Struggling with pregnancy or motherhood?
Are you finding that the experience of pregnancy or (new) motherhood isn’t what you thought or hoped to be? If you're wrestling with feelings of shame, anxiety, stress, depression, or anything else on that emotional spectrum, please know I am here to help.
About Me
Hi, I'm Anna, founder of Magnolia Moms.
I am a Dutch psychiatrist and a licensed medical specialist in the Netherlands, with experience as an OBGYN doctor.
Recently my family and I relocated to the United States. While I continue to work remotely with my Dutch patients, I am eager to provide 1 on 1 counseling to local mothers. I understand the beautiful, yet often challenging and overwhelming journey of pregnancy and motherhood, and I'm dedicated to offering personalized support.
​
With my background in medicine and my own experience as a mother, I have a unique skillset to guide you through the many challenges of pregnancy and new motherhood.
​
I take on a limited number of clients, ensuring that each mother receives the personalized care and attention she deserves. With me, you're not just another client – you're a valued individual.
​
Let's begin this journey together.

My Philosophy
My aim is to provide a safe and nurturing environment in our sessions where you can find the courage to express yourself, have dedicated time for self-care, learn effective coping strategies, and challenge those negative thoughts. This applies not only during your pregnancy or new motherhood but also in your life beyond motherhood. We will discuss the various roles in your life and address the process of adjusting to your new role as a mom. It's entirely normal if this adjustment does not come naturally.
​
I offer personalized 1-on-1 sessions that cater to your specific needs, assisting you in navigating the challenges of pregnancy and/or motherhood. Whether you're dealing with prenatal anxiety, postpartum depression, maternal rage, or the general stress of being a new mom, I am here to provide support. Prioritizing quality over quantity, each client receives my undivided attention and care.
