perinatal and postpartum counselor
nice to meet you, i’m sarah.
in my practice, i focus on helping women reclaim their identity and mental health after becoming parents.
whether my clients seek out therapy during pregnancy, postpartum, or even many years into motherhood, the same concerns continue to come up. they are worried about their responsibilities, both within their roles as parents and as people seeking purpose and fulfillment. they have endured an amazing, dramatic, and often traumatic shift in their physical, mental, and emotional worlds and need help navigating this space—but too often, these women feel a sense of failure for not making it all work.
before they came to see me, they felt shame for wanting more. after all, some people desperately want what they have. they worried about being judged for focusing on their own needs. they were operating as a shell of themselves and at their core, suffering for it. guilt gets in the way of the life they want in so many ways and their confidence in themselves is tanking.
like my clients, you deserve to put yourself first without worrying about failing your children. feeling worthy and fulfilled is not out of your reach. i’m here to empower my clients with the skills, resources, and support to ensure they can invest in themselves the way they are already investing in their families. this is a practice without judgement, rooted in loving, honest partnership to get you closer to a more balanced life.
who i help
therapy for new moms
like the good student you are, you read all the books, followed the postpartum accounts, and attended the birthing class. you felt prepared, and in many ways you were, but motherhood still hit you like a ton of bricks. you need safety and support to process who you are in this new phase of life.
therapy for maxed-out moms
you edit yourself so much throughout the day to tend to the needs of others that you’re not sure there’s anything left of you. despite all you give, you worry about how you are showing up for your loved ones. you want to feel more grounded and confident navigating the turbulence of parenting while making space for yourself.
