I'm a perinatal therapist (PMH-C, AMFT #136430), supervised by Kitlin Soule LMFT # 93947 and I can't tell you how many times I've sat in a session with a new mom as they cried, "this wasn't what I expected". The truth is: I know how that feels. My experience in each step of motherhood, from infertility and loss to pregnancy, postpartum, and toddlerhood, was not what I expected.
I'm Kylie. I'm a therapist for new moms and parents.
hey there!
Often times, early parenthood is when we ask big questions like: "how much space can I take up in our family?", "how do I manage triggers from my own childhood and family of origin?", and "will my partner and I ever adjust to this new norm?". Perinatal therapy is a safe place for new moms and parents to process all the changes to their life, relationships, time, career, and body, that come with a baby.
I love being a mom: I think parenthood is a gift. But too many of us have been in survival mode for too long, and parenthood is the tipping point where we realize we need help.
What I want new moms to know more than anything is this: It will not always feel this hard. We can leverage evidence-based tools to help you feel like yourself again.
"I'm so fortunate to have met Kylie through my transition from being a working mom to becoming a stay-at-home parent.
Kylie is an incredibly empathetic listener. She is especially patient, understanding, and asks thoughtful questions that helped me reflect on my struggles in ways that I have never been able to do on my own.
She is someone whom you'd immediately feel comfortable with. I never felt judged in any way during my time with her as my therapist and felt very encouraged after every session. I truly appreciate the opportunity to have met her. She has my highest recommendation!

"Before meeting Kylie I spoke with 2 different therapists that were not a match.
Then after my first session with Kylie I knew she was exactly who I needed. She truly is as amazing as the other reviews say. She is a great listener with great advice & tools to get you through the tough times.
I'm so grateful to have had her in my corner through the hardest season of my life.
Thank you for being so understanding, gentle, and for all your encouragement!."

"If you are looking for a place to feel safe, to feel seen, to work through hard things, and find peace in choppy seasons of life, I would recommend Kylie.
Her heart and passion for sitting with you, listening and gently guiding creates such a welcoming environment. She has helped me learn to thrive even during really hard times.
Don't be fooled, it is hard work, exposing work, but worth it work. She sees you, cares for you and wants the best for you. I am grateful to have the opportunity to learn from her and I would recommend her to any of my friends and family!"
