Postpartum Mental Health Therapist in Lancaster CA
Virtual postpartum and hormonal mental health therapist for women virtually across California.
Hi, I’m Tálor!
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and postpartum therapist specializing in postpartum and hormonal mental health in Lancaster CA and virtually throughout California.
I work with women navigating pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, fertility challenges, and the emotional shifts that can come with hormonal changes—whether that shows up as anxiety, intrusive thoughts, PMDD, PCOS, or simply feeling unlike yourself in your body.
My path into this work did not begin only in a textbook. It also began through lived experience.
Like many of the women I support today, I’ve navigated the complexities of hormonal health, including my own journey with PCOS. I understand what it can feel like when your body feels unpredictable — when your mood, energy, and emotional capacity shift in ways that don’t always make sense on the surface.
That experience deepened my curiosity about the connection between hormones, the nervous system, and emotional well-being.
Over time, I began to notice how often women are told, “It’s just stress,” “it’s just hormones,” or “this is just how it is,” when there may be a deeper story happening in the body.
My work is rooted in the belief that mental health does not exist in isolation. Hormonal shifts, nervous system activation, trauma, and life transitions can all shape how you feel, think, connect, and show up in your life.
Through my own experience with EMDR therapy, I’ve also witnessed how powerful it can be to process what the body has been holding — creating space for relief, clarity, and a deeper sense of regulation.
That personal and professional integration is what I bring into my work with clients..
My approach is both clinical and deeply attuned
You might be here because something doesn’t feel right…
You thought you would feel more like yourself by now…
but instead, you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or not quite like you.
Maybe you’ve been wondering:
Why do I feel like this after having a baby?
Is this postpartum depression or anxiety?
Why do my emotions feel so intense or unpredictable?
Is this connected to my hormones?
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone—and there is a way to begin making sense of it.
Working With Me, A Postpartum & Hormonal Mental Health Therapist
• A pace led by your body, not a deadline. We won't rush toward "fixed" before you're ready.
• Clinical training and lived experience, together. EMDR, functional hormone knowledge, and fertility awareness education into the room — alongside my own experience navigating PCOS.
• Space to actually ask "is this my hormones, or something else?" We look at both — your nervous system and your cycle — instead of picking one.
• A collaborative process, not a one-size-fits-all protocol. You stay informed about what we're doing and why, and we adjust as your body and life shift.
• Support that doesn't stop at the postpartum window. Whether you're trying to conceive, adjusting after birth, or tracking mood against your cycle years later.
Specializing In…
Postpartum & Perinatal
• Postpartum depression and anxiety
• Birth trauma and difficult birth experiences
• Intrusive thoughts and emotional overwhelm
• Identity shifts during pregnancy and postpartum
Hormonal & Reproductive
• PMDD, PCOS, and severe PMS
• Fertility and reproductive mental health
• Medical dismissal and learning to advocate for yourself
This work often includes building awareness of your patterns, strengthening emotional regulation, and helping you feel more stable and connected throughout your cycle and daily life.
More About Me
I'm a daughter, a sister, and a mommy to two dogs — plus a partner to a former Marine who's now an Army officer.
Outside the therapy room, you'll find me traveling, playing with my dogs, or with my hands in the dirt. Gardening is one of the ways I stay grounded, and it's what pulled me into a deeper love of herbalism. I'm slowly exploring pottery too — mostly because I love making something with my hands and having zero control over how it turns out. Somewhere in there, I'm always chasing anything rooted in ancestral wisdom, and looking for new ways to give back to myself after a day spent giving to everyone else.
My path to this work is personal as well as professional. Living with PCOS, anxiety, and depression myself has meant learning firsthand what it's like to be dismissed, to chase answers, and to slowly rebuild trust in my own body and mind. That experience shapes how I show up for you — I take your hormones as seriously as your feelings, because I know what it costs when no one else does.

Clinical Approach
My work is grounded in specialized training across reproductive health, hormonal wellness, and perinatal mental health — not just general talk therapy. I integrate these approaches so your emotional experience is never treated separately from what's happening in your body.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) — An evidence-based therapy where we reduce the emotional charge from distressing memories, including birth trauma, fertility loss, or moments you felt dismissed by your body or your providers.
Functional hormone & cycle-based coaching — Drawing on my IAFHH and Cycle Coach training, we connect your mood, energy, and emotional patterns to what's actually happening hormonally, rather than treating them as separate issues.
Fertility awareness charting — Body literacy as a clinical tool. Through my SymptoPro training, we track what your cycle is communicating and use that information alongside the therapeutic work.
Somatic & nervous system regulation — Because hormonal shifts live in the body, not just the mind. We use body-based practices to help your nervous system settle and heal.
Whether you’re navigating a new season of motherhood, feeling disconnected from your body, or experiencing emotional patterns that feel confusing or overwhelming, your experience deserves to be understood in context.
In our work together, we look at the full picture:
your emotional experiences
your nervous system responses
your hormonal patterns
your lived story
