About Me

Pregnancy, birth, and motherhood can bring joy alongside unexpected emotional pain. Whether you’re navigating postpartum anxiety or depression, or still carrying the impact of perinatal trauma months or even years later, support is available. Our compassionate mental health services offer a safe, non-judgmental space to process your experiences, heal at your own pace, and reconnect with yourself.

At Desert Sage Counseling, our approach is grounded in trauma-informed care that honors your nervous system, personal history, and sense of control. Therapy is collaborative and paced intentionally, ensuring you feel safe, supported, and empowered at every step. As you share your story, explore emotions, and develop tools to manage stress, anxiety, and mood changes during pregnancy and motherhood. EMDR is a gentle, evidence-based approach that helps the brain process overwhelming or traumatic experiences without requiring you to relive them in detail, reducing emotional distress and reactivity over time. Together, these therapies support healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of balance—no prior therapy experience needed.

You deserve care, support, and healing—at every stage of motherhood.

 

My Services

  • Perinatal mental health challenges are common and can affect women before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and beyond the postpartum period. Anxiety may show up as constant worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, or fear about your baby’s safety or your ability to cope. Depression can include persistent sadness, numbness, guilt, low energy, changes in sleep or appetite, or feeling disconnected from yourself or your baby. Attachment difficulties may involve trouble bonding, feeling emotionally distant, or distressing thoughts about being a “bad” parent. Perinatal OCD often includes intrusive, unwanted thoughts or images and a strong urge to engage in mental or physical rituals to reduce anxiety.

    At Desert Sage Counseling, rest assured that no matter what experience you are having, you are not alone— we are here to listen.
