Therapy for Moms in Oklahoma
Who Are Overwhelmed, Overworked, and Just Over It.
Miserable in motherhood? Let’s work on that.
The toys are all over the house. The sink is full of dishes. The day has slipped away once again. Your kids are playing and finally getting along. Yet, you might feel so overwhelmed that the next scream from a kid could send you into a moment of rage and regret.
Somewhere along the way, you have lost yourself in motherhood. The pre-kid you may feel like a distant memory. What if there could be a new version of you that is being a mom and woman who is less anxious and not constantly on edge?
You want to break the cycles and parent better than your parents raised you. Your upbringing may not have been the worst, but you know you want to do things differently. It can be exhausting to parent in a new way when you keep hearing your mother’s voice come out of your mouth.
You don’t want to live another day feeling like you are ruining your kid's life. You may have tried meditation or taking a deep breath before talking, but that is barely making a dent, and you know you need more help.
You want to enjoy being the mom to your awesome kids! Your family deserves to experience the true version of their mom and wife who is taking care of herself to be the best mom ever.
My clients often experience:
Frustration with yourself, your husband, or your kids.
Stress & exhaustion from trying to juggle everything in motherhood.
Not being the mom you want to be & falling short of the standards you have set for yourself.
Have a history of depression and/or anxiety that has snuck back into your daily life.
The bottom line is that you want your motherhood to feel a little more effortless and relaxed, and a lot less rigid and quick to anger.
This run-down, lifeless, over-emotional person isn’t you.
Therapy for moms is fun and serious all in one.
We can share a laugh and do the work to help you be the best mom you can be for yourself and your family. We have space for processing the week and all of its craziness. And, it is also important that I help you work through those pesky negative beliefs about yourself because that is where the lasting change happens.
Therapy sessions may be your only true time to yourself in the week. Let’s make it worth it!
We can jump from how to communicate with your husband about something he did that pissed you off something and lessen the anger to processing that trauma that you’ve tried to ignore for years. We can talk about saying “no” when asked to be the classroom parent if that is what is best for you. Then, process and lessen the guilt that is not too far behind said “no.”
Whether you are a stay-at-home mom trying to push away the isolation and rage OR working mom who feels a tsunami of guilt and shame every time you drop your kids off at daycare…there is space for you here!
You can vent to your friends and mom…
But they probably aren’t helping you remember that you want to be more calm, cool, and collected. They’re just letting you ramble on with no purpose, which doesn’t actually help and may make you more miserable and upset.
It’s quite literally my job to be unbiased, neutral, and give an outsider’s perspective to help you reach your goals. I have specific training to help you lessen the depression and anxiety in motherhood. You deserve time and space to work through the ‘ugly’ emotions and difficult decisions of being a mom without the judgment and hidden agendas from others in your life.
You get to work on being a better version of yourself. That may be figuring out how to let go of your incredibly high expectations of yourself that leak into your family relationships. It may be climbing out of the depression that has been wreaking havoc the past few months.
What you’re struggling with in motherhood is valid, and I’m here to help you work through it.
Let’s daydream for a minute…
Imagine feeling little to no guilt about the hundred decisions you make each day. The little things don’t have to bring on an unreasonable amount of overwhelm and overthinking that ruin the day.
You feel peace and happiness for the first time, maybe since before your kids were born if we are being honest. You can play with your kids, share a laugh, and catch a smile run across their face. You’re not worried about the laundry list of chores. You’re present in the moment with your family.
This is all creating a healthier relationship with your husband, also. You both feel more comfortable as parents. You prioritize date nights, and truly enjoy the conversation with each other. You’re connected with him again.
You know you need to work on yourself. Therapy has always been on the list as something you should probably do to be better to yourself. It can be scary to start working on the beliefs and struggles you have had for years.
But think about what your day-to-day could be without the weight of perfection, overwhelm, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
The days can feel easy and comfortable, which grows into confidence and feeling full of joy amidst the chaos of motherhood, family, a career, and being you.
