Finding peace with the mom you actually are.
Book a Free 15-Minute ConsultationYou wanted this. You love your kids. And somehow, you still find yourself in the middle of an ordinary Tuesday wondering, when did I stop feeling like myself?
Maybe you feel guilty for not feeling happier. Maybe you’re exhausted in a way that sleep doesn’t fix. Maybe you’re going through the motions of a life that looks beautiful on the outside while quietly wondering where you went. Maybe you feel resentment and then guilt about the resentment, cycling through both on repeat.
You are not broken. You are not a bad mother. You are in the middle of one of the most profound identity transformations a woman can go through, and almost nobody prepares you for it.
Book a Free 15-Minute ConsultationIt’s called matrescence, the developmental process of becoming a mother. Just like adolescence marks the transition from childhood to adulthood, matrescence marks the transition into motherhood. It reshapes your identity, your relationships, your sense of purpose, and your understanding of who you are.
And unlike adolescence, nobody really talks about it.
Matrescence doesn’t just happen once. It can happen with your first baby, your second, your third. It can resurface when you return to work, when your kids grow up, when you find yourself in a new season of motherhood you weren’t prepared for. It is not a phase to push through. It is a transformation that deserves real support.
The guilt you feel, the grief for your former self, the exhaustion that goes deeper than tired, the love that coexists with resentment, all of it makes sense. And all of it can be worked through.
Therapy for motherhood and identity is not about becoming a different kind of mother. It’s about finding peace with the mother you actually are.
In our work together, we’ll create space for the feelings you haven’t been able to say out loud. The resentment. The guilt. The grief. The love. All of it is welcome here, without judgment.
We’ll explore who you were before motherhood, who you are becoming, and how to hold both of those things at once. We’ll work through the patterns that are keeping you stuck, the people-pleasing, the perfectionism, the impossibly high standard you hold yourself to. And we’ll build a clearer, more compassionate relationship with yourself so you can show up for your family from a place of wholeness rather than depletion.
I bring a warm, integrative, person-centered approach to this work, drawing from a range of evidence-based methods to meet you exactly where you are. And I bring something else too: I’m a mother myself. I know what it feels like to love your children with your whole heart and still wonder where you went. That lived experience shapes every session, as I share more on my About page.

You belong here. The identity shifts of motherhood do not have an expiration date, and it is never too late to find your way back to yourself. If anxiety is also part of what you’re navigating, see Pregnancy & Postpartum Anxiety, or if you’re looking for community with other mothers, visit the Groups page.
