Nurturing the Sisterhood - Therapy for Moms

I’m Dr. Julie Franks, a doctoral-level perinatal mental health therapist supporting women who are navigating infertility, pregnancy, postpartum anxiety or depression, and the often-invisible mental load of early motherhood. Caring for women in this stage of life isn’t just something I do — it’s the heart of my work. With both advanced training and lived experience, I offer compassionate, judgment-free therapy that honors the nuanced emotional realities of becoming — and being — a mother. My practice, Nurturing the Sisterhood, is a space where moms come first. Babies are always welcome in session.
