Meet Aubrey, Postpartum Therapist & Coach
I help new moms process rage, anxiety, identity loss, and the overwhelm of motherhood with creativity, compassion, and clarity
Why I Do This Work
I didn’t choose this specialty — it chose me.
After becoming a mother, I experienced a level of rage and identity loss I never saw coming. The kind no one warned me about. The kind that made me question who I was.
I spent years hiding it, feeling broken, trying to be “grateful.” Until I realized: rage isn’t a problem — it’s a signal. Anger is a call to return to ourselves.
Now, I help other mothers do just that.
My Approach
Therapy doesn’t have to be stiff, clinical, or only talk. Clients notice that working with me is:
Expressive – We’ll use art, metaphor, and creative tools to access what words alone can’t reach
Embodied – We’ll listen to your body and nervous system, not just your thoughts
Empowering – You’re not here to be fixed. You’re here to reclaim your voice, your power, your self
Flexible – Come as you are. Cry, vent, laugh, draw, scribble — it’s all welcome here!
Real – No therapist mask here. I show up with warmth, honesty, and humanness — because you deserve someone who’s in it with you, not above you.

Who I Work With
I support moms who:
Are navigating postpartum rage, irritability, or anxiety that feels hard to name — let alone express
Feel guilt or shame for losing patience, snapping, or needing space from the people they love
Miss who they used to be — and feel lost in who they’ve become
- Are holding it together on the outside, but quietly unraveling on the inside
- Struggle to ask for help because they’re “the strong one” or the one others depend on
- Are grieving the gap between what they imagined motherhood would be and what it actually is
Feel disconnected from their body, their needs, or their sense of self
Are stuck between doing it all and feeling like nothing they do is enough
Crave a space where they don’t have to smile through it, shrink themselves, or say “I’m fine”
Whether you're 5 weeks or 5 years postpartum, your pain is valid.
Your story matters.
Your healing is possible.
“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”
— Mahatma Ghandi
