Motherhood
If you are struggling to manage your feelings of anxiety, depression, and overwhelm as you parent your child or as you spend time with your loved ones after becoming a mother then I’m glad you found yourself on this page. I specialize in supporting women to break trauma cycles, honor themselves, and discover their authenticity within motherhood despite challenges of anxiety, depression, birth trauma, NICU trauma, special needs diagnoses, and stress.
Feeling joyful, confident, and peaceful about yourself and motherhood is possible.
There is power in the sacred space created in therapy. This space facilitates the process of finding yourself and your confidence in motherhood even if it feels like emotions are hard for you, the trauma feels overwhelming, or its hard to get out of bed some days.
As a clinical psychologist, speaker, mother, and the founder of this therapy practice. I’ve had extensive training in perinatal mental health, young children, and trauma. But most importantly, I understand the complexity of motherhood and can support you in figuring out this chapter of your life.
Motherhood, for me, wasn’t such a beautiful beginning. My partner and I were excited to make babies, as one is, and we were lucky enough to become pregnant quickly. Sadly, we lost that first baby during our first trimester of pregnancy. I was devastated, grief ridden, and angry. It’s hard to navigate miscarriage. I subsequently had a healthy pregnancy and birth but was floored by the challenges of breastfeeding shortly after. And this is how parenting goes, there is always a next stage that can feel overwhelming and hard if you haven’t developed the tools to support yourself. There is so much worthiness tied to motherhood in our culture and I got wrapped up in that. It took time, intentionality, and uncovering some shadow aspects of myself to come to a place of loving myself and my child the way I do today. That’s what I strive to provide in treatment, its deeper than just reducing the symptoms that you come in with. It’s about supporting you to lean into your worthiness and fulfilling your role as the mother you want to be.
It can feel hard to take time for yourself as a mother, there is so much to do ALL THE TIME. But, when you are able to find ways to better support how you feel it enables you to show up for your children in the way you want. Some of my clients describe that as a result of therapy they are able to show up with calm, presence, and joy. I think every parent should have the opportunity to have that experience.
