California Perinatal Therapy
Postpartum & Pregnancy Therapy For New Moms
The truth is, I know how that feels. Every step of motherhood from infertility and loss, to pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting, challenges our expectations as often as it fulfills them. It's a disorienting time where the drastic changes in our identity, relationships, and sense of self prompt important questions like:
I'm a perinatal therapist (LMFT #151283, PHM-C). Each week, I sit with new, expecting, and future moms in therapy and listen as they tell me,
"this isn't what I expected".
I'm Kylie.
hello, friend!
Perinatal therapy is a safe place for you to process the changes to your life, relationships, time, body and career that come with a baby. My clients often start therapy wondering if they will ever feel like themselves again, and by end, they've settled into a new normal that feels good - inside and out.
- is it possible to feel like me, while caring for them?
- how do I want and need work to look, now that I'm a mom?
- how can I learn to trust myself, when the internet is full of opinions on the "right" way to do things?
- where can I let go of control? and how?
- will my partner and I ever get out of this roommate phase?
- how can I enjoy my extended family and friends while building a new family of my own?
"For me, the worst part of being a first time mom was the feeling that no one understood. My husband, who I love, suddenly just didn't get what I was going through.
It didn't feel like depression, but I wasn't enjoying postpartum, or parenting in the way I had hoped. Kylie helped me pause, ask important questions, and tell people around me what I needed. I didn't feel like the pre-baby version of me, but therapy helped me find and enjoy the new version of me.

"Before meeting Kylie, I spoke with 2 different therapists that were not a match. After my first session with Kylie, I knew she was exactly who I needed... I'm so grateful to have had her in my corner through the hardest season of my life."

"My first session with Kylie was my first therapy, ever. I was SO nervous and had no idea what to expect, but I was desperate for help after a traumatic birth experience that no one seemed to understand. My time with Kylie was healing, validating, and comforting. I got the support I needed and finally felt comfortable having a second child.

I love being a mom. I think parenthood is a gift. But many new moms have been in survival mode for too long, and postpartum is the tipping point where you realize you
