Therapy for Moms in Columbus and across Ohio

Helping you through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

 

A safe space for women in pregnancy, motherhood, and on their fertility journey to feel accepted, supported, and fulfilled.

Right now, you’re feeling…

Burnt out. Self-doubt. Mom guilt. Overwhelm.

You’ve been juggling to-do lists, anxious thoughts, and tiny little humans who need your undivided attention. You struggle to make it through the day and wonder how other mothers make it look so easy. You’re torn between needing to control all the things, including your baby, finances, and household, while also feeling frustrated that you’re 100% in charge. You’ve given so much of yourself to your family, or to create a family, that there’s not much left of you at the end of the day.

Becoming a mother or preparing to become a mother is the stuff of superheroes. You can take care of a newborn for hours, manage an entire household, orchestrate family get-togethers, and respond to a dozen e-mails, yet somehow keep your head on your shoulders all day. Still, with all this nurturing and caretaking, you’ve lost your identity, become disconnected from your body, forgotten about your social life, and watched your most important relationships begin to suffer.  

You know that things could be better, but you don’t know how to get there. 

I can help.

Imagine putting your baby or toddler down for the night and shifting into “me” time—without feeling guilty, or feeling like you need to be doing something. You could still take care of your day-to-day responsibilities, keep your day job, and take good care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Therapy with me can help you adjust to this new season of life, whether you’re preparing to have or grow your family, grieving the loss of your child, or figuring out how to balance being a mother and all the other parts of you.

You can begin to take good care of yourself and your needs. You can set healthier boundaries and protect your time and energy. You can fill your heart with joy and fulfillment and watch your social life and relationships flourish. You can begin to have fun again (I recommend it!). I help hard-working women and mothers like you gain insight and clarity so that you can get unstuck and live your best life.

I work from a trauma-focused approach where I help you heal from not only your current stresses, but also from the pain in your past. On your healing journey, we will “dig deep” so that you can feel less triggered, find relief, think more clearly, and know your worth.

FAQs for Moms

  • Ideally you would have space to just be and not have to be “on”. However I realize this isn’t always feasible. Mom life, right? The short answer is, yes of course you can bring your baby! This may be important to discuss further in order to see what is going to be best for your unique needs. I am happy to work with you on a case-by-case basis in order to ensure childcare does not prevent from getting the care and relief you have been longing for.

  • Absolutely! Motherhood has a way of stirring up a lot of things we didn’t even realize were there until we became a parent. We can’t always just talk or distract our way through this and hope it goes away or gets easier in the next season. Sometimes we find that we need to “reparent” ourselves in order to feel our best and be the parent we always envisioned we would be.
