Therapy for moms

“I keep getting triggered by my kids.”

“i love my kids, but sometimes i hate being a mom.”

“i’m so afraid i’m going to ruin my kids.”

Therapy by a mom, for moms.

let me help you.

Maybe you are repeating patterns & saying things to your children that you swore you would never say. You may find yourself triggered by your kids & spout off hurtful and shaming words —— only to then feel that immense shame and guilt for reacting that way, again. You’re yelling, screaming, shutting down, criticizing or avoiding way more than you want to.

You may be trying to cope by drinking one too many glasses of wine, or doom-scrolling on your phone. Perhaps you’re feeling tapped out & like you can’t handle one more time someone says, “Mom…”

Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact on every faucet of life:

  • Dread to start your day

  • Lack of presence with your kids

  • Constantly feeling on edge or irritated

  • Yelling more than you want

  • Feeling like no amount of alone time is enough

  • Numbing out by drinking, scrolling or all together avoiding

  • Lack of enjoyment of life in general

Therapy for Moms can help!

cycle breakers

The demands are never ending & you are questioning why you even had children. The mental load of motherhood is REAL & you are on the edge of your breaking point.

Perhaps the partner you fell in love with is now a major source of irritation and resentment.

While this is all normal, and this is an extremely demanding stage of life, that information alone isn’t helpful.

Now is the time to invest in your own mental well-being. Let’s get to the root of the overwhelm & irritation.

Let’s get you in touch with your authentic self, to understand your needs and wants, set appropriate internal and external boundaries & regain a sense of peace & confidence, guilt-free.

postpartum

Adjustment to parenthood is one of the most vulnerable times in your life. While Instagram paints a one-sided image, you’re reality is full of anxiety, difficulty in your relationship and uncertainty about if you can handle all of the changes ahead.

You’ve heard about the mental load of motherhood & are determined that will not be your story.

I’ll be your guide through this exciting, yet unfamiliar territory. You’ll gain tools to help with anxiety, get in touch with your own needs, and strengthen your communication skills. We’ll navigate changing expectations, identity and career issues.

Let’s proactively work to prevent issues before they take root.

Pregnancy

You are in full swing with pregnancy hormones & need some support.

You know how much life will change in a few months. Your partner says they are supportive of you working, but you are afraid the default parent will default to…. YOU.

Perhaps you had a childhood that is definitely not worth repeating and you fear these same patterns accidentally showing up in your parenting style.

It’s time to navigate all of the uncertainty keeping you up at night. Let’s prepare you for a smooth transition!

  • We’ll get to know your unique challenges with motherhood. We will explore your own childhood and expectations you may have unconsciously picked up along the way. Slowly, we will make sense of why you are triggered in certain ways and make sense of how your nervous system was programed at a young age. With greater understanding will come more compassion for yourself and your humanity.

  • This totally depends on what you need! If you have your own trauma from childhood that you want to work through, then it could take about a year. If you just want to gain some new skills for dealing with postpartum anxiety, it may only take a few sessions. Ultimately, you are in control of how long you come to therapy and I regularly make it a habit to check in with clients to ensure they are getting what they need from our time together.
