Specialized Perinatal Mental Health Support
Motherhood….
Can be beautiful, but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, and heavier than you expected. You may spend hours Googling symptoms, worry constantly about your baby's well-being, replay your birth experience in your mind, or wonder why motherhood feels so much harder than you expected.
Perhaps you’re feeling anxious during pregnancy, struggling to process a difficult birth experience, trying to conceive, or finding the transition into motherhood harder than you expected.
If this season feels harder than you imagined, you deserve a place where you can talk honestly about what you're experiencing without judgment.

A Holistic, Evidence-Based Approach to Perinatal Therapy
Therapy at Bloom considers the whole person—not only your symptoms. Your birth experience, relationships, physical recovery, sleep, feeding journey, support system, identity, and previous experiences can all influence how you feel during pregnancy and postpartum.
My approach combines evidence-based strategies, including cognitive-behavioral interventions and mindfulness, with person-centered, trauma-informed care. Together, we can work toward helping you feel more grounded, understand what you're experiencing, and develop tools that support both your emotional well-being and everyday life.
What is a Perinatal Therapist?
A perinatal therapist specializes in the emotional and mental health needs that can arise throughout the reproductive and motherhood journey. This can include support during pregnancy and postpartum, as well as experiences related to fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, and the transition into motherhood.
These experiences can involve much more than symptoms of anxiety or depression. Hormonal and physical changes, relationships, identity, previous experiences, birth and feeding experiences, sleep, and the expectations you had for motherhood can all influence how you feel.
Therapy with me is collaborative and personalized. Together, we create space to understand what you're experiencing, identify what you need, and develop tools that support your emotional well-being while honoring your individual experiences, values, and choices.
Therapy That Honors Your Experience
You deserve therapy that considers the whole picture—not just a list of symptoms. At Bloom, I understand that pregnancy, birth, postpartum, fertility challenges, and loss can affect your emotional well-being, relationships, identity, and how you experience motherhood.
Our work together is individualized to you. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly about what you're experiencing, better understand your thoughts and emotions, and develop practical tools that support you in everyday life.
My goal isn't to tell you how you should feel or what motherhood should look like. It's to help you feel heard, supported, and more confident in understanding what you need as you move through this season of your life.
Specialized Therapy for Postpartum, Birth Trauma, & Pregnancy Anxiety
The postpartum period can bring unexpected emotions, overwhelming worries, and challenges adjusting to motherhood. Whether you're experiencing postpartum depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or struggling to feel like yourself again, specialized postpartum therapy can help you feel supported and understood.
Pregnancy can bring excitement, but also overwhelming worries, uncertainty, and fears about childbirth. Whether you're experiencing pregnancy anxiety, preparing for birth, or hoping for a more positive birth experience after a difficult delivery, specialized therapy can help you feel more informed, supported, and confident in your choices.
A difficult or traumatic birth can leave you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or struggling to make sense of what happened. Whether your birth involved unexpected interventions, feeling unheard, or a loss of control, birth trauma therapy provides a supportive space to process your experience, rebuild confidence, and move toward emotional healing.
Trying to Conceive? Emotional Support for the Journey
Trying to conceive can bring a mix of hope, uncertainty, and anxiety. Whether you're just beginning your journey, navigating the emotional ups and downs of cycle tracking, or feeling overwhelmed by the waiting, you deserve support along the way.
At Bloom Perinatal Therapy, I offer individualized TTC support sessions to help you manage anxiety, better understand your emotions, and navigate this season with greater confidence. Sessions can be scheduled as needed, without the expectation of weekly therapy.
Convenient, Flexible Therapy for Moms
Bloom Perinatal Therapy offers convenient, secure online counseling for women throughout Missouri, Florida, Arkansas, and Georgia, with limited in-person postpartum therapy available in the Jackson and Cape Girardeau, Missouri area.
Whether you're navigating postpartum anxiety, recovering from a difficult birth, or seeking support during pregnancy, therapy is personalized to your needs and experiences.
My own journey through motherhood shaped both who I am and the way I support women through pregnancy, postpartum, birth trauma, fertility challenges, and loss.
I know motherhood doesn't always unfold the way we imagined it would. Pregnancy, birth, feeding, fertility, loss, and postpartum can bring complicated emotions alongside the joy—and sometimes women need a place where they can talk honestly about all of it.
That's what I want therapy to feel like. A place where you can bring the thoughts and feelings you may not feel comfortable saying anywhere else and know that you'll be met with compassion rather than judgment.
I believe women deserve to feel heard, informed, and involved in their care. My role isn't to tell you what your journey should look like, but to support you as you make sense of what you're experiencing, discover what you need, and find a path forward that feels right for you.
Bloom Perinatal Therapy is based in Southeast Missouri, serving women in Jackson, Cape Girardeau, and surrounding communities, with specialized online perinatal therapy available throughout Missouri, Florida, Arkansas, and Georgia.
