Therapy for Moms

Your children are the most important people in your life. You would do anything for them. You drive them to all their activities, keep track of appointments, homework, and playdates, and constantly make sure they’re happy and thriving.

And you love being a mom.

But sometimes, you wonder: When did I become just “so-and-so’s mom?” Somewhere along the way, you may have lost touch with yourself. You might feel frustrated, guilty, or anxious about getting everything “right.” Sometimes the past resurfaces in parenting, and sometimes the pressure of motherhood itself triggers stress or anxiety.

Feeling overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re failing

Being a mom is hard — wonderful, messy, joyful, and exhausting all at once. It’s normal to feel stretched, irritated, or unsure of who you are outside of motherhood. But you don’t have to lose yourself along the way.

How therapy can help

In therapy, you can:

• Reconnect with your identity beyond motherhood

• Manage anxiety, stress, and mom guilt

• Heal old patterns or past trauma that resurface in parenting

• Learn self-compassion and tools to care for yourself while caring for your family

I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and a compassionate, strengths-based approach to help moms feel grounded, confident, and more present — both for themselves and their children.

You deserve support — for you and for your family

Therapy can help you be the mother you want to be without losing yourself. You don’t have to carry it alone. Schedule a free consultation today and take the first step toward feeling more balanced, calm, and connected in your life as a mom.
