“I’m not a parenting expert. In fact, I’m not sure I even believe in the idea of ‘parenting experts’. I’m an engaged, imperfect parent …parenting is by far my boldest and most daring adventure”

-Brene Brown

Therapy for Adults- mostly for fellow tired moms

I failed as a parent right from the beginning. I had my daughter in December of 2011, and I had ended up with an emergency c-section instead of the drug-free hippie birth I had so carefully planned. A few months later, my mom brought me the new People magazine with Beyonce on the cover. She had also had a baby that December, and she had just been crowned “The Most Beautiful Woman”. I read her interview through tears- how she had worn heels during her delivery, and how she felt sexiest when she got out of the shower. When I got out of the shower, I had milk running everywhere and didn’t recognize the strange body in the mirror.

Clearly, Beyonce was doing this right, and I was doing this wrong. I was barely a mom, and I had already failed spectacularly.

Then came all the advice- SO MUCH PARENTING ADVICE. Am I a gentle parent? A reactive parent? My kids don’t respond like the kids in the books, I must be doing this wrong. Do I even like being a parent?

IT IS SO HARD.

I’m with you- let’s figure it out together! We bring a whole lot of baggage to parenting- our own experiences being parented, society’s expectations, and our own challenges with anxiety or depression.

I don’t have all the answers, but I’m happy to walk through the chaos of motherhood alongside you. Reach out today to take the next step!
