I provide virtual perinatal therapy for women in New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into motherhood.

This stage can bring a level of emotional intensity, mental load, and identity shift that isn’t always expected—or talked about openly.

Even when things are “going well,” it can still feel overwhelming, disorienting, or difficult to fully settle.

This Might Feel Familiar

Perinatal mental health often shows up in ways that are easy to overlook or minimize.

You may notice:

• your mind feels constantly active or hard to quiet

• you feel more anxious, on edge, or mentally overloaded

• you question yourself more than you used to

• you feel pressure to handle everything without struggling

• you feel disconnected from yourself or unsure of who you are now

• you’re adjusting to a version of life that feels unfamiliar

This isn’t just about stress—it’s about navigating a significant internal shift.

What This Work Focuses On

Rather than just managing symptoms, we focus on understanding how this stage is impacting you—and what’s underneath what you’re experiencing.

This may include:

• the mental and emotional load of pregnancy or postpartum

• anxiety, overthinking, or difficulty slowing down

• identity changes and shifts in how you see yourself

• expectations around motherhood and the pressure to “get it right”

• unresolved or overwhelming experiences related to pregnancy or birth

The goal is not to “handle it better,” but to feel more steady, clear, and connected to yourself within this stage of life.

Where EMDR Can Help

For some women, specific experiences—such as birth or medical stress—continue to feel unresolved.

EMDR therapy can help process these experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity or continue to affect how you feel day-to-day.

This allows us to move beyond understanding into actually shifting how these experiences are held in your system.

What Makes This Different

This isn’t a space where you’re expected to have it all together.

It’s a space to slow down and make sense of what this stage is actually like for you—without minimizing it or pushing through it.

Many women come into this work used to managing everything on their own. Here, we focus on creating a more grounded and sustainable way of moving through this phase of life.
