Helping Stressed, Overwhelmed Moms
Heal the hard stuff. Release the Pressure. Show Up as the Mom You Want to Be.
Does this sound familiar?
Finding yourself overwhelmed, exhausted, in a constant state of worry, stretched too thin, and running on empty? Maybe you tend to bend over backwards to try to meet everyone else’s needs and expectations of you only to constantly feel like you fall short. You are the glue that holds everything and everyone together. Maybe you’re okay with that…until you’re not. The pressure and burn out is starting to get to you.
What if it didn’t have to be this way? What if it is possible to quiet that inner critic, prioritize your own needs unapologetically, and finally rid yourself of the debilitating stress, overwhelm, guilt, and self-doubt that is holding you back.
You are a woman or maybe a mom who gives 110% to everything you do in life. But you’re realizing that the rate you’re going isn’t working anymore and isn’t sustainable. You’re pouring from an empty cup and you logically know that it doesn’t have to be this way but you are exhausted and frustrated and don’t know where to even begin. If this is you or sounds familiar, then you are in the right place. You can heal and finally get the relief you have been longing for. It can be different. You can feel different.
You have come to the right place. Go from surviving to thriving.
Hi, I’m Abbie!
I help women untangle the pressures of modern motherhood so they can actually enjoy life again, feel like themselves, & be the kind of mom they want to be.
Most of the moms I work with are overwhelmed, anxious, and constantly second-guessing themselves—often former Type A, recovering perfectionists who never imagined motherhood would feel this heavy. Maybe starting your family didn’t go the way you thought it would (fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, birth trauma), maybe the “village” you expected never showed up, or maybe you’re realizing motherhood has stirred up old wounds from your own childhood.
With a trauma-focused lens—using EMDR, therapy intensives, and parts work (IFS)—I help moms heal the pieces of the past that still hurt, break cycles they never wanted to repeat, and find the version of themselves they miss or dream about becoming one day. Motherhood can bring the greatest joys and the hardest truths, but you don’t have to carry them alone. Together, we’ll help you feel lighter, more grounded, and more like you again.

Therapy for Anxious + Overwhelmed Moms
Having a baby and stepping into parenthood can completely shift your world, physically, emotionally, mentally, socially, personally, and professionally. It’s a season of major change, and it’s normal to feel unlike yourself. With the right support, you can reconnect with who you are and begin living the life you always imagined, with more balance, clarity, and confidence.

Birth Trauma Therapy
Birth can be beautiful, but it can also leave lasting emotional impacts, even if you don’t label your experience as “traumatic.” Many mothers minimize their feelings because they feel pressure to move on once their baby is healthy. Birth trauma therapy creates space to process your experience, release fear or guilt, and rebuild a sense of calm, confidence, and connection in your journey through motherhood.

Counseling for Miscarriage + Infant Loss
Miscarriage and infant loss are deeply personal experiences that can feel incredibly isolating. You deserve compassionate support as you navigate the complex emotions that come with grief and loss. Together, we create a safe space to process the pain, begin healing, and slowly rediscover hope, whether your loss is recent or something you’ve carried for years.

EMDR Therapy for Women
Motherhood, and life as a whole, can bring old wounds to the surface, even ones you didn’t realize were still affecting you. EMDR therapy helps uncover and address the root of these experiences so true healing can take place. Through this process, you can release emotional weight, feel more grounded and clear, and move forward with greater confidence and ease.
