Therapy for Moms & Caregivers
Motherhood* brings profound change physically, emotionally, and relationally. Whether you are preparing to conceive, adjusting to life with a newborn, or parenting older children, it is common to feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of yourself. Many mothers are carrying not only the demands of caregiving, but also the stress of living in a world that feels increasingly unstable and unsafe. Showing up regulated and present can feel nearly impossible under those conditions.
I support mothers and parents through the full perinatal journey and beyond. Therapy offers space to slow down, make sense of what you are experiencing, and reconnect with yourself amid the intensity of caregiving and the broader social and political climate shaping your life.
Many mothers come to therapy feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, anger, resentment, or self-doubt. You may notice increased conflict in your relationship, difficulty regulating your emotions, or old family-of-origin patterns resurfacing. These struggles are not a personal failure. They often reflect the weight of unrealistic expectations placed on mothers, combined with nervous system overwhelm and unresolved stress or trauma.
My work is grounded in attachment theory, trauma-informed care, EMDR, and parts work. Together, we explore the roots of what you are carrying, build self-compassion, and strengthen your ability to trust yourself. Therapy is not about becoming a better version of yourself, but about creating space to feel more grounded, clear, and supported in who you already are.
I also bring a feminist, anti-patriarchal lens to therapy with mothers. We name how systems like patriarchy, capitalism, and the lack of meaningful support for families shape maternal burnout, emotional labor, and guilt. By understanding these forces, many parents find relief, clarity, and permission to set boundaries, redefine motherhood on their own terms, and reclaim a sense of agency.
In therapy, you can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where your full experience is welcome. Our work may include exploring attachment patterns, tending to different parts of yourself with care, processing past or present trauma, and rebuilding confidence in your instincts. The goal is not perfection, but a version of motherhood that feels more sustainable, honest, and aligned with your values.
Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for deeper support, therapy can help you feel more like yourself again while navigating motherhood in a world that asks far too much of parents.
