therapy for parents

This is the space to process your past so you don’t pass it on.

Parenting is hard.

It’s even harder when you have mental health struggles.

Parenting naturally comes with its fair share of challenges, but when you're navigating symptoms of chronic anxiety, stress, burnout and depression, it can feel nearly impossible to show up as the conscious parent you want to be.

Every day, you pour your heart into ensuring your children feel loved and secure, but inside, you're struggling to find that same level of stability and attention for yourself. You feel isolated and burnt-out, and because you’re a parent, these feelings lead to a repetitive cycle of shame and guilt.  You might not even know who you really are at this point, and you struggle to imagine what life outside of survival-mode feels like.

I often hear "Why can't I simply relax and enjoy my child?" “What is wrong with me?” or "Why does everything feel like it's just too much?." More often than not, the answers trace back to chapters from your own story – times when you didn't have the tools or understanding to cope with your own experience.

You deserve every ounce of love, care, and attention that you pour into your children.

Parent consciously

As you gain awareness of, process,
and finally release past experiences
and automatic patterns of thought, feelings
and behaviors, you will notice an increased capacity to be the regulated and present
parent you want to be.

Break generational cycles

Deep mental and emotional healing is not only beneficial for you, but your children as well. Rewriting your story breaks cycles that have spanned for generations. You might also find that familial triggers lose their grip on you, allowing you to be unbothered and remain calm around people and situations that used to send you into a spiral of activation.

While you've always aimed to give your
children your best, the weight you’ve
been carrying has made it a struggle to genuinely enjoy the day to day experience
of parenthood. As you process and release what’s been stuck, you'll find yourself
more present and at ease, allowing you
to deeply and consciously connect with
the ones who matter most.
