You found the way forward for them. Let’s find it for you.
You've spent years finding the path forward for everyone else — for your kids, through every stage and every crisis — and somewhere along the way, you lost track of your own.
If you've found yourself wondering “Where did I go?”… you're not alone, and you're not doing it wrong.
Many mothers reach a point where they can't quite remember who they were before "Mom" became the loudest part of their identity. This isn't a flaw in you — it's a real psychological shift and it deserves the same attention as any major life transition.
We'll work on reconnecting with the parts of you that motherhood didn't erase, even if they've been quiet for a while.
Not choosing between yourself and your kids but making room for both.
Why is this so hard though? Shouldn’t I always feel happy and fulfilled?
Am I the problem?
The mental load.
The guilt.
Whether you're working too much or not enough, too involved or not present enough.
The pressure to make it look easy.
Many mothers carry this invisible weight while believing they're the only ones who feel this tired.
We'll look honestly at where that pressure comes from, what's actually yours to carry, and what you can start setting down
You are not the problem. Mothering is hard at all stages:
New motherhood: identity shifts, relationship changes, the loss of unstructured time
The middle years: juggling career, kids, and partnership while your own needs wait
The empty nest transition: visit our Empty Nest page for that specific season
Midlife: figuring out who you are now, on the other side of the years that consumed you
Wherever you are, the work is the same at its core: making space for you to exist as a full person, not just a role.
How I help guide…
Lived experience
I won’t tell you that you should feel grateful, that you’re doing great, that you’re doing it wrong, or that this phase will fly by. You already hear enough of that.
I raised six children to adulthood, and I know what it is to feel lost, overwhelmed, confused and under such a weight of guilt that you feel unable to find your footing. I have felt like I disappeared into the role for years at a time — and what it takes to find the way back to a sense of self. That journey wasn’t quick or tidy, and I don’t expect yours to be either.
Clinical training and approach
We’ll use your values as a guide to reconnect with what actually matters to you, using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), compassion-focused therapy, psychoeducation, and mindfulness/somatic techniques to work with the guilt, exhaustion, and loss of self that so often go unacknowledged in motherhood.
We’ll orient toward self-compassion, a stronger sense of your own identity, and real connection — to yourself, and to the people you love.
