Welcome — I'm so glad you're here.
Honestly? I love working with mothers. And it's not just professional — it's personal.
Becoming a mother myself was soul-shaking and mind-expanding in ways I never could have anticipated. It cracked me open. And one of the things I learned quickly? You don't lose yourself a little — you lose yourself a lot. And sometimes, finding your way back is really, really hard.
That's exactly why I do this work.
At MotherWise, I show up as both a therapist and a fellow mama. I bring years of clinical training to our work together, but I also bring the lived experience of knowing what it feels like to be deep in it — stretched thin, unsure of who you are outside of motherhood, and desperately needing someone who truly gets it.
I want to be that person for you.
I specialize in working with women and mothers, with a particular focus on trauma and how it shapes our experience of motherhood. My background in holistic psychotherapy means I don't take a one-size-fits-all approach — I meet you where you are and tailor our work to what you actually need.
I have been working with mothers since 2019, and this work remains the most meaningful thing I do.
I currently offer both virtual and in-person psychotherapy sessions.
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.
