Hope for Tomorrow Counseling
Helping Pregnant and Postpartum Women in Colorado Feel Better
You’re so over…
Worrying about everything
The monotony of the daily routine
Questioning yourself at every turn
The emotional rollercoaster
You’re so ready to…
Feel better again
Make decisions without second guessing yourself
Enjoy your journey and transition into motherhood
Be the amazing mom you dreamed of being
You are not alone.
Motherhood is a trip. There are magical moments, messy AF moments, times that will take your breath away, and times that you are certain you are losing your mind. Even the most independent, capable, strong woman can be shaken by this transition, because it is really freaking hard.
If you are overwhelmed, exhausted, bored, irritable, agitated, or just can’t stop crying at the latest meme you saw, you are in the right place.
I specialize in helping women in their 30s and 40s who are navigating the emotional, mental, and let’s be real - physical shifts that come with motherhood.
You might not be in crisis - but you know something feels off - and you are ready to do something about it.
You Deserve to Feel Like
You Again
If you start your day:
Hating how you feel
Doubting today will be any different
Dreading the worry and intrusive thoughts
Missing your old life
Already feeling pissed off and resentful because it was another rough night
You are in the right place
Therapy can help you make sense of these changes, reconnect with yourself, and create space for healing and growth.
You are not alone. Support is here.
Before pregnancy, you felt pretty confident you could figure things out on your own. Sure, you might have had some moments of panic prior to a big presentation, or you occasionally obsessed over what you said to your friend ten years ago, but this level of worry Just. Won’t. Stop.
Now that you are pregnant, you can’t sleep, you constantly worry about things that normally didn’t bother you, and you feel so overwhelmed.
Normally, a quick Google search of your symptoms would give you enough information to point you in a direction to figure things out, but nowadays it doesn’t seem like anything is helping - so you panic more.
You want to feel better and have no idea where to start - and that brings on the analysis paralysis and overwhelm.
Maybe you have done therapy in the past, and you have learned some great skills along the way. But right now, nothing makes sense, and nothing seems to be working the way it used to.
You are tired of feeling this way and annoyed by every little thing. You thought pregnancy and motherhood would be a happy time, but you are stuck feeling anxious and stressed out, or feeling unmotivated and have a hard time just getting out of bed in the morning.
People have mentioned therapy, but you wonder if anyone would understand, or if it would even help.
You worry that if you share the thoughts and feelings you are having, it might make them real, or people will think you are a bad mom.
Reaching out for and accepting help is hard; believe me, I get it. Our world is filled with distorted and mixed messages around pregnancy and motherhood. There is a lack of information and awareness that these struggles are normal and way more common than we think.
This is where I come in. My approach creates a warm, safe, non-judgemental environment so you can word vomit all the thoughts and feelings you’ve been shoving down, and you can start to feel lighter and more empowered to identify and manage your feelings. Together we will explore what you are currently struggling with and create a plan that will get you moving forward again. So, let’s work together to get you feeling like you again.
Hi, I’m Annika!
I’m so glad you are here!
Through both my personal and professional life, I have seen how authenticity can be a superpower, and this is what I use to guide my work. I’m not a therapist that just sits quietly; I bring real talk—sometimes with a well-placed swear word—to break down walls and keep it raw. I mix personal experience with humor to create a space where you can feel genuinely heard and understood, not judged. Because healing is messy, real, and sometimes a little bit badass. If you’re ready for therapy that’s as straightforward and genuine as you are, I am here to guide you every step of the way.
Every therapist is different, and you deserve to find the right one for you. Check out My Approach page to learn more about me and get a feel for what you can expect in therapy with me.
