Emotional Support for the Parenting Years

Motherhood is wild. It’s breathtakingly beautiful, and also deeply disorienting. Sometimes it’s like standing in a forest where the light breaks through in the most awe-inspiring ways, but the path beneath you is tangled and uneven.

The emotional terrain of raising kids? It’s gritty. Anxiety, anger, grief, guilt, confusion — even the urge to run away from it all (what I call the “maternal escape fantasy”) — these are not signs you’re doing it wrong. They’re signs you’re alive in the thick of it, rooted in one of life’s most transformative seasons.

Because parenting shakes you. It stirs the soil around your roots. It forces you to grow in ways you never expected. And while it can feel messy and relentless, it also holds the quiet magic of healing old wounds, softening hardened places, and stretching you toward wisdom.

Over the last twenty-five years of walking alongside mothers, I’ve learned this: compassion — especially for yourself — is often the medicine.

In our work together, we’ll untangle what’s happening underneath the surface. The hormonal shifts, the nervous system changes, the invisible cultural pressures — we’ll name them. When you understand what’s going on at the root level, you begin to feel more grounded. More steady. The storms don’t stop, but you start to sway with them instead of snapping.

Therapy is about understanding yourself all over again, as you raise your children. It’s re-wilding. It’s tending to your own inner ecosystem, so you can show up as the mother and the woman you want to be — strong, flexible, rooted, and real.
