also be an opportunity for resentment to grow if we don't ask for what we need. If this season is a time where you need a couple hours of sleep or alone time that's perfectly okay but you have to be specific and tell your partner what you need from them!

Motherhood is beautiful and wonderful and hard and amazing all at the same time. It's okay to ask for a break or to be taken care of for the day!

Be kind to yourself mama you are doing a lot better than you think you are!

Mama, have you ever felt like a bad mom for struggling? If so, comment below what that looked like for you.

I became a postpartum therapist because postpartum depression almost broke me.

Infertility, traumatic birth, PPD, PPA, PTSD.

No sleep. No milk. Then covid hit. Everyone disappeared.

I was lost. I was desperate, and I was suffering because I thought I was supposed to be able to handle it all.

Then my therapist asked me one question that changed everything. " If you had diabetes, would you tell yourself to just try harder without medication?"

I started treatment, I stayed in therapy, and I found my way back to myself.

In 2022 I took the leap and I haven't looked back since.

If any part of my story sounds like yours you are not broken. You are not a bad mom. You do not have to keep doing this alone.

I am 1 in 5.

I know what it's like to suffer through postpartum depression, I know what it's like to experience a traumatic birth. I know what it's like to not be able to sleep when your baby is sleeping or being cared for by somebody else because your anxiety won't let your brain stop. And I'm on the other side of it now. I've done the healing. I got the support I needed during the most crucial time. Now I get to support Mama's just like you. I get to walk this journey to healing with you. I love what I do and I'm so grateful to be able to do this work.

Today is World Maternal Health Day.

Mama, if you have been struggling to find the support that you need look no further. I work with Mama's everyday who feel lost in motherhood, feel alone in this journey. One thing that continues to be true in many circumstances is that partners want to be helpful but don't know how to meet our needs or how to take things off of our plate. This is where therapy comes in real handy. If you're ready to begin, shifting the Dynamics and getting the support that you need not just in therapy but also at home, DM me for more information.

Today May 3rd is Bereaved Mother's Day.

It's a day to remember your babies that never made it earth side, it's a day to give space for grief, it's a day to be kind to yourself and those around you who may also have losses.

Grief is no linear. It comes in waves and it can feel overwhelming sometimes. It can feel cruel that the world doesn't stop because you are grieving the loss of a child.

It's estimated that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage or loss. It's very likely that even if you haven't experienced it yourself someone close to you has.

Today is a day to honor the babies who aren't with us today. Give yourself grace and space to grieve.

If you are ready to take the next step in your journey of healing reach out for your free consultation call.

Knowing the signs can save a life. 🕊️

​Postpartum Psychosis often appears suddenly in the first two weeks after birth. Symptoms like hallucinations, delusions, or extreme agitation aren’t "baby blues" they are signs that the brain needs immediate care.

​Awareness is the first step, but action is the second. If you feel like things aren’t right, or if you’re supporting someone who seems "lost," don’t wait.

Please share this post to spread awareness!

​I specialize in supporting families through the complexities of maternal mental health. Let’s talk about a path forward.

​Ready to connect? ​Link in Bio: Schedule your free consultation. ​DM me: Just say "Help" and we can go from there.

Mama, you're not alone. If this resonated with you. Maybe you are experiencing some of the symptoms or maybe all of them. I hope this helps. You understand that what you're experiencing is not something that you have to continue to suffer with. If you want real help, please reach out to me or another therapist. You deserve support postpartum.
