For the Mother You're Still Becoming.
Motherhood often carries joy and grief side by side. This transition — known as Matrescence — is a profound transformation of identity, body, heart, and mind. Whether you're in the tender early days after birth or years into parenting, it's natural to feel surprised by the emotional depth this season brings.
Therapy offers a gentle space to honor this becoming — to sit with what's shifting, and to reconnect with yourself as you move through motherhood with greater clarity and compassion.
Together, We Will:
-
Support you in navigating postpartum anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma.
-
Make meaning of your birth experience—whether it felt empowering, frightening, or both.
-
Shifting dynamics with partners, other children, parents, or friends.
-
Create space to speak openly about what feels heavy, without judgment.
-
Gently acknowledge the ambivalence, grief, or mixed emotions you may be struggling with.
-
Tend to changes in identity, your relationship with your bod, and shifts in partnership dynamics.
-
When and if you choose, we can explore how your early caregiving experiences shape your approach to motherhood today.
-
Navigate the emotional weight of feeding decisions—and release the shame or pressure that so often accompanies them.
-
Process the complicated emotions that can arise when pregnancy follows a loss or a previous difficult birth.
Group Offerings
Once or twice a year, I facilitate a postpartum group for new mothers seeking shared support during this transition.
