Society tells us motherhood should feel joyous and effortless from the start but this is not always individuals’ experience. The transition into parenting can feel overwhelming and exhausting. While you may be excited about the changes, it is also common to long for the life you had before. This period presents unique challenges that deserve acknowledgment and processing.
Hormonal shifts during pregnancy and after childbirth can exacerbate mood changes and emotions. The growing pains of motherhood are common but at times can feel overwhelming and cause increased feelings of anxiety or depression, isolation, anger and frustration. I am here to help you find balance and a deeper connection with yourself by providing a compassionate space to explore your experiences and emotions. Together, we can work through the unique challenges you face during this time and work towards a healthier, happier motherhood.
Anxiety can show up in many forms, from constant worry and racing thoughts to physical symptoms like tension, fatigue, and a rapid heartbeat. It can make it hard to focus, interfere with sleep or even lead to avoidance of certain situations. I help individuals understand and manage their unique experience of anxiety, exploring its roots and patterns while building practical skills to regain control. Together, we will work to empower you to move through life with more confidence and calm.
