For every season.
Counseling for Becoming & Being a Mom
No matter what season you are in, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Maybe you’re wondering if you’re even ready to be a parent. Maybe you’re in the thick of it, desperately trying to hold everything together. Or maybe you’re years in and realizing you’ve gotten lost along the way. Wherever you are, this is a space to slow down, be honest about the roller coaster motherhood is, and find confidence no matter what season you are in.
Let’s talk if you Are you feeling…
Anxious about entering motherhood or adding to your family
Overwhelmed by the pressure to “get it right” and worried you aren’t doing enough
Excitement, joy, and gratitude…but also exhausted, lost, and unsure of yourself
Motherhood is a journey that evolves with every season.
Everything about becoming and being a mom has the potential to stir up anxiety. There are no rules, no “right way,” and what works brilliantly with one child might not work at all with the next.
Each stage brings new joys, challenges, and questions about who you are and what you need.
Let this be a space where you can pause, breathe, and find your footing again.

Deciding whether or not to become a mom can bring up more emotions than you expect. It’s a huge, life-changing decision!
Even a long-awaited or carefully planned pregnancy can bring moments of doubt, fear, or grief for the life you’re leaving behind.
And if motherhood wasn’t part of your plan, those feelings can be even more complicated.
I’m here to help explore what this season means for you, to sort through mixed emotions with compassion, and to begin finding a sense of peace in whatever path lies ahead.

If you read my About page you know that I unexpectedly found myself staring at an ultrasound marked “Baby A” and “Baby B.”
Finding out that you’re having twins (or more) can be absolutely disorienting and overwhelming.
Suddenly, everything you imagined about motherhood shifts - double the joy, double the demands, and double the worry.
I’m here to help process the sometimes conflicting emotions that come with raising multiples, to help you find balance amid the chaos, and to help you truly feel that you don’t have to do it all perfectly (or alone).

No one can really prepare you for how much life changes after having a baby. Your routines, your relationships, your body, and your sense of self all evolve.
Amid the seemingly never-ending feedings, exhaustion, and constant “am I doing this right?” thoughts, it’s easy to lose sight of your own needs and to feel completely unmoored. Throw in family members’ thoughts and opinions and the overwhelm can become unbearable. If there was ever a time in life for overthinking, this may be it!
Counseling provides you with a space to slow down, work through the transition, find confidence in your new role, and discover a transformed version of yourself.
Remember - caring for yourself is caring for your baby, too.
-
Motherhood doesn’t necessarily get easier with time, it just changes. Each season brings new moments to cherish and new hurdles to navigate.
You may be juggling ever-changing kids, shifting roles, or rediscovering who you are outside of being “mom.” It’s okay to feel both grateful and worn out, proud and frustrated.
You may find yourself longing for the days when your child’s problems were “easy” to solve or suddenly no longer recognize the child in front of you.
Counseling provides a space for support as you encounter the new challenges and stresses that each season brings. Let’s work to calm your mind as you encounter the ups and downs of the parenting journey.
At the end of the day, I want you to know:
There’s no perfect version of motherhood - just the one that fits you and your family.
