Therapy for Moms Who Want To Feel More Like Themselves Again

In person and online therapy for Moms in Oregon struggling with anxiety, difficult emotions, and patterns that may have roots in childhood.

You love your kids deeply, but find yourself more anxious, reactive, or overwhelmed than you want to be. Maybe you wonder why certain things affect you so strongly, or why you keep responding in ways that don't feel like you. Or why you feel so anxious and can’t keep the worry, irritability or stress at bay.

Sometimes, the answer isn't just what's happening in your life right now. The experiences, relationships, and patterns we grew up with can continue to shape how we feel, react, parent, and relate to ourselves, even when we know our childhood is in the past.

As an anxiety and trauma therapist in Beaverton, OR, I help moms understand what's underneath their anxiety and difficult emotions, work through the impact of past experiences, and feel more grounded, connected, and more like themselves again.

Ways We Can Work Together

EMDR Therapy

Gently process past experiences so they don't keep affecting your life today.

Hi, I’m Aimee. I’m passionate about supporting moms who feel overwhelmed or anxious because I’ve been there, and honestly, sometimes I still am. I know firsthand what it’s like to juggle nap time (if that even happens!), school pick-up, homework, sports schedules, work, and trying to carve out a little “you” time all while trying to manage your own mental health, being a wife, a friend, a daughter… and maybe even feeling like yourself once in a while.

I also know how daily life stressors can lead to less patience, more mom guilt, and, if you add unresolved past trauma into the mix, a nervous system that feels like it might explode. Sometimes the things that feel hardest in motherhood aren’t just about what’s happening today. Childhood experiences and old patterns can show up in how we respond to stress, relationships, and our kids. That’s part of the deeper work we can explore together through approaches like EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

Motherhood is one of the most rewarding roles I’ve ever had, and it’s also been the most challenging. I’m excited about helping moms navigate this journey, and I strive to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, supported, and equipped to handle life’s challenges. So you can soak in the joy that motherhood can bring.

And yes, I am a professional too!
