Therapy for moms.
I work with women who experience feelings of overwhelm due to self-doubt and the multitude of tasks on their agenda. These individuals often exhibit self-critical tendencies when facing mistakes but aspire to release this mindset to become the supportive partner, friend, and colleague they desire to be. I find great joy in assisting these women, as they are compassionate, perceptive, and driven, approaching therapy with a similar dedication. If you resonate with this description, I am eager to connect with you!
What’s included
Navigating pregnancy often differs from the idealized portrayals seen in movies. Despite the well-intentioned advice from loved ones, unexpected challenges and emotions can arise.
If you're quietly grappling with uncertainties about motherhood and feeling anxious about your pregnancy, rest assured, you're not alone.
Do you doubt your capabilities as a mother? Are worries about your well-being and your baby's future overwhelming you?
Whether you're dealing with persistent anxiety, numbness, frustration, or processing a pregnancy loss or a difficult diagnosis, support is within reach.
As a licensed therapist based in NYC, I specialize in online therapy for expectant mothers throughout New York and Connecticut. I am uniquely trained to address anxiety, depression, pregnancy after loss, trauma recovery, and other mental health issues that may emerge during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
You don't have to navigate this journey by yourself—I'm here to help you untangle the complexities, uncover the roots of your concerns, and equip you with valuable coping strategies for pregnancy and the transition into motherhood.

Signs you might benefit from therapy:
You feel the endless pressure of motherhood, with the weight of your family's needs on your shoulders.
Resentment builds as you handle all tasks alone, day in and day out.
You and your partner seem more like roommates lately, constantly negotiating responsibilities like changing diapers, handling bedtime, and managing household chores.
Feelings of sadness, depression, disconnection, and loneliness persist.
You feel stuck in your current situation and yearn for a change.
Recognizing that the current situation is unsustainable, you acknowledge that something must change, and as the leader of your family, that change begins with you.
What should I anticipate from therapy?
In online therapy designed for mothers, we will:
Explore the expectations and aspirations you had for motherhood, assess your current reality, and devise a plan to steer you towards the fulfilling life you desire.
Rediscover your individual identity, separate from your role as a mother.
Establish healthy boundaries regarding your time allocation, whether it's with family, at work, or within your relationships.
Recognize any detrimental thought patterns and equip you with tools to reframe and release them.
Facilitate the experience of joy and enhance bonding with your baby as you envisioned.
Foster healthy coping mechanisms, aiding in self-prioritization, trigger identification, and emotional regulation.
Strive for a balanced approach to managing your various responsibilities, alleviating the pressures often felt by mothers.
What can you anticipate gaining from therapy as a pregnant or expecting mother?
By choosing to invest in yourself (because, yes, you absolutely deserve it), you'll not only receive guidance from a trained professional to develop effective strategies for meaningful change but also connect with someone who, as a fellow mom, understands the struggles you may face and the urge to hide them from the world.
You can rely on me to walk beside you during difficult times, offering support, empathy, and validation while providing insights to help you see life from a different perspective.
Currently, everything may feel challenging, but that's okay—I'm here to assist. Things don't have to remain this way. My online therapy practice, is designed with your needs in mind.
You might be feeling constantly overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, or depressed. Perhaps the baby isn't here yet, and you question if you can handle it all. You may have envisioned a glowing experience while preparing the baby's nursery, only to feel guilty because bonding with your baby isn't happening as expected. Wherever you are on this journey, I understand, and I'm here to support you.
