Psychotherapy for mothers,
from pregnancy
through all seasons of parenting life
Emotional Support for the Parenting Years
Motherhood evokes profound joy — and profound challenge. The emotional landscape of raising children can stir up anxiety, anger, ambivalence, and what I call the maternal escape plan. At times, real grief surfaces, while the daily tasks of caregiving continue.
Feelings, even difficult ones, are not signs of failure, or that you’re doing things the wrong way. They are just signs that you are deeply engaged in a life-changing, identity-shaping experience.
While the parenting season can feel overwhelming and messy, it also holds the potential for deep personal growth, humility, generational healing, and wisdom.
Over the past twenty-five years working with mothers, I’ve come to believe this: compassion is often the answer to the hardest questions.
I help mothers grow self-compassion by making sense of the physiological, psychological, and environmental changes that shape this season of life. When you begin to understand what’s happening beneath the surface—at the root level—you become steadier, more grounded. The emotional winds still pass through your branches, but they no longer uproot you. Instead, you learn to bend, breathe, bow, and grow.
In therapy, one of our primary goals is to reconnect you with your inner strength and resilience — resources that will serve you not only in parenting, but in all of your relationships throughout life.
