I’m a therapist and founder of a nation-wide perinatal counselling practice and provider training hub. I also write and create resources like these to make mom-life feel less overwhelming. My specialty? Anxiety in motherhood—especially intrusive thoughts. 

When my daughters were babies, I was blindsided by intrusive thoughts. They’d come out of nowhere—scary, graphic, totally out of character—and I was too afraid to say a word. I felt ashamed, confused, and totally alone.

Even with degrees in psychology, I didn’t realize that what I was dealing with was anxiety. I thought I was just broken, or missing something everyone else seemed to handle just fine. Spoiler: I wasn’t. It was anxiety—and once I understood that, everything started to shift.

Now I help thousands of moms work through intrusive thoughts in therapy, workshops, and guides like this one—because you don’t have to stay stuck in fear, shame, or self-doubt. You don’t have to live at war with your own mind.

This guide will help you understand what’s happening, change how you respond to your thoughts, and finally get some breathing room—because motherhood is hard enough without your brain turning against you.
