THE Motherload: what I call the mental load of motherhood. This is what is consuming your thoughts day and night. You are the person responsible for keeping your family’s lives together. There is a never-ending to do list that leaves you feeling overwhelmed and burnt-out. You want to be the happy, engaged parent but often feel irritated and angry. There's no time for self-care and “me time” is going to the bathroom without a kid hanging onto your leg. You are struggling to find any joy in parenthood and yearn for a break. On top of it all you feel like a failure for not being able to handle it all and guilty for feeling this way.

There are so many things we dedicate ourselves to – a career path, an education, our significant other, or our children. A guitar riff, a wave, or a project or hobby. But something I see all the time with the most intelligent and curious people is that they forget to apply that same dedication to themselves. Most people come to therapy because they’re struggling with their emotions, a challenging relationship or a life transition. Beyond that, there’s always something deeper that shapes the way that we feel. And it’s only by delving into ourselves with professional guidance that we can find a way forward in truly changing our lives.

Finding a therapist can be a stressful process. The majority of my clients are brand new to therapy and appreciate having someone who can lead them through the process. I tailor my approach to the client, whether it be long-term care or shorter, more solution-focused therapy.

Your child may be constantly questioning their decisions, doubting their choices, or worrying about the future. They might feel frustrated when coping skills that work for others don’t seem to work for them. Anxiety could be affecting their sleep, causing restlessness, irritability, or physical symptoms like stomachaches and headaches. They may avoid social situations, struggle with concentration, or have a hard time managing schoolwork and daily responsibilities. Anxiety and fear could be holding them back from trying new things or doing what’s necessary.
