Rediscover and nurture yourself.
Compassionate therapy for moms.
Online parenting support and therapy for mothers across Illinois and in-person in Chicago, helping you navigate the mental load of parenting, heal from past wounds, and reclaim a sense of self amid the demands of modern motherhood.
You’re exhausted from juggling it all—parenting, relationships, work, and the invisible load that never seems to lighten.
Maybe you’re noticing…
You snap over small things—then feel awful for not being more patient.
The pressure to be the “perfect mom” is exhausting, yet you still feel like you’re not doing enough.
You dream of a few hours to yourself, but when the opportunity finally comes, you feel guilty for needing space.
You’re buried under the mental load—trying to remember everything from doctor’s appointments to school events, yet still feel behind.
Old family dynamics and unresolved trauma are showing up, and you're repeating patterns you swore you'd never carry into your own family.
You’re ready to embrace the ebb and flow of motherhood, nurturing both your family and yourself with grace, intention, and confidence.
Therapy offers a safe space to untangle the beautiful, messy complexities of motherhood.
Motherhood is a journey that weaves through constant change—those sleepless nights cradling a newborn, the boundless energy of toddlers, the emotional dance of raising teens, and the bittersweet quiet of an empty nest. Together, we’ll pause and explore how your past influences your parenting and how you can show up—gently, intentionally, and with a deeper sense of presence—through each evolving chapter.
Alongside this, we’ll focus on rediscovering yourself. You’ll learn to offer yourself the same compassion, grace, and patience you so naturally extend to others. With simple yet powerful tools to steady your heart, manage stress, and ride the emotional highs and lows, you’ll find your balance—caring for your family while honoring your own needs. Slowly, you’ll begin to uncover the pieces of yourself that spark joy, reignite your sense of purpose, and nourish the inner strength that’s been there all along.
