counseling for parenting stresses, overwhelm, and loss of identity
you never thought you would you’d be the parent who lost their cool. now it feels like you are walking on eggshells waiting for you or your kids to erupt. you’re falling into parenting habits you experienced as a child and swore you would never repeat. every morning you wake up hoping things will be different but you are already worn so thin.
you love being a mother, but you are so deep in mom mode that you have completely lost any sense of your identity. you feel enraged when your partner participates in their weekly hobby but if you’re being honest, you wouldn’t know what to do with the free time if you took it for yourself. you want to feel fulfilled and excited about your life, but you get the sense that you got off track somewhere along the way.
most of my clients experiencing a loss of identity in motherhood, struggle to take the time to reconnect with themselves, and feel overwhelmed by parenting stress.
i help my clients feel seen, balanced, and fulfilled.
