You Don’t Have to Choose Between Success and Well-Being
Returning to work after having a baby is often framed as a challenge to “push through.” But for high-achieving women, the transition can feel even more complex.
You may not identify with postpartum depression, but something feels off.
Maybe you:
Feel the pressure to perform at the same level despite major life changes.
Struggle with guilt, exhaustion, or identity shifts that no one prepared you for.
Wonder why you don’t feel “back to normal” even if everything looks fine on the outside.
Are balancing a high-responsibility role, leadership expectations, and the emotional weight of caregiving.
This isn’t just about postpartum mental health—it’s about navigating change in a way that honors both your ambition and your well-being.
Support Designed for High-Performing Women
You don’t have to fit a clinical definition of postpartum depression to know that this transition is impacting you. Many high-achieving women dismiss their struggles because they don’t feel “bad enough” to seek support.
Here’s the truth:
You don’t have to qualify for help.
You don’t have to suffer in silence because you “should be able to handle it.”
You deserve space to process, adapt, and redefine what success looks like—for you.
In therapy, we’ll explore:

Managing the Mental Load
Even when you love your career, the constant decision-making, planning, and multitasking can feel like an invisible full-time job. From keeping track of work deadlines to remembering the next pediatrician appointment, the weight of it all adds up. Therapy helps you untangle the overwhelm, set boundaries, and reclaim space for yourself.

Identity Shifts
You’re still you—but motherhood changes things. Your values, priorities, and career goals may look different now, and that’s okay. Therapy offers space to explore what you truly want in this new season, helping you step into it with confidence, clarity, and self-compassion.

Navigating Guilt & Expectations
Success and motherhood don’t have to be at odds, but many high-achievers feel caught in the guilt trap—“Am I doing enough at work? At home?” Whether the pressure is coming from within or external expectations, therapy can help you redefine success on your terms—without the guilt.

Setting Boundaries in High-Responsibility Roles
The pressure to "do it all" is real, especially in leadership or demanding careers. Learning to set healthy boundaries doesn’t mean pulling back—it means creating sustainable success that honors both your ambition and well-being.

Processing Emotions
You can love your child and still grieve parts of your old life. You can be deeply grateful and still feel overwhelmed. Therapy is a space where you don’t have to edit your emotions to make others comfortable. Your feelings are valid, and you deserve support.
This Is For You If…
You’re a high-achieving professional, entrepreneur, or leader adjusting to postpartum life.
You feel the pressure to “bounce back”—physically, mentally, and professionally.
You’re questioning what success looks like in this new phase of life.
You don’t identify with traditional postpartum struggles, but something still feels unbalanced.
You’re navigating the expectations of leadership while adjusting to motherhood.
You Can Be Both—A High Achiever & Someone Who Needs Support
It is my deepest value to make therapy accessible and supportive for you during this transformative season. You are welcome to come as you are—whether that’s wearing a bonnet, sleep-deprived, or needing to feed your newborn as we work through challenges together. There’s no judgment here—just a safe space where you are seen, heard, and supported. I got you!
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to figure this out alone. Therapy provides a space to process, adapt, and move forward with clarity. Ready to redefine success on your terms? Let’s talk.
Motherhood & Career

No. Many high-achieving women don’t relate to the term postpartum depression but still struggle with the emotional, mental, and identity shifts that come with motherhood.

This support is for you, whether or not you have a clinical diagnosis.
