Hey, I’m Alexa

Therapist For Moms Through Pregnancy, Postpartum + Beyond ✨

✨ For the past 10+ years, I’ve supported pregnant + postpartum women as they navigate the identity shifts, challenges + intense expectations that come with modern motherhood.

✨ As a mom of two, wife, + therapist — I’ve learned (the hard way) that you can’t keep pouring from an empty cup + just hope things will get better on their own; because nothing changes if nothing changes.

✨ In therapy, we’ll explore what you need to care for yourself, manage the pressure + expectations from your family (and in laws) + work through challenging relationship changes with your partner.

✨ This is your space where you don’t have to pretend everything’s fine. You get to be real — messy, tired, + human — and still fully embraced + supported.

  • ✨ Process the pressure of balancing your own needs + while also caring for your family.

  • ✨ Work through the relationship changes + resentment so you can start feeling more connected to your partner again.

  • ✨ Untangle family dynamics + generational cycles that are showing up hard right now.

  • ✨ Set boundaries that protect your peace — without drowning in guilt.

Therapy For The Parts of Motherhood An Iced Triple Espresso Can’t Fix. ☕

I see you Mama ✨

  • 👉 You feel guilty about the way you are showing up for your child, your partner, and yourself but you don’t know how to get out of the toxic cycle.
    👉 Postpartum hits and your “me time” is crying in the bathroom while scrolling Instagram, where every mom is a CEO with perfect hair, perfect kids, and somehow managed to whip up an “effortless” quinoa salad for lunch. Meanwhile, you're inhaling cold mac n' cheese over the sink + feeling like a failure.
    👉 You love your baby, but holy shit, you didn’t sign up to lose your entire identity in the process. One more toddler tantrum and you’re gonna scream into your cold cup of coffee, yell at your toddler, fight with your partner, then feel guilty about it for the rest of the day.

  • 👉 Finally tackling the chronic anxiety, exhaustion, and burnout causing intense feelings of guilt, overwhelm and shame so you can finally show up for yourself and connect with your family in a way that feels aligned for you.
    👉 Reconnecting with your partner (even when they feel like your annoying roommate who eats all your food, complains about how tired they are, and creates more work for you.)

  • 👉 Imagine waking up without the guilt hangover from wanting your old life back. Instead, you’re confidently owning your choices—whether that’s daycare/staying home, nursing/formula, adjusting to life as a stay at home parent or looking forward to going back to work. 

    👉 I’m here to support you while you make decisions that are best for you, your mental health, your values and your family.

Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Motherhood are hyper-focused on the baby - here the focus is on Caring for You.
