Postpartum Therapy for New, Expectant and Seasoned Mothers in Denver, Colorado
Helping women tackle self-doubt, identify and fear in motherhood.
On the outside, you are a high-achieving woman or devoted mom - the person everyone can count on.
But on the inside, you:
You feel constantly exhausted from second-guessing, overthinking and people-pleasing.
Feel guilty or selfish when you sacrifice time with your baby to do something for yourself.
Are bogged down with feelings of dread, doom or never-ending worries, when all you want is to be present.
You feel totally out of balance, and confused about your identity since becoming a mom.
Maybe you’re still emotionally healing from a birth that didn’t go as expected - and wondering how you’ll ever feel ready to have another kid.
Some days it feels like you’re on an emotional rollercoaster - one minute you’re consumed with intense love for your baby, and the next you’re crying in the kitchen, feeling totally overstimulated and overwhelmed.
You struggle to turn your brain “off” at the end of the day, laying awake at night with racing thoughts of all you need to do (or all the reasons everything is terrible).
Asking for help doesn’t feel like an option - you don’t want to burden anyone, and besides, you should be able to handle it all on your own.
Maybe the pressure to do everything “right” feels so paralyzing, that sometimes you struggle to do anything at all.
And you’re completely burnt out from being everything for everyone else all the time, and at the end of the day having nothing left for yourself.
That critical voice in your head chants all day long:
I should answer that message.
I should clean up the kitchen.
I should be more patient with my family.
I should stop being so sensitive.
I should be more grateful.
I should be able to handle it on my own.
With each “should” you feel a little more defeated, a little bit smaller.
Dealing with people-pleasing, anxiety, perfectionism and self-doubt is incredibly challenging.
It doesn’t have to be like this.
Counseling for women and moms in Denver can help.
Hi, I’m Victoria.
I’m a therapist who helps high-achieving, anxious, people-pleasing women and new moms stop overthinking and learn how to put their needs first.
I’ve been where you are, and I know how hard it can be to feel trapped in never-ending anxious thought patterns and controlled by limiting beliefs. I have helped so many mothers and women with ADHD heal from anxiety, people-pleasing and perfectionism to find confidence and self-love (I see you, ADHD moms!). I’m a certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) and also specialize in treating postpartum anxiety, depression and mental health challenges related to pregnancy, infertility and miscarriage.
This is my passion because I have seen the other side.
I know how the self-awareness and sensitivity that anxious women possess allow us to be most thoughtful friends, supportive partners and dependable colleagues.
I will help you learn how to:
Embrace your many strengths,
Safely explore your fears, and
Treat yourself with the same care, confidence and compassion you show to everyone else in your life.
I want to help you really, for once create a space in your life that’s just for you.

You are not alone, and it’s not your fault you feel so anxious and unworthy. Women in today’s world face so many pressures to wear every hat, do it all, and it is impossible to meet these standards. Living your whole life with symptoms of ADHD can make you feel even more inadequate, like you’re “behind” or don’t measure up. But healing is possible. You deserve to live a life that is meaningful, fulfilling, and connected to others. Take anxiety, self-doubt and perfectionism out of the driver’s seat.
You are enough.
It may feel like feeling overwhelmed, scattered and burnt-out is just a way of life. It doesn’t have to be.
You can feel less resentful and more gratified in your relationships. You can let go of the inner critic and find a sense of inner peace.
If you are ready to invest in yourself, please reach out today. I am here to walk with you on your journey to self-love and empowerment. I can’t wait to accompany you.
