Early Motherhood Support for Moms with High-Functioning Anxiety

You’re doing all the things - keeping your baby fed, managing the household, staying on top of every detail - but inside, you’re unraveling. You lie awake running mental checklists, second-guess your every decision, and feel like you can’t ever fully relax. From the outside, you look like you have it together. On the inside, you’re barely holding it all together.

This is what high-functioning anxiety can look like in early motherhood - and you don’t have to keep carrying it alone.

In therapy, we’ll work together to:

  • Identify and manage the thought patterns driving your anxiety and perfectionism

  • Quiet the mental noise and ease the pressure to "do it all"

  • Learn how to regulate your nervous system and access calm, even in chaos

  • Explore the identity shifts of motherhood and reconnect with your own needs

  • Establish sustainable coping tools for emotional overwhelm, guilt, and burnout

If past experiences or trauma are fueling your anxiety, EMDR therapy is also available to help you safely reprocess those memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

You don’t need to wait for a breaking point. Support is available now—to help you feel more present, grounded, and like yourself again.
