Therapy for Mothers
Helping you navigate the transition to motherhood and beyond.
Serving clients in Maryland and North Carolina
This is a challenging time to be a mother. You may be feeling overwhelmed, frustrated or burned out. You may be feeling worried, sad, or stuck and not sure how to feel better. Your previous ways of coping aren’t working as well as they used to. You’re exhausted and feel like you’re failing in all of your roles.
You may feel intense anger or resentment at your partner or family. You’re not the parent or partner that you want to be and you’re not sure how you can balance it all. You have high standards for yourself and fear judgment of others. You worry that you're just not good at being a mom and regularly experience guilt or shame. You wish everyday wasn’t so hard.
I get it.
As a mother myself, and therapist specializing in maternal mental health, I support women in their adjustment to motherhood. I help my clients process difficult emotions, increase their self-awareness and develop self-confidence. I help moms adjust to their new identities and process the joys and the losses associated with motherhood. I help women who want to break unhealthy generational patterns by learning how to better regulate their emotions and achieve their parenting goals.
Better yet, I look at the experience of motherhood through a matriscentric feminist lens. I help mothers see how they’re not failing, society is failing them…. and what they can do about it!
