For every season of motherhood

Wherever you are in the journey,
there is a place for you here.

As a mother of ten, I have lived the full arc of motherhood from the first pregnancy to the empty nest. I understand these seasons from the inside, not just the textbook.

Early seasons of motherhood
Early motherhood

Pregnant or newly postpartum

Anxiety, overwhelm, and the fear that your own childhood will shape how you parent before you have even begun.

Active mothering

Raising young children

Old wounds surfacing in real time. The reactions you do not recognize and the disconnection you cannot explain.

The middle years

Parenting teens

The relationship grows more complex, the stakes feel higher, and your own adolescence may begin to echo in theirs.

Later seasons of motherhood
The working mom

Balancing career and family

The voice that says you are not doing enough at work or at home and the guilt that lives in the space between the two.

Staying home

The stay at home season

Isolation, loss of identity, and the weight of being present all day with the very relationship that needs the most healing.

Transition

The empty nest

When the children leave and the question of who you are outside of motherhood comes fully into view.

I am a mom of ten. I have held every one of these seasons myself.
I know what they cost and what they make possible.

Mother and baby
The mother wound

Motherhood is the most challenging job on the planet especially when you did not have a proper role model.

When your own mother was emotionally absent, it left gaps and insecurities that still shape how you show up for yourself and for your children.

The impact of an unmothered childhood runs deep. It imprints on your mind, your body, and your nervous system, quietly influencing how you mother.

But healing is possible.

A mother's healing becomes a gift, reconnecting generations through love and compassion. When you release what you have inherited, you become the mother you always needed.

How we work together

Therapy that goes where
talk alone cannot reach.

The wounds passed down from an emotionally unavailable mother are not stored in words. They are stored in the body, in automatic reactions, in patterns that run beneath awareness. The work we do together reaches all of it.

The foundation

Attachment Focused, Trauma Informed Therapy

Every session begins with safety. We move at your pace, building the trust and regulation your nervous system needs before going deeper into old wounds.

The method

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS helps you understand the parts of you that developed to survive your childhood. The perfectionist, the people pleaser, the one who shuts down. We heal them rather than fight them.

Accelerated healing

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy

For women ready to go deeper, KAP creates a window of neuroplasticity that allows long held patterns to shift at a pace traditional therapy cannot always reach.

Faith Informed Integration

For women whose spirituality is central to their healing, I offer faith informed therapy that honors your beliefs as a source of strength rather than something to set aside at the door. All backgrounds and beliefs are welcome here.

The cycle can end
with you.

You do not have to carry what was handed to you. You do not have to pass it on. Healing is not about becoming a perfect mother. It is about becoming a present one. When you are ready, I am here.
