You imagined motherhood would bring nothing but joy, but instead you find yourself torn between the love you feel for your child and the quiet grief of losing the “old you.” The sleepless nights, the endless responsibilities, the pressure to hold it all together—some days it feels like too much. You miss having space for your own dreams, for your own voice, for the version of you who felt alive outside of being “Mom.” What you truly want is balance: to care for your child w/ love & intention, while still honoring your identity, passions & goals. You long to feel whole again, to know you haven’t lost yourself—you’re simply becoming.
I help women navigate the emotional shifts that come with new responsibilities and life transitions. In therapy, you’ll find a safe space to process your feelings, reduce anxiety or depression, and reconnect with yourself. My approach blends empathy with practical tools, reminding you that motherhood doesn’t end your dreams—it expands them.
You don’t have to carry this season alone. Your story doesn’t stop at “Mommy”—it continues with your voice, your goals, and your healing. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you rediscover balance, confidence, and joy. If you’re ready to reclaim your sense of self and write the next chapter with intention, let’s take this step together.
