Therapy for Moms
Helping you navigate motherhood so you can
be the mom you’ve always wanted to be.
I get it.
Your children are the most important people in the world to you. You would do anything for them.
The most important thing to you is being a “good mom.” You want your children to be healthy and happy and thrive, and you want their childhood to be full of happy memories. You want them to want to hang out with you when they’re adults (and maybe even teenagers?) So you put them first.
You drive them to ALL THE THINGS, make sure you are on top of their medical appointments, playdates, homework, sports, and dance practices; you google “when are kids supposed to (walk, talk, read, run, tie their shoes?)”.
You love them.
You love being their mom.
But sometimes you find yourself wondering if that’s all you are lately.
When did I become just “so and so’s mom?”
Somewhere along the way, you lost yourself.
Maybe you are more frustrated or irritated with them than you care to admit. Or maybe you are noticing saying things that your mom used to say, and you want no part of that parenting style.
I know being a mom is hard. It’s also wonderful, complicated, joyous, and maddening.
And I also know that you got this.
Sometimes, we just need support along the way. Sometimes, our past resurfaces again when we become a parent; or anxiety about getting it “right” all the time comes up more often than we would like. Sometimes we get to a place where we realize we have to take care of ourselves, so we can take the best care of them. Not only does it benefit our children if we are feeling like our best selves, but it benefits us too. It’s okay for us to take the time we need to take care of ourselves.
Be the mother you want to be without losing yourself. Learn how to make space for yourself and your own identity while navigating motherhood AT THE SAME TIME.
