Pregnancy and postpartum can bring profound emotional shifts through joy, fear, grief, overwhelm, and everything in between. Even though this season is often celebrated, it doesn’t always feel celebratory. Many people experience PMADs (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders), including anxiety during pregnancy, postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression as they undergo this major life transition and identity shift, which can often feel foreign and isolating.

As a perinatal therapist, I support individuals through the complexities of pregnancy, birth, the fourth trimester, and early parenthood. We’ll explore the emotional, relational, and identity challenges that arise as your body, mind, and priorities shift. For Asian American and BIPOC parents, there may also be cultural expectations, intergenerational narratives, and family pressures that add another layer to an already tender time.

In therapy, we make space for all you’ve been holding onto silently - whether it’s grieving the life you had, struggling to bond with your newborn, adjusting to new roles in parenthood, or rebuilding your sense of self beyond a parent. Together, we’ll work through the emotional weight, develop coping strategies, and help you feel more grounded and supported as you navigate this new chapter.

You are not alone.
