Compassionate Counseling for Postpartum Depression and Anxiety

Welcome to a place where your mental health matters, especially during the challenging period after childbirth. We understand that postpartum depression and anxiety can bring feelings of sadness, worry, and exhaustion, often when you feel you should be most joyful. But you are not alone, and your feelings are valid.

My counseling services are specifically designed to support individuals experiencing postpartum depression and anxiety. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can express your emotions, receive guidance, and develop effective coping strategies to navigate this difficult time.

How I Help:

  • Individualized Counseling: Tailored to address the unique challenges of postpartum depression and anxiety

  • Supportive Environment: A compassionate, understanding space where you can explore your emotions

  • Evidence-Based Therapies: Proven techniques to help reduce symptoms and promote emotional well-being

  • Resources for Families: Tools and guidance to help your loved ones support you in this journey

You don’t have to face postpartum depression and anxiety alone. With the right support, healing is possible. Reach out today and let me help you find your strength and joy in this new chapter of your life.

Hi, I’m Alex

I’m a therapist, a parent (who sometimes feels “over it”), and someone who’s survived my own challenges. I’ve been fortunate to have others accept me at my lowest AND challenge me to make changes that are good for me and the people around me. I would love to be that person for you.

As your therapist, I aim to help you achieve your goals as quickly as possible without sacrificing the quality of your care. After ensuring I have a good understanding of how I can help, we’ll decide on a course of action together.

Our collaboration will be born from your strengths and determination, my experience and transparency. All your appointments will take place via telehealth. I encourage all clients to have sessions in a spot in their homes in which they feel safe and comfortable.

There is another way.

Let’s get real: whatever you’ve done so far maybe has not worked.

And as cliche as it sounds, “Life is too short” to continue to live
unhappy, overwhelmed, and unfulfilled.

It’s time to prioritize yourself by getting the professional help
you need and deserve.
