Therapy for Mothers Ready to Find Themselves Again

In-person somatic therapy in Austin and virtual therapy across Texas for mothers who want to enjoy motherhood without losing themselves in the process.

The way you've always gotten through life may not be working anymore.

Before motherhood, maybe you could push through exhaustion, anticipate everyone's needs, keep everything moving, and tell yourself you'd rest later.

Maybe that worked for a long time.

Until it didn't.

Motherhood has a way of exposing the difference between what was actually working for us and what we were simply really good at surviving.

Many of the mothers I work with are thoughtful, capable women who are deeply committed to doing things differently. They've read the books, listened to the podcasts, and thought a lot about how they want to parent.

But they're putting so much pressure on themselves to get it right that they're exhausted. Sometimes they're so overwhelmed that the things they know would help—moving their body, seeing friends, cleaning the house, making themselves a decent meal, taking a damn break—start to feel impossible.

The problem isn't that you don't know enough.

You may be trying so hard not to fail that your nervous system is stuck in survival mode.

Your own stuff comes with you into motherhood.

You can know you don't want to repeat what happened in your childhood and still hear your parent's voice come out of your mouth.

You can believe in boundaries and still feel terrible when your child is upset with you.

You can know your child is allowed to have big feelings and still feel your entire body screaming, Make this stop.

That's the stuff I'm interested in.

Not helping you become a perfect mother. Helping you understand what's happening inside of you so you have more choice when the hard moments come.

We'll work with the perfectionism, guilt, anger, grief, old attachment wounds, and enormous pressure you may be carrying. We'll also make room for something that can get lost in all the trying:

Actually enjoying your life with your child.

I draw from Somatic Experiencing®, EMDR, IFS, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and trauma-conscious yoga to help us work with these patterns beyond insight alone.

You don't have to stop caring deeply about your child.

You just don't have to disappear while loving them.

If you're ready to feel more like yourself again, I'd love to meet you.

I offer virtual therapy for mothers in Texas, Missouri and Utah
