Self-Compassion Journal

Restore. Reignite. Rediscover.

Here at Observant Mind, we believe that every couple, no matter how distant or divided, has the potential to rediscover the deep bond that once connected them. The pain you carry—the frustration, the misunderstandings, the hurt from betrayals—does not define your love. It is simply the call to heal, and overcome together.

Motherhood shouldn't feel this hard, should it?

Maybe you're struggling with...

  • Inadequacy, doubting your ability to be the mother your baby deserves.

  • Overwhelm, the constant needs and stimuli are just too much.

  • Self-doubt and feelings of failure, believing you're falling short.

  • Ambivalence, struggling to connect with your baby and enjoying being a mom.

  • Constant anxiety and fear, consumed by worries about your baby's safety or intrusive thoughts of harm.

  • Agony, wanting another baby but terrified of the mental health repercussions and it taking away from your other kid(s).

Please do not suffer alone in silence!

There is no need to feel ashamed, I have been there and ready to support you through these hard thoughts and feelings.

You’re NOT a bad mom, you just need Support.

Here's what we'll do together.

Therapy can help you learn to trust your maternal intuition, build confidence, and stop bracing for the next shoe to drop.

We will accomplish this through experiential and somatic based therapy that resets your nervous system by allowing you to complete stuck emotional and physical cycles held deep in your body and implicit memory.

That is just a fancy way to say, I will help you ground into your truth and drown out the noise so you can be the mother you want to be.

What we will work on:

Imagine a life with…

  • Emotional Healing: Safely navigate and heal from the wounds of motherhood, allowing you to tap into your inner wisdom and release self-doubt.

  • Empowerment: Gain tools and strategies to rebuild your confidence and create a fulfilling motherhood journey that aligns with your values and aspirations.

  • Supportive Guidance: Receive non-judgmental and compassionate guidance from a professional who understands firsthand the unique challenges of postpartum experiences.

Hi, I'm Leah

I'm here to help you
find Peace

I know what it’s like to feel like you’re not designed for this mothering thing.

With my first two boys, I experienced extreme worry, irritability, and overwhelm.

I missed my old life, felt trapped, and like no matter how hard I tried I was either failing at life or motherhood.

If you resonate with this you’re not alone.
Motherhood has a profound impact, unearthing our deepest wounds and amplifying our most profound fears. Coupled with the immense societal pressure and lack of support faced by modern mothers, postpartum depression and anxiety can quickly take hold.

But Joy in Motherhood is possible.

My last two postpartum experiences were filled with connection and bliss, because I prioritized my needs.
Now I know what it takes to stay sane and present during this stressful time.

I want this for you! Don't let shame or fear overshadow your path to more calm, presence, and confidence.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if postpartum therapy is right for me?

If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like you keep repeating the same patterns despite your best efforts, trauma therapy can help by getting to root cause of these patterns. You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable—starting now means giving yourself the support, clarity, and tools to navigate life with more ease.

What approach do you use in therapy?

I integrate traditional therapy with somatic (body-based) and holistic approaches. This means we don’t just talk about your experiences—we also explore how they show up in your emotions, nervous system, and relationships. I use trauma-informed methods like parts work, inner child healing, and nervous system regulation to help you move beyond survival mode and into a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

I’ve been in therapy before, but it didn’t help. How will this be different?

Many of my clients have tried therapy before and felt like they didn’t get to the root of their struggles. My approach is different because I don’t just focus on symptom relief—I help you understand and heal the underlying patterns that have kept you stuck. We move beyond just coping into real transformation.

What if I don’t know how to talk about my trauma?

That’s completely okay. You don’t need to have the right words or even know where to start. My role is to help you feel safe, supported, and in control of the process. We can begin wherever you are—whether that means exploring emotions, body sensations, or simply learning how to feel more present and grounded.

Can we work on more than just trauma in therapy?

Absolutely. While trauma may be part of your story, it doesn’t define you. Therapy can also focus on self-esteem, relationships, life transitions, personal growth, and reconnecting with joy and purpose. The work we do is about supporting you as a whole person, not just healing past wounds.

Master Communication

communication isn’t just about talking—it’s about being truly heard. It’s about opening the heart wide enough to let your partner in, even in moments of pain or anger. It’s about finding the words that carry your deepest needs and desires, and feeling safe enough to express them without fear. If you’ve been caught in cycles of bickering or silence, here is the space to break free. Together, we’ll cultivate the tools to speak from a place of clarity and compassion, so your needs are not just heard, but truly understood.
