Postpartum Therapy and ADHD Therapy for Women in Denver, Colorado
Helping women and mothers heal from anxiety, perfectionism and self-doubt.
Dealing with people-pleasing, anxiety, perfectionism and self-doubt is incredibly challenging.
On the outside, you are a high-achieving, driven woman or new mom.
On the inside, you:
Feel constantly exhausted from second-guessing, overthinking and people-pleasing.
Find yourself trapped in endless anxiety spirals that feel impossible to get out of.
Feel guilty or selfish when you put your needs first.
Maybe you struggle to be yourself in relationships, worrying that others will reject the “real” you if you say what you really want.
You feel underwater with commitments, going from a busy workday to spending time with friends or your kids, not having a minute to yourself.
You say “yes” to things you don’t really want to do, and then feel resentful afterwards
You re-hash conversations in your head over and over again, beating yourself up afterwards:
“Was I rude? Did I say the right thing? Do they hate me now?”
You struggle to turn your brain “off” at the end of the day, laying awake at night with racing thoughts of all you need to do.
You worry that standing up for yourself will ruin your relationships and leave you all alone.
Maybe the pressure to do everything “right” feels so paralyzing, that sometimes you struggle to do anything at all.
And you’re completely burnt out from being everything for everyone else all the time, and at the end of the day having nothing left for yourself.
That critical voice in your head chants all day long:
I should know the answer to this.
I should answer that message.
I should clean up the kitchen.
I should work out today and stop being lazy.
I should be more patient with my kids.
I should stop being so sensitive.
I should be more grateful.
I should be able to handle it on my own.
With each “should” you feel a little more defeated, a little bit smaller.
You’ve tried everything under the sun to connect to your inner calm:
journaling, meditating, mom groups, weekend hikes…
You feel great for a little while, and then the same old patterns start creeping back in - creating lasting change feels impossible.
You wonder, “What’s wrong with me? Is this anxiety? Do I have ADHD? Why can’t I get it together like everyone else seems to?”
It doesn’t have to be like this.
Counseling for women and moms in Denver can help.
Hi, I’m Victoria.
I’m a therapist who helps high-achieving, anxious, people-pleasing women and new moms stop overthinking and learn how to put their needs first.
I’ve been where you are, and I know how hard it can be to feel trapped in never-ending anxious thought patterns and controlled by limiting beliefs. I have helped so many mothers and women with ADHD heal from anxiety, people-pleasing and perfectionism to find confidence and self-love (I see you, ADHD moms!). I’m a certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) and also specialize in treating postpartum anxiety, depression and mental health challenges related to pregnancy, infertility and miscarriage.
This is my passion because I have seen the other side.
I know how the self-awareness and sensitivity that anxious women possess allow us to be most thoughtful friends, supportive partners and dependable colleagues.
I will help you learn how to:
Embrace your many strengths,
Safely explore your fears, and
Treat yourself with the same care, confidence and compassion you show to everyone else in your life.
I want to help you really, for once create a space in your life that’s just for you.
Let’s Get Started
I help women in every stage of motherhood heal from perfectionism and ADHD so that you can:
Stop making decisions based on anxiety and fear
No longer feel guilty for setting boundaries or saying “no”
Spend less time overthinking and more time living your life
Break free from perfectionism and treat yourself with compassion when you make mistakes
Live a life based on your own values, rather than those of society and everyone else around you
Let go of limiting beliefs that are no longer serving you
Find confidence in yourself so that you no longer need validation from others to feel worthy
The women who have worked with me have said things like:
-
"I'm finally able to make choices based on what I want, instead of focusing so much on everyone else."
-
"It really feels like a weight has been lifted. I look at how I would have responded to this situation a year ago, and I can see how much I've grown."
-
"The relationships I'm choosing now are everything I have always wanted, but never felt like it could be possible for me. My anxiety is no longer choosing who I surround myself with."

You are not alone, and it’s not your fault you feel so anxious and unworthy. Women in today’s world face so many pressures to wear every hat, do it all, and it is impossible to meet these standards. Living your whole life with symptoms of ADHD can make you feel even more inadequate, like you’re “behind” or don’t measure up. But healing is possible. You deserve to live a life that is meaningful, fulfilling, and connected to others. Take anxiety, self-doubt and perfectionism out of the driver’s seat.
You are enough.
It may feel like feeling overwhelmed, scattered and burnt-out is just a way of life. It doesn’t have to be.
You can feel less resentful and more gratified in your relationships. You can let go of the inner critic and find a sense of inner peace.
If you are ready to invest in yourself, please reach out today. I am here to walk with you on your journey to self-love and empowerment. I can’t wait to accompany you.
