With Holistic Evidence Based Support
Guiding moms in Missouri and Florida through pregnancy and postpartum with informed choice, consent, and compassionate care.
Supporting Moms Through Pregnancy, Birth, and Beyond
Pregnancy and childbirth can be transformative, but sometimes they bring unexpected emotional challenges. At Bloom Perinatal Therapy, I provide therapy for moms experiencing birth trauma, pregnancy-related anxiety, or stress during the prenatal and postpartum period. My approach combines evidence-based practices with holistic care, empowering moms to make informed choices and honor their bodies and experiences.
Every Pregnancy and Birth Story is unique. Therapy can help if you’re experiencing:
Anxiety or fear related to pregnancy, labor, or birth
Emotional distress following a traumatic birth
Trying to emotionally heal from baby experiencing a NICU stay
Feeling pressured or overwhelmed by medical interventions and choices
Desire for evidence-based and holistic birth options
Fear or uncertainty about future pregnancies
Anxiety around birth and postpartum planning
Compassionate, Evidence-Based Therapy for Birth Trauma and Pregnancy
I combine evidence-based therapy with holistic perinatal support, helping moms process birth experiences, reduce anxiety, and reclaim confidence. My approach includes:

Trauma-informed care: For processing birth trauma safely
Mind-body integration: Breathing, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques to support emotional well-being
Person-centered support: Respecting each mom’s unique experiences and values

Postpartum, Pregnancy, Birth Trauma & Infertility Therapy Options
Free Phone Consultation
During a free 15-minute phone consultation, we’ll briefly discuss your concerns, what you’re hoping for support with, and how therapy may help. There’s no pressure—this is simply a chance to connect and see if I’m the right support for you. The consultation also allows time to review scheduling options, fees, and what to expect from therapy.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy offers a supportive space for women and mothers to meet as needed. These sessions provide the opportunity to explore challenges, express your feelings, learn practical coping strategies, and gain insight into your experiences.
All sessions are held online through a HIPAA-compliant platform, allowing you to access care from the comfort and safety of your own home.
Text-Based Therapy
Text-based therapy offers a flexible and supportive way for women struggling with infertility/loss, are pregnant, or postpartum moms to receive care through secure messaging. This option allows you to connect with your therapist without needing to schedule a traditional session, making it especially helpful during busy or unpredictable seasons of life and motherhood. Text-based therapy is not intended for crisis situations, but it can be a gentle, accessible way to feel supported, understood, and less alone during this season of life.
Postpartum Blooming in Motherhood
Online Support Group
Motherhood in the first year and beyond can feel overwhelming, isolating, and emotionally exhausting—especially when things don’t look the way you expected. This low-cost online postpartum support group offers a safe, supportive space for moms with babies/toddlers ages newborn to 2 years to connect, share real-life experiences, and feel less alone.
You don’t need to have everything figured out. You don’t need to “fix” anything. You just need a place where you’re understood.
Join from the comfort of your home, baby in arms if needed, and connect with other moms who truly get it.
Birth Trauma Group Therapy
Giving birth can be an incredible experience, but for many mothers, it can also include unexpected trauma. Birth trauma can happen with emergency interventions, difficult labor, or complications, and the emotional impact can last long after your baby arrives. You may experience flashbacks, anxiety, sadness, difficulty bonding with your baby, or fear around future pregnancies.
Birth Trauma Group Therapy offers an online safe, supportive space where you can share your experiences with other mothers who understand what you’ve been through.
Group sessions combine trauma-informed approaches, mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and peer support to help you process your experience, reduce stress, and begin to heal. Sharing your story and learning from others can be an important step toward reclaiming your confidence, connection, and peace as a mother.
