• Persistent sadness, emptiness, or tearfulness

• Feeling disconnected from or unable to bond with your baby

• Hopelessness, guilt, or shame about being a “bad mom”

• Low energy, fatigue, or loss of interest in activities

• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

• Changes in sleep or appetite not explained by newborn care

• Thoughts of harming yourself or that your baby would be better off without you

• Constant or racing worries, often focused on baby’s safety

• Feeling restless, keyed up, or unable to relax

• Physical tension: rapid heartbeat, dizziness, stomach upset

• Trouble sleeping even when the baby sleeps

• Panic attacks or sudden waves of fear

• Compulsive checking or need for reassurance

• Overwhelm that feels out of proportion to daily stressors

Every journey into motherhood looks different, but many women I work with share:

• Persistent postpartum anxiety or racing thoughts

• Feelings of sadness, numbness, or depression after birth

• Difficulty adjusting to pregnancy or early parenting

• Overwhelm, irritability, or burnout from endless demands

• Changes in relationships, intimacy, or identity

• Struggles with balancing motherhood, work, and self-care

If you recognize yourself in these experiences, know that you are not broken, you are human, and therapy can help.

Therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be fully seen, not just as a parent, but as a whole person. In our work together, we can:

• Reduce symptoms of postpartum anxiety and depression

• Build coping strategies for overwhelm and intrusive thoughts

• Explore identity shifts that come with motherhood

• Strengthen relationships and communication with partners and family

• Reconnect you with your own needs, voice, and sense of self

At Liminal Psych, I integrate evidence-based approaches including EMDR Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and attachment-based counseling to support lasting healing and growth.

I specialize in working with women, moms, and high-functioning professionals who often appear to have it all together, yet feel exhausted, disconnected, or anxious inside. My practice is designed to meet the unique needs of women navigating both the joy and the invisible weight of motherhood.

With both in-person sessions in SouthPark (Charlotte, NC) and virtual therapy across North Carolina, you have flexible support wherever you are.

If you’re a mom or mom-to-be searching for postpartum therapy in Charlotte, NC, know that help is here. You don’t have to keep pushing through it alone. Together, we can create space for you to breathe, heal, and reclaim your sense of self.
