Postpartum Therapy for New, Expectant and Seasoned Mothers in Denver, Colorado
Helping women tackle self-doubt, identity 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.
Hi, I’m Victoria!
I’m a perinatal therapist who helps anxious, people-pleasing moms and moms-to-be stop overthinking and learn how to put their needs first.
Imagine a reality where you felt confident in yourself as a mom.
Your go-to response is no longer second-guessing every decision you make. You are no longer crippled with guilt every time you attend to your own needs. You feel equipped with practical tools to manage your emotions, and you are no longer beholden to the limiting beliefs and patterns that have plagued you throughout your life. I can help you get there.
Therapy with me is a safe place to slow down, take a breath and allow your whole self to come to the table - even the parts you keep hidden from everyone else. Together, we’ll get to the root of the patterns that keep you feeling stuck, while also helping you build practical tools to create meaningful change in your life. I have helped so many women heal from fear and self-doubt to find confidence, connection and trust within themselves.
I’m a certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C), therapist of over 13 years, and fellow mom to two young kids. I treat women struggling with postpartum anxiety and depression, identity and role adjustments in parenthood, and mental health challenges related to pregnancy, birth trauma, infertility and miscarriage. I also specialize in treating high-achieving women looking to break free from people-pleasing and perfectionism, as well as women with ADHD.
I want to help you really, for once create a space in your life that’s just for you.
