RECLAIM YOURSELF BEYOND MOTHERHOOD

Therapy for Moms in Parker and across CO.

As a mom there’s pressure to have it all together and look good while doing it.

When you’ve got a few minutes to yourself and find yourself scrolling social media only to be inundated with flawless images of moms in perfectly decorated, spotless houses, baking pinterest worthy treats, all while balancing a career. Beneath it all is a deep sense of inadequacy and feeling of “i’m not enough”.


Your sense of self may be fraying at the edges leaving you feeling inadequate in so many aspects of life and reacting in ways you don’t recognize. There is an ever present disconnect between who you want to be and who you are able to be right now. It can feel impossible to be the best version of yourself whether it's as a professional, a parent, spouse, or friend. Life feels defined by self-criticism and anxiety and your experiences only seem to reinforce this belief.

Maybe you already have kids…

From the outside looking in you appear to be the one who holds everything together, the pillar of strength for your family and friends but in reality cracks are beginning to show. Exhaustion and burnout tug at you like a relentless tide and you keep wondering “is this really it” or “am I a bad mom?”.

Maybe motherhood has left you struggling to reconcile the love you feel for your children with the overwhelming feeling of responsibility and stress. You’re in a fog of never-ending sleepless nights, school lunches, daycare drop offs and are wondering “am I doing this all wrong?” Guilt washes over you every time you fantasize about a different life or taking time for yourself to just breathe.

Or you’re longing to be a mom and the journey is not what you imagined it would be… 

You fantasized and dreamed of a positive pregnancy test and instead are left fraught, grieving, or uncertain. Each month chips away at your sense of hope, lost in comparison with others who have what you’ve desired most. Each month feels like a betrayal and leaves you wondering “why is this happening to me?”

Let’s Find Balance, Heal, and Grow

Imagine waking up feeling a little bit lighter like a weight has been lifted from your shoulders. Instead of dreading the day ahead you feel equipped to handle the chaos of motherhood. You feel in control of your response to your kids’ tantrums or disagreements with your partner. The guilt that you used to feel when you took a moment to yourself has dissipated and is replaced with a sense of permission to prioritize yourself. You start to experience more moments of joy that had previously been overlooked - like laughing with your child, a hot cup of coffee, or connecting with your partner.

In our sessions, you’ll have the space to unpack the weight you have been carrying for so long. Here your struggles will always be met with compassion, understanding, and validation. Let’s move from overwhelmed to a place of clarity and self-acceptance. This is accomplished by providing a safe space and tools for you to release all that you’re carrying instead of feeling hijacked by your thoughts.

Oftentimes we are impacted by underlying beliefs, past experiences, or unresolved trauma that subconsciously drive our day-to-day experience. I’ll work with you to dive deeper into these using approaches like EMDR and parts work to address these wounds in a holistic and compassionate way.

By exploring your values, strengths, and boundaries we’ll work toward empowering you to rebuild your sense of self and rediscover who you are. If you’re working through conflict with your parents, partner, or children, I can provide effective communication techniques to help set boundaries and express your needs.

Therapy won’t make the demands of motherhood disappear but it will shift the way you move through your day, helping you feel more grounded, present, and more like you again.

FAQs:

  • While baby blues and postpartum depression both involve changes in mood after birth the main difference lies in the duration, intensity, and severity.

PPD is more long lasting and can include feelings of persistent sadness, hopelessness, difficulty bonding with a baby, unable to sleep, changes in eating, and thoughts of hurting yourself.

  • According to Postpartum Support International it is estimated that 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men suffer from postpartum depression or anxiety. If you suspect that you or a loved one may be struggling with postpartum depression or anxiety please reach out for support.
