YOU CAN LOVE YOUR BABY AND STILL STRUGGLE.

“Why didn’t anyone
warn me it could feel like this?”

The anxiety. The rage. The exhaustion that goes bone-deep. The feeling that the version of you before motherhood has just… disappeared.

You don’t have to keep white-knuckling through it. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.

SUPPORT FOR THE SEASON YOU’RE IN

There’s space for you here.

New to motherhood or years into it,
you deserve support that sees all of you.

MEET YOUR THERAPIST

Hi, I’m Rachael!

I’m a therapist, a wife, and a mama of two. My own experience with postpartum anxiety, rage, and identity loss is what brought me to this work.

I created After The Glow Counseling to be the space I wish I’d had: somewhere you can finally exhale, say the hard things, and feel supported as a whole person.

SEEN. SUPPORTED. EMPOWERED.

Motherhood is more than
a momentary glow.
