You love your kids. And feel like you're losing yourself. Or maybe your kids are grown up and you feel unsure who you are now.
Motherhood is not easy and can impact who you are, how you relate to others, and the relationship you have with yourself. It can show up as:
-
You hear yourself say things you swore you never would, and the guilt afterward is exhausting.
You know what you want to do differently. In the moment, something else takes over.
-
By the time everyone is fed, settled, and taken care of, there's no energy left to even know what you need.
You can't remember the last time you did something that was just for you, and even thinking about it feels selfish.
-
You second-guess decisions you've already made, replaying conversations and moments long after they're over.
Other moms seem to have figured something out that you haven't, and you can't tell if that's true or just how it feels.
-
Motherhood asks a lot of you and can easily take over how you see yourself.
Time and energy for yourself outside of being a mom can be hard to come by.
-
You can see patterns happening and still can't seem to stop, which is its own kind of defeat.
Some of what you're doing looks familiar in a way that has nothing to do with your kids and everything to do with how you were raised.
Being a mom is one of the most challenging jobs in the world. You don’t have to do it alone.
What is Therapy for Moms?
Most people think therapy is about fixing what's wrong with you. But it's actually about understanding who you are underneath everything you've taken on, so you can show up more fully in your own life. In our work together we will explore:
-
The way you respond to your kids, your partner, and the people closest to you came from somewhere.
We'll trace those patterns back to where they started so you can finally understand and shift them instead of just judging yourself for having them.
-
Most women who come to therapy have spent so long anticipating everyone else's needs that they've lost touch with their own.
We'll work on identifying what you actually want and building the confidence to say it out loud.
-
Your body holds a lot of information your mind hasn't fully processed yet.
We pay attention to what's happening beneath the surface, not just what you can articulate.
-
Mother, partner, daughter, caregiver. Those are real and important parts of you. But they aren't all of you, and we'll work on reconnecting to the person who exists beyond them.
-
It's easy to parent from reaction, exhaustion, or the way you were raised, even when none of those feel like you.
We'll identify what you actually value as a parent and find ways to let that lead, even on the hard days.
What do Moms Need in Therapy?
-
You already have an inner critic. You don't need another one. This is a space where you can say the things you don't say out loud, including the hard ones, without being evaluated for them.
-
Most of the patterns that show up in motherhood have roots that go back long before you had kids. Understanding where they come from is the first step to actually changing them.
-
Motherhood asks you to be present for everyone else constantly. Therapy is one hour that is yours, to say what you actually think, feel what you honestly feel, and figure out what you need.
-
The way you experience being known, heard, and understood in therapy isn't separate from the work. It is the work. That experience is what starts to change how you show up everywhere else.
How Therapy Can Help
As a therapist for moms and a mom myself, I specialize in supporting parents like you. I understand how difficult motherhood can be and I’m passionate about supporting you on your journey. We can work toward helping you:
Stop second-guessing every decision and start trusting yourself as a mother.
Say what you need without guilt eating you alive afterward.
Cultivate relationships that feel more honest because you're showing up authentically in them.
Know who you are outside of motherhood, and that being yourself instead of who others want you to be makes you a better mother.
My Approach to Therapy for Moms
Identify your core values and what matters to you.
Parenting is full of hard moments that happen fast, and it's easy to respond from exhaustion or habit instead of intention. When you know what you actually value as a mother, you have something to come back to in those moments. We'll work on getting clear on what matters most to you and figuring out how to let that lead, even on the days when everything is hard.
Know who you are outside of motherhood.
Therapy with me isn't just about being a better mom. Some days we talk about your kids. Some days we talk about your marriage, your own mother, or the version of yourself you've lost track of. I follow what feels most alive and most needed for you in that moment. As a parent a lot of your life revolves around your children and in our space you get to explore whatever you’re holding as a person.
Learn to listen to yourself instead of other’s opinions.
You have absorbed a lot of noise about what a good mother looks like. Some of it came from your own upbringing. Some of it came from the internet. Not all of it is yours. We'll work on telling the difference between your inner voice that actually knows you and the ones that are just loud, so you can start trusting yourself and living in a way that aligns with your values and what is most important to you.
Therapy for Moms: How it Works
Book a Free Consultation
This consultation is where I can hear more about the support you need from therapy and we can determine if we are a good fit to work together.
Build a Foundation
In our first session, I'll ask about your history, hopes for therapy, and what you're currently struggling with. From here, we will build a foundation of trust so you feel comfortable sharing honestly and openly.
Identify Core Values
Identifying what matters most to you builds a great foundation for you to identify what you value as a human and parent. From there, we can work on your relationship to yourself, your kids, and others based on those core values.
Feel More Clear & Confident
Learning to listen to your internal voice and wisdom is key to feeling more grounded and authentic as a person and as a parent. Our work will help you feel more connected to yourself in a way that cultivates compassion, understanding, and clarity. Building that relationship to yourself will impact how you show up for yourself, your kids, and your other relationships.
