Motherhood is tough...
it’s okay to admit that.
It doesn't mean you don't cherish those moments you adore or find fulfillment in your children.
But it does mean at times feeling drained, overlooked, and sometimes questioning yourself.

Some days, it feels impossible to reach even the slightest bit of "okay", let alone rediscover the elusive feeling of "joy."

Motherhood & Parenting
Parenting can be like navigating the tides of the ocean. Just as the tides ebb and flow, parenting can have its ups and downs. Sometimes the waves can be gentle and calm, and other times they can be tumultuous and overwhelming. Just like how the ocean can have hidden rocks or sudden riptides, parenting can throw unexpected challenges our way. It can be easy to feel lost or adrift, unsure of which way to turn or how to navigate the obstacles that come our way.
But just as a skilled sailor can navigate the treacherous waters of the ocean, a skilled therapist can help guide you through the challenges of parenting. With support of a therapist, you can learn to read the currents and chart a course that leads to calmer waters. And just like how the ocean can be a source of awe-inspiring beauty, parenting can be a source of deep joy and fulfillment. From the first time you hold your child in your arms to the everyday moments of laughter and love, there's something magical about being a mother.
So if you're feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of parenting, remember that there is always hope. With the support of a caring therapist and the resilience that comes from being a mother, you can weather any storm and emerge stronger and more confident than ever before.
Why should I consider therapy?
Being a mom is tough, and sometimes we all need a little extra help to navigate the ups and downs of parenting. That's where therapy comes in! Here are a few reasons why you might benefit from seeing a therapist for general parenting struggles:
Have you ever felt like you're in the middle of a parenting hurricane and you can't see your way out? A therapist can help you step back and see the bigger picture. Sometimes all it takes is a fresh perspective to help you find your way forward.
Let's be real, parenting is not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. What works for one kid might not work for another. A therapist can help you discover new parenting strategies and techniques that are tailored to your unique situation.
Being a mom is stressful! Between the diaper changes, the temper tantrums, and the endless laundry, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Therapy can be a safe space where you can vent your frustrations, share your fears, and feel heard.
It's no secret that communication is key in any relationship, and that includes the relationship between a mom and her child. A therapist can help you improve your communication skills, build stronger connections with your kids, and have more fun together.
Sometimes our parenting struggles are rooted in deeper issues, like unresolved trauma or unresolved conflicts. A therapist can help you address those underlying issues so you can be the best parent possible.
Get some outside perspective
Learn some new tricks
Take a load off
Connect with your kiddo
Deal with the deeper stuff
The bottom line is this:
you don't have to go it alone.
Therapy can be a wonderful resource for moms who want to feel more confident, more connected, and more joyful in their parenting journey. So go ahead and reach out for help - you deserve it!

- postpartum depression
- postpartum rage
- postpartum anxiety
- loss of sense of who you are

Waves of Motherhood therapy in Missouri & Utah can guide you toward brighter days ahead.
Dear Moms everywhere,
You radiate strength, bravery, and talent in countless ways.
You're on a journey, and we're here to walk alongside you.
How does maternal mental health therapy help?
Picture this: you're a busy mom with a million things on your plate. You may be juggling work, kids, a partner, household tasks, a social life (if you're lucky), and everything else in between. You're doing it all with a smile on your face, but inside you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and like you could use a good cry. Sound familiar?
That's where therapy comes in! It's like a personal cheerleader for your mental health. A therapist is there to listen, support, and encourage you as you navigate the ups and downs of motherhood (and life in general). It's a safe space to share all those embarrassing moments, thoughts, and feelings that we don't always feel comfortable talking about with our friends or family.
Plus, therapy is a chance to learn new skills and strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and all those other emotions that come with being a mom. It's a chance to work through all those emotions and frustrations that come with being a mom, and come out feeling stronger, more empowered, and ready to take on the world (or at least the next load of laundry).
And let's not forget the self-care aspect! Therapy is a chance to take an hour out of your busy week to focus solely on yourself. No interruptions, no distractions, just a chance to check in with yourself and prioritize your mental health and well-being. Although, your little ones are always welcome if that is what you prefer.
So, mamas, if you're feeling like you could use a little extra support, don't hesitate to reach out. I'll be your buoy and help you stay afloat in the sometimes turbulent waters of motherhood!
