in-person and virtual therapy for mothers and their young children throughout texas
I help mothers of young (and not-so-young) children care for themselves without guilt.
Despite being smart, supported, and resourceful, motherhood has been hard. As in, knock-you-to-your-knees hard. You anticipated the sleepless nights, the sweet snuggles, and the inevitable learning curve that comes with raising a new human. You did not expect the wave of self-doubt and guilt to come along with it.
When my clients first come in, they feel exhausted, unappreciated, and unsure of themselves in this phase of life.
They’re overwhelmed with painful experiences from their past that have all of a sudden taken a front seat in their thought spirals, keeping them from being present with their children. They are at the end of their rope, and are quick to turn to frustration and anger with their loved ones. They worry that they aren’t showing up as their best selves for their kids, and feel guilty for not being a “better” mom.
Thriving in motherhood is possible.
Hey there, I’m Sarah.
Like my clients, you deserve to feel confident that you can weather the chaos of motherhood, feel safe asking for support when you need it most, and find the time to care for yourself between diaper changes and drop-offs. Feeling worthy, fulfilled, and capable is not out of your reach. I’m here to empower my clients with skills, insight, and support to ensure they can invest in themselves the way they are already investing in their families. This is a practice without judgment, rooted in loving, honest partnership to get you closer to the life and person you envision for yourself.

How I Help
Therapy for New Moms
Like the good student you are, you read all the books, followed the postpartum accounts, and attended the birthing class. You felt prepared, and in many ways you were, but motherhood still hit you like a ton of bricks. You need safety and support to untangle your confusing (and sometimes alarming) thoughts and emotions.
Parenting Through Trauma
you edit yourself so much throughout the day to tend to the needs of others that you’re not sure there’s anything left of you. despite all you give, you worry about how you are showing up for your loved ones. you want to feel more grounded and confident navigating the turbulence of parenting while making space for yourself.
