MOTHERHOOD IS HARD.

You are overwhelmed and isolated.  Life with little ones is simultaneously overstimulating and numbing.  The physical, emotional, and energetic demands on you and your time are too much.  The mental load drains you and you can’t turn off the never-ending to-do list streaming through your head. It feels impossible to create time for yourself or even string together a coherent thought of your own.    

we don’t have enough support.

Motherhood is hard, but it shouldn’t be as hard as it is in America.  The reality of our collective experience is that American motherhood is untenable.  We don’t have enough support.  We aren’t supposed to do it all alone. Our system and culture are not set up to support mothers and birthing people navigate pregnancy, postpartum, or motherhood.  So many mothers feel alone and invisible, struggling to get through the day without the village we desperately need.

Matrescence.

Matrescence is the process of becoming a mother, and it is a transformative physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual, and energetic journey.  The initiation into motherhood can be a deeply isolating and grueling experience for so many.  You not only birthed a child, you birthed a mother: a new version of yourself has emerged and the old version is long gone. Part of your journey is to grieve the previous version of yourself while you settle into, and eventually, celebrate this new iteration of yourself.

You are not alone.

Emotional support and mental health care is crucial throughout the transition to motherhood, from pre-conception to life with little ones.  I offer a warm and nurturing space where you can be honest and vulnerable about your experiences in parenthood. You can let it all go with a licensed therapist who has professional and lived experiences navigating the rollercoaster of pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood.  You are not alone.  You're worth the time to invest in your own healing and growth.
