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 environment where we work collaboratively to address your concerns. Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, or trauma, my goal is to provide you with tools and insights that foster healing and growth. While my approach is personalized to fit your needs, the integration of IFS and EMDR will be a cornerstone of our work together.
If you’re looking for compassionate and expert support in navigating the challenges of motherhood, I’m here to help guide you on your path to emotional well-being and balance.
Internal Family Systems (IFS): This approach helps you explore and understand different parts of yourself, facilitating healing and integration. IFS is instrumental in addressing internal conflicts and enhancing self-compassion.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): EMDR is a proven method for processing and alleviating the impact of traumatic experiences. It helps in reducing distress and integrating traumatic memories into a healthier 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.
If this resonates with you, know that I can support you through these challenges. Stay tuned for my upcoming workbook, Becoming: A 108-Day Journey to Embrace Your Evolving Identity in Motherhood, releasing Winter 2024. This resource is designed to guide you in navigating and embracing the transformative journey of motherhood.
