As a clinician, I have seen how many mothers carry the invisible weight of postpartum without the language, tools, or support they truly need. I have wrestled with the tension between pushing therapeutic models that obviously do not work for busy moms, while recognizing that they need more support. I have resisted upholding punitive policies that contribute to stress and shame, while recognizing that structure and boundaries are needed to maintain therapeutic progress. I have seen women go without any support simply because the mental health industry has not prioritized solutions that would actually meet moms where they are at. This problem is not new and it is disheartening that the maternal mental health crisis is worsening, despite the advancement of tools and resources in every other aspect of our culture. It is not the responsibility of moms, alone, to solve this problem. I would argue that moms have enough on their plate. It is my intention to create a container for moms to safely learn, be present, and heal.
My work is rooted in compassion, evidence-based care, and the belief that just because things have always been this way doesnt mean that it is correct or that it has to continue. You deserve support that feels practical, grounding, and deeply human.
This space was built to help you feel seen, understood, and empowered as you navigate postpartum with more clarity, connection, and care.
If any part of this page made you feel seen, I want you to know that was intentional. You are powerful beyond measure and struggling through this phase of your life does not change that. So many women move through postpartum believing they should be able to handle it all, especially when they have spent their lives being capable, dependable, and strong.
The Momma Collective is a clinician-led educational and supportive postpartum program. It offers guidance, tools, community, and encouragement, but it is not a substitute for individualized therapy, medical care, crisis services, or emergency mental health support.
If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, thoughts of harming yourself or someone else, or need immediate medical or psychiatric care, please call 911, go to your nearest emergency room, or contact a local crisis resource right away.
If you need one-on-one therapeutic support, please seek care from a licensed mental health professional in your area.
