Therapy for Mothers in Austin

And virtually throughout Texas

You are breaking generational cycles while also reparenting yourself. It is hard work and you deserve support and care.

Your body learned to survive. Now it can learn to feel safe.

Motherhood is one of the most intense, beautiful, challenging, and magical things we can experience in this life. Mothers deserve so much support, compassion, and love as we navigate this journey.

When we have not been mothered in the the way we needed and we didn’t have any examples of unconditional love and nurturing, we have to learn it as we go. Reparenting ourselves and doing our own healing while also breaking generational cycles of trauma can be exhausting. It can feel like no one else understands how hard you are working every day!

When we work together, you will be offered an opportunity to explore where you have been and where you want to go, while learning what it is like to connect with your body and tap into the mothering intuition that is held there. Our sessions will be a place to explore the little parts of you that weren’t welcomed in the past and we will welcome them with compassion and care. I have been so privileged to do this work with clients and see how it translates to deeper connection with themselves and their children.

What this can feel like on the inside

  • You are patient all day and then snap at bedtime over something small.

  • Your child’s crying does not just stress you, it sets off something closer to panic or rage.

  • You cannot stand being touched by the end of the day and then you feel horrible about it.

  • You cannot let anyone help, even though you are overwhelmed and feel like you are barely keeping your head above water.

  • You feel so lonely and isolated.

  • It’s hard to feel joyful.

  • You perform being fine so well that no one knows, including your partner.

  • You watch yourself do the exact thing you swore you would never do.

  • You feel guilty when you enjoy something that is not your child.

  • You have no idea who you are anymore.

  • You are angry at your mother in a way you never were before you had your own.

  • You are so deeply exhausted and feel like you can’t keep going this way.

None of this makes you a bad mother, it makes you human. When we have children the age that we were when things felt unsafe our nervous system may not fully separate then from now. What may rise in you is old material held in your nervous system that you didn’t get a chance to process. That is part of the work that we will do together.

It is also exhausting in a way no one seems to understand, because you are parenting against the way you experientially learned to parent, all day while running on empty. That pattern changes when you feel safe enough to slow down and be with your body and inner parts. Together we listen to them, welcome them, and tap into the goodness that has been there all along.
