Motherhood brings incredible joy, but it can also bring unexpected challenges. Whether you're adjusting to life with a newborn, coping with postpartum anxiety, processing a difficult birth experience, navigating infertility, or grieving a pregnancy loss, you don't have to face it alone.
At Bloom Perinatal Therapy, I provide compassionate online and in person therapy for women throughout Missouri. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) clinician, I help mothers navigate the emotional challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition to motherhood using evidence-based, trauma-informed care in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.
Supporting Missouri Moms Through Every Stage of Motherhood

At Bloom Perinatal Therapy, I provide specialized online and in person therapy for mothers across Missouri, offering a safe, nonjudgmental space to process your experiences, build practical coping skills, and strengthen your emotional well-being.
