Navigating motherhood is a continuous journey, marked by significant transitions in the body, mind, and soul. The experience brings unique challenges and revelations that require individuals to adapt and evolve. Creating spaces for self-reflection, sharing struggles, and celebrating achievements is crucial in my therapeutic space. I acknowledge the dichotomies of motherhood - the joy and pain, celebrations and grief, the rewards and loss, amongst many others.

The complexities of motherhood can make it challenging to navigate, all compounded by changes in priorities, family dynamics, boundaries, support systems, and so many other aspects of life. Many mothers seek a sense of connection, or REconnection—not only within their families but also within themselves. I am here to support you every step of the way, whether you are pregnant, postpartum, raising your first child or your fifth!

Engaging in therapy to address motherhood offers a unique opportunity to explore and understand the myriad emotions and experiences that come with this profound role. It can be as straightforward as creating a safe space to process your feelings, or it may involve delving into deeper complexities, such as examining the wounds linked to your own upbringing and experiences of being parented.

I provide a compassionate and accepting environment that honors your individual journey. In our sessions, we will work together to cultivate a strong connection to yourself, allowing you to identify and redefine your values. By embracing motherhood in a way that aligns with these values, we can collaboratively enhance maternal mental health. This approach supports not only your well-being but also fosters resilience and joy in your parenting experience.

Whether you are a first-time parent raising a newborn or navigating your child's teenage years, there is space for you in therapy. Parenting demands your energy and attention full-time, and I am here to support you. Many parents grapple with questions of whether they are doing it right, how to connect deeply with their child, or simply seek a space to process their experiences.

Therapy provides an opportunity to better understand your feelings and gain various perspectives on what might be happening for both you and your child. I offer a safe environment to explore the challenges and joys of parenting, allowing you to reflect on your experiences and emotions.

In our sessions, we can delve into your unique identity as a parent, the dynamics of your relationship with your child, and ways to foster deeper connections. This journey may involve discussing your aspirations, struggles, and the day-to-day realities of parenting, helping you to develop strategies that align with your family's values and needs. With a background rooted in attachment theory, I offer a unique lens to better understand your parenting experience. By exploring your individual needs and your experiences with your child, we can work together to foster strong and secure relationships, enhance open communication, and develop new perspectives that align you closer to your and your child's needs.

This process may involve implementing various behavioral strategies tailored to your family's dynamics, utilizing effective communication tools, and engaging in emotional processing to navigate the complexities of parenting. It’s important to recognize that you are not navigating this journey alone; there is support available to help you through the challenges you face. Together, we can cultivate an environment that promotes understanding and connection between you and your child. Reaching out support is a courageous step, and together we can work toward nurturing both your wellbeing and your relationship with your child.
