The transition into motherhood is about more than just birthing your baby (though that experience alone is incredibly profound); it is a complete metamorphosis. The shedding of the self and the creation of the self all at once. There isn’t a way to properly prepare for the experience, and there is also a massive gap in support and care for mothers during this transition. 

Together, we will examine and explore the ambivalence that has taken hold. The harsh realities of motherhood, including but not limited to— the inexplicable love and joy combined with the harrowing grief and anxiety. The panic googling, surviving only on air, coffee, and the love you have for your child. What was life like before this? Will I ever go back to that version of myself? Will I always feel like this?

I firmly believe that all of my clients are the experts of their own lives. Everything you seek is already within you, but sometimes the opinions, self-doubt, limiting beliefs (and more) become too loud. Where your voice once led you has now weakened or been silenced altogether. My role, as your therapist, is to serve as a guide. To travel with you to uncover what has become stifled. To reawaken your strength, vitality, and womanhood. It is an honor to walk alongside other women as they enter into matrescence.
