Support for finding yourself again, and navigating the demands of modern motherhood without burning yourself out. 

Motherhood is full of contradictions. It’s beautiful and frustrating. Joyful and sad. Full of love and lonely at times. 

It’s not just you.  The current societal demands on mothers to be “perfect” and “have it all together” are real and too much for anyone.  

This is a space for mothers of toddlers, school-aged kids, teens, and beyond who want to challenge what you’ve been told about being a “good mother”. Imagine no longer settling for “managing through” motherhood and finding space for yourself without guilt.

The Expectations are Too Much

Even when you love your children, the emotional and mental toll of motherhood can feel overwhelming. You may be:

• Burned out from trying to meet everyone’s needs and neglecting your own

• Rarely resting or actually feeling relaxed  

• Feeling invisible in your family or that your only role is to serve them 

• Struggling with rage, resentment, and guilt

• Feeling overwhelmed with the mental load of managing your children and household, on repeat day after day

• Wishing your partner or support system acknowledged all the invisible work and wanting to redistribute the work of kids and home 

These are not signs you are “failing”. They’re signs that you’ve been doing too much, for too long, with too little support.

Modern Motherhood=Unsustainable Intensive Mothering

In our society, we tell moms to:

• Parent like they don’t work

• Work like they don’t parent

• Be the source of joy and calm at home while keeping everything running behind the scenes

And still be grateful, calm, and totally fulfilled with your role as “mom”. It’s not a surprise so many mothers feel burnt out, resentful, or like they’re losing themselves.

This isn’t just a personal issue — it’s a systemic one. Therapy offers a place to name it, feel it, and find your own way to “do” motherhood. 

In Therapy, We’ll Talk About:

• Revisiting who you were before motherhood and finding who you are now outside of motherhood

• Setting boundaries in your relationships

• Learning how to really rest and relax, what it takes to meet your own needs

• Exploring your values, identity, and voice

• Processing grief, resentment, or regret in a safe, judgment-free space

• Challenging your beliefs about being the “perfect mother” and learning how to push back on outside pressures to be “perfect” in your mothering 

Ready to take care of yourself? That’s all that’s needed to start this journey.
