Support for those navigating anxiety, perfectionism, childhood trauma, and identity shifts as they move through pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into parenthood.
The way you parent becomes the way you heal.
Becoming a parent can bring up anxiety, overwhelm, or parts of your past you didn’t expect to show up. Therapy can help you understand what’s coming up and how it connects to who you are becoming.
If becoming a parent has brought up emotions, memories, or identity shifts you did not expect.
If pregnancy or early parenthood feels more overwhelming than you imagined.
If having a child has stirred up complicated feelings about your own upbringing or your parents.
If anxiety or overwhelm is making it hard to show up as the parent you want to be.
Parenting is an invitation to feel better in all of your relationships.
This is an opportunity for growth.
Therapy creates space for reflection, healing, and intentional change.

Samantha Sandgren, LPC, PMH-C
You deserve a place where you can speak openly about the realities of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting. Becoming a parent can feel overwhelming, and the desire to “get it right” can be intense. The truth is, most parents are learning as they go. Every child has their own unique needs and temperament, and it takes time to figure out what works best. Many of the people I work with didn’t have a healthy blueprint for parenting and find themselves reacting in ways that don’t align with their values, caught in cycles of anxiety and guilt.
In therapy, you will find a space where you can be fully yourself without fear of judgment. While the world often scrutinizes parents, this is a space to unpack that pressure, focus on what matters most, simplify challenges, create actionable plans, and do the deeper healing work. Much of my work includes addressing attachment wounds and exploring how relationship patterns from your own childhood may unintentionally shape your connection with yourself, others, and the way you show up in parenting.
It’s your time to turn the tide.
Respond with intention, feel grounded in yourself, and create lasting security and connection for your children and yourself.
