Compassionate perinatal therapy for moms navigating all seasons of motherhood
Who I Work With
The mom who finds herself checking her baby’s breathing an endless amount of times while they sleep…and then once more just in case
The mom who feels resentment and irritability creep up but before she knows it, she snaps. And then feels crushing guilt about it
The mom who feels like “this isn’t how it’s supposed to be” when she doesn’t feel instantly connected to her baby
The mom who’s grieving her postpartum experience due to colic, reflux, birth trauma or unmet expectations of what this time would look like
The mom who takes care of it all for everyone else but herself and is quickly burning out
If any of this hits home for you, I’d be honored to be part of your village

Adjusting to Motherhood
The overwhelm of figuring out your new identity, new priorities and new lifestyle.
Motherhood Is a Lot-You Don’t Have to Pretend It Isn’t
This shit is hard. Period.
This might be the first one you’re taking for yourself in a long time.
Let’s create a space where you can be real, ask for help, and grow at your own pace.
I can help you feel less mom guilt and communicate your needs so that resentment doesn’t creep up and make you snap (and then feel guilty again).
If you second-guess every parenting decision, feel completely burnt out or wonder why being a mother isn’t “coming naturally" for you like everyone said it would- I can help you quiet the noise and find yourself again.
Alexa Vizcarra, LPC, PMH-C
How I can help:
Quiet the constant mental noise so you can think straight again, not spiral at 2 AM.
Figuring out what’s underneath the overwhelm instead of feeling like you’re “just not handling things well.”
Find yourself again in a life that currently runs on everyone else’s needs.
Learning how to calm your mind and body in ways that actually fit your real life—not the Instagram version of it.
Sorting through the identity shifts that come with motherhood- because it’s okay to look in the mirror and wonder who the f**k that is.
Feeling less alone in the things you’ve been quietly carrying for a long time.
If something in you is saying you’re ready for support, even if you’re not totally sure what you need yet, that’s enough. We can figure the rest out together.
