Therapy for New Parents Who Feel Like They’re Holding It All Together (Barely)
Perinatal Therapy | PMH-C Certified | Online in MA, NH & CT
This wasn’t how you thought it would feel.
You knew parenthood would be hard—but you didn’t expect to feel so anxious, overstimulated, or disconnected from yourself. Some days you’re holding back tears. Other days, you’re snapping at people you love. And sometimes you just shut down completely.
You’ve read the blogs. You’ve scrolled through Instagram. You’ve done everything you can to figure this out. But the truth is: you're still struggling.
And now, it’s starting to touch every part of your life.
Sound familiar?
You feel alone, irritable, or misunderstood—even when people are trying to help
The pressure to get everything “right” (feeding, sleep, parenting, work) feels relentless
You overthink every decision and compare yourself to how others parent
You feel guilty for wanting time for yourself—or even just space to breathe
It’s hard to communicate your needs without fear, frustration, or shutdown
You don’t have to keep doing this alone.
As a certified perinatal mental health therapist (PMH-C), I specialize in helping new parents navigate the emotional load that comes with this season of life.
This is more than just a rough patch—it’s a time of intense identity change, emotional upheaval, and pressure. Therapy can help you feel more grounded, connected, and supported.
As a Mom of 3, I Get It
We’ll start by creating a space that’s just for you. No judgment. No impossible standards.
Therapy Can Help You:
✔️ Calm anxiety and regulate overwhelming emotions
✔️ Speak your needs with more clarity—and less guilt
✔️ Reconnect with your identity beyond the parent role
✔️ Let go of the pressure to be perfect and do it all
✔️ Feel supported, understood, and less alone
Together, we’ll:
Build strategies to soothe anxiety and support your nervous system in real-time
Understand what’s triggering these feelings and how to care for yourself in the moment
Untangle the pressure to be everything to everyone—and replace it with more realistic, supportive expectations
Strengthen your relationship with yourself and with those around you
You’ll start feeling more steady in who you are, what you need, and how to ask for it—without shame.
It’s okay to make space for your needs. In fact, it’s essential.
You deserve support that’s made for this season—not just “tips” or quick fixes.
If you're ready to feel more like yourself again, I’m here.
