Welcome!
I'm so glad you’re here. My passion is helping mothers not just cope but truly thrive in their motherhood journey. At MotherWise, I offer specialized psychotherapy services grounded in my clinical expertise and commitment to supporting mothers. With a degree in holistic psychotherapy and extensive training in trauma-focused approaches, I bring a comprehensive and empathetic perspective to our work together.
I currently only offer virtual psychotherapy sessions.
Credentials and Experience:
I hold a clinical degree in holistic psychotherapy, which allows me to integrate a wide range of therapeutic modalities tailored to your unique needs. Since 2019, I have worked with women and mothers, specializing in trauma and its impact on maternal well-being. My experience has equipped me to address the complexities of motherhood and provide effective support.
Psychotherapy
In our sessions, you can expect a safe, supportive space where we work collaboratively and at your pace. We’ll focus on what feels most pressing for you—whether that’s stress, anxiety, trauma, or feeling disconnected from yourself since becoming a mother. My goal is to help you better understand what’s happening internally while building practical tools that support regulation, clarity, and resilience in daily life.
Motherhood can surface old wounds, amplify self-doubt, and leave little room to tend to your own emotional needs. Together, we’ll gently explore these layers with compassion, making space for both healing and growth. This work isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you feel more grounded, integrated, and supported as you navigate this season of life.
Internal Family Systems (IFS): IFS helps you understand and relate to the different parts of yourself—especially the ones that feel overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck—so you can move toward greater self-compassion and internal balance.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): EMDR supports the processing of past experiences that may still be impacting you today, reducing emotional intensity and allowing for a more integrated, grounded perspective.
What to Expect
If you've ever said, "I don’t feel like myself" since becoming a mom, it might mean you’re going through a big change in how you see yourself, aka an identity shift. As you take on the role of a mother, you might feel like you’re losing who you used to be, which can bring up feelings of sadness, confusion, and disconnection. The added responsibilities and pressures can feel like too much, leading to stress, exhaustion, and self-doubt. Your relationships with your partner, family, and friends might also shift, sometimes causing feelings of loneliness or tension. Trying to balance who you were with who you’re becoming can be confusing and can make it even harder to feel mentally stable.
This kind of identity shift isn’t a sign that something is wrong with you—it’s a natural response to a life-altering transition. Becoming a mother asks you to reorganize your priorities, your time, your body, and your inner world, often without much space to grieve what’s changed. Parts of you that once felt alive, spontaneous, or independent may feel quieter or harder to access right now. And that can be deeply unsettling. You’re not broken—you’re in the middle of a transformation, and transitions often feel destabilizing before they begin to make sense.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. With the right support, it’s possible to make sense of these changes, reconnect with yourself, and feel more grounded in who you are becoming. I work with mothers in this in-between space—holding both who you were and who you’re growing into—so you can feel steadier, more resourced, and more like you again, even as everything continues to shift.
