At Nurture and Bloom Therapy in San Mateo, I specialize in helping pregnant and postpartum mothers navigate anxiety, depression, postpartum rage, and identity shifts with compassion and clarity.

Together, we’ll slow down and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. You’ll learn to:

• Understand your emotional triggers and body’s signals

• Learn to manage distress and overwhelm in daily life

• Set boundaries that honor your energy and values

• Reconnect with your sense of self and purpose

At your own pace, in your own rhythm. Because therapy is a space for you to feel seen, supported, and reminded that you’re still in there — beneath the noise, the demands, and the endless giving.

Specialties:

• Anxiety and depression in pregnancy and postpartum

• Postpartum rage

• Matrescence and identity transitions

• Emotional regulation and burnout recovery

(In-person and online therapy available for residents of California, including San Mateo County and the Bay Area.)

Embarking on parenthood can transform your relationship in profound ways. In this unique therapy offering, you’ll have the space to individually explore your emotions, fears, and expectations about becoming a parent — while also having the option to invite your partner into the process.

Designed to strengthen your bond before baby arrives, this therapy is not couples therapy, but rather an intentional space to address the individual and shared aspects of your evolving relationship. Together, we’ll explore how to navigate this major life transition, from communication and emotional support to balancing and sharing responsibilities and nurturing connection in your relationship.

Whether you choose to attend alone or bring your partner into specific sessions, this therapy will help you:

• Cultivate awareness of your personal needs and triggers.

• Strengthen communication and shared expectations.

• Honor both your individual and collective experiences as you move toward parenthood.

• Build a strong foundation for navigating the mental, emotional, and relational changes ahead.

This offering is an investment in your partnership and your well-being as you prepare for the next chapter — one that acknowledges the complexities of parenthood and strengthens your connection along the way.

At Nurture and Bloom, our infant massage classes are thoughtfully designed to support deep connection, calm, and confidence for both baby and caregiver.

Rooted in the science of parent-child attachment, these classes offer a nurturing space to slow down, attune, and build a secure foundation of trust and connection.

You’ll learn:

• Gentle, developmentally supportive massage strokes for gas, colic, and sleep challenges.

• How to read and respond to your baby’s cues to foster bonding.

• Tools to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and grow your confidence as a parent.

These classes are a safe, affirming space for all. Feeding, crying, and real moments of parenting are welcome.

Available throughout San Mateo, Redwood City, and the greater SF Bay Area.
