When motherhood looks different than you imagined
If your experience of becoming a mom hasn’t felt the way you thought it would, you’re not alone.
You might still be trying to make sense of what happened during your pregnancy, birth, or postpartum.
And at the same time, carrying grief for how different this has all felt or for the version of motherhood you thought you’d have.
For many moms, there’s also a quiet layer of guilt or self-blame. Wondering if you did something wrong, or if you should be handling this better than you are.
You’re showing up every day, taking care of your baby and doing what needs to be done, while inside, you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or not quite like yourself.
This is something I see in so many of the moms I work with, especially after birth trauma, NICU experiences, infertility, loss, or unexpected medical challenges.
At MotherThrive Therapy, I support you in gently processing what you’ve been through, calming your nervous system, and rebuilding trust in yourself as a mother.
So you can start to feel more grounded, more connected, and more like yourself again.
You don’t have to keep carrying this on your own
Trying to heal from a hard start to motherhood can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re holding trauma, anxiety, grief, or the ongoing stress of your child’s medical needs.
In our work together, we’ll slow things down and gently make sense of what you’ve been through. So you’re not stuck replaying it, second-guessing yourself, or carrying it all in your body.

I specialize in supporting moms who are carrying the weight of a hard experience, whether that’s birth trauma, postpartum anxiety, infertility, loss, or navigating life as a medical mom.
As a recovering perfectionist, I understand how much pressure moms carry to hold it all together. In our work, we’ll focus on helping you process what you’ve been through, feel more steady, and trust yourself again.
