A young woman with blonde hair, wearing a pink sweater with ruffle details and a bow, blue jeans, and white sneakers, leaning against a plain white wall and smiling at the camera.

Motherhood is beautiful and overwhelming and terrifying and wonderful and a lot (sometimes all within the same hour).

The chaos is real. The love is real. The exhaustion is real.

And the fact that you can hold all of those things at once and still show up every day is nothing short of remarkable. But it’s also not sustainable without support.

Let’s get one thing straight… taking care
of you is taking care of them.‍ ‍K?

You’re the snack-getter, the schedule-keeper, the emotional anchor, the one who knows their I’m-having-big-feelings cry from their I’m-hurt cry, the one who holds it all together even when you’re thiiiiis close to falling apart.

And somewhere along the way, "taking care of yourself" became the thing you'd get to eventually. Someday. When things calm down.

(They're not going to calm down. You know this.)

A woman with shoulder-length wavy blonde hair, smiling and looking at the camera, is wearing a pink sweater with a ruffled collar and bow, tucked into high-waisted blue jeans, with one knee bent and foot resting on the other leg, against a pink background.

I’m no stranger to the anxious-high-achieving-mom life, but after years of working with other moms too, I need every mother to understand this:

Motherhood martyrdom is not a personality trait we should be celebrating.

It's actually something we should probably talk about in session... and it's definitely not what makes you a good mom.

What does is being the regulated, supported, human version of yourself, who has a safe space to fall apart, figure things out, and come back to her family fuller.

A person with light-colored nails, wearing a light pink jacket, is holding a paperback book titled "In My Motherhood Era" over a stack of several other books on a white surface. The stack includes a blue book titled "The Body Keeps the Score" and other books with colorful covers.

This isn’t Talk Therapy.
It’s real talk therapy.
Mom to Mom.

Hi, I’m Gina — postpartum anxiety and I know each other intimately.

NOT IN A “I READ ABOUT IT IN GRAD SCHOOL” WAY

Young woman with blonde hair smiling while leaning against a white wall, wearing a pink sweater, blue jeans, and white sneakers, holding a folder.
A woman with wavy blonde hair, wearing a black top and blue jeans, sitting on a tan leather armchair with her legs crossed. She is writing in a notebook with a pen, and her left hand is holding a smartphone. She is wearing black high heel shoes with red soles.
A woman sitting on an orange leather armchair, smiling and resting her chin on her hands, with a laptop, tablet, and smartphone on the floor in front of her, set against a plain white background.

In the "I delivered my twin girls at 33 weeks after pre-term labor, an emergency c-section, pre-eclampsia, and then spent weeks in the NICU trying to recover while also learning how to be a mom to two babies I couldn't even bring home yet” way.

I was an anxious high-achiever long before I became a mom. And when the delivery didn't go the way I'd planned, the NICU became our world, and the feelings of failure started creeping in, I couldn't find the support I needed. Someone that said you are not alone in a way that I actually believed. So I became her.

Now, I'm a licensed therapist and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C) for moms in California and Utah. I opened my practice because moms deserve space for real talk and support for real relief. An actual human in their corner who understands the clinical side and the lived reality. The mental load. The overwhelm. The guilt. The mom rage. The striving for perfection. The identity loss nobody prepares you for.

I'm not just a therapist. I'm a partner in the mess. And I promise there is nothing you're feeling that will surprise or scare me.

(Sarcasm is welcome. Crying is welcome. And showing up in
yesterday’s dry shampoo is absolutely welcome.)

Get to know me

THIS IS THERAPY THAT UNDERSTANDS WHAT SEASON YOU’RE IN

Here's the thing about seeing a generalist therapist when you're postpartum: you end up spending half your session giving context.

What a NICU stay actually feels like. Why mom rage is different from regular anger. Why you logically know you're a good mom and yet you’re still completely consumed by the feeling that you're not.

When you work with me, you don't have to convince me it's hard. I already know.

I'm a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional, but I’m also a mom. So I understand the hormonal shifts, the nervous system changes, the identity upheaval, the relationship strain, and the specific way postpartum anxiety and depression show up in high-functioning women who look completely fine from the outside.

Yes, I accept insurance!

I accept Optum, Aetna, BCBS of Massachusetts, Carelon, Quest, and Regence BCBS of Utah. Private pay is $225 per session, and I can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.

Not sure if your insurance is covered? Reach out and we'll figure it out together.

The no filter postpartum blog

(Because the algorithm keeps serving you highlight reels when what you actually need is the truth.)

A woman with blonde hair styled in loose waves, wearing a pink long-sleeved sweater with ruffle details around the neckline, and blue jeans with a black belt. She is smiling and looking at the camera against a pink background.

Somewhere between who you were before
and who you're becoming, you got a little lost.

And that makes sense. You just went through one of the most enormous, identity-reshaping, nervous-system-wrecking transitions a human can go through. And if this isn’t your first baby, you did it while keeping everyone else alive and fed and loved.

The version of you that exists on the other side of this isn't a "better mom" or a more patient person or someone who has it all figured out. She's you with support.

That's what we're working toward. Not perfection. A version of you that’s regulated and feeling like yourself again in the middle of the most beautiful, overwhelming, wouldn't-trade-it-for-the-world chaos of your life.
