Motherhood can be a deeply meaningful and transformative experience, but it can also bring unexpected emotions, challenges, and parts of ourselves to the surface. The transition into motherhood often changes how we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.

​

The transition into motherhood—often referred to as matrescence—is an ongoing process of becoming. It is not just about caring for a child; it is also about discovering who you are within this new chapter of life. Many mothers find themselves asking: “Am I the only mother who feels overwhelmed by the constant mental load?” “Why am I reacting so strongly to certain moments?” “How do I break patterns from my own upbringing and create something different?”

​

Motherhood can also bring our own experiences to the surface. As we care for our children, we may become more aware of the ways we were cared for, the needs that were or were not met, and the beliefs we developed about ourselves and our worth. Old patterns, fears, or protective parts of ourselves may emerge—not because we are failing, but because motherhood has a way of highlighting the places within us that may need compassion and healing.

​

Through a trauma-informed approach, I support mothers in exploring these deeper layers while also addressing the very real challenges that can come with motherhood, including anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, changing relationships, and feeling disconnected from yourself.

​

In my work with mothers, I draw from both clinical experience and personal understanding of the complexity of this transition. I believe mothers deserve a space where they can feel seen, supported, and less alone—not judged by another set of expectations about who they should be.

Therapy can be a place to slow down, reconnect with yourself, process the experiences that have shaped you, and develop greater self-trust as you move through the many seasons of motherhood.
