You're not

broken.

You're

becoming

When motherhood (or the path to it) has you stuck in your head, second-guessing everything, and trying to ‘get it right’ all the time, I help you unpack the pressure, and remember who you are underneath the guilt, perfectionism, and people-pleasing.

You Deserve to Feel

Confident

in your choices as a mom (or mom-to-be), trusting your gut without spiraling into second-guessing.

Calm

even through the threenager years, the teenage battles, pregnancy worries, or the 3 a.m. what-ifs.

Connected

to your people, your body, and the life you’ve built, so you don’t lose yourself in the swirl of motherhood.

Therapy for moms in North County San Diego, and online throughout California, is here to help you find your footing again.

For All Stages of Motherhood

Planning for Motherhood

You’ve built a life in California that feels full: a career you care about, relationships, routines, a sense of yourself. And now you’re wondering what it might look like to add a baby into the mix.

Therapy for women planning motherhood gives you space to slow down and explore your hopes, fears, and questions before pregnancy. We’ll look at what matters most to you, what you want to carry forward, and what patterns you’d like to leave behind. Together, we’ll help you create a vision for motherhood that feels aligned with who you are — so you don’t lose yourself in the process, but expand into it with intention.

Pregnancy

You want to feel steady as you prepare to meet your baby, not weighed down by anxiety, guilt, or the old wounds you don’t want to carry with you.

Pregnancy therapy gives you space to slow down, breathe, and feel grounded. Together, we’ll ease the pressure, heal what feels heavy, and help you step into motherhood with more calm and confidence.

Postpartum

Becoming a mom is beautiful, but, it also can feel like too much. Maybe you’re replaying your birth story in your head. Maybe the middle-of-the-night feedings leave you questioning everything. Or maybe you don’t recognize yourself anymore.

Postpartum therapy in San Diego is a place to process, find support, and gently rebuild your confidence, so you feel connected to your baby and to yourself.

Parenthood

Motherhood wasn’t supposed to feel like this, stretched thin, overwhelmed, trying to be everything for everyone. The guilt, the pressure, the perfectionism…it’s exhausting.

Whether you’re caring for a newborn, wrangling toddlers, or navigating the ups and downs of parenting older kids, therapy can help. You’ll learn to set boundaries without shame, regulate your emotions, and trust yourself again. Most importantly, you’ll begin to break old cycles, so you and your kids can both breathe easier.

And if you’re raising older kids, especially in the middle school years, you already know the stakes can feel even higher. The eye rolls, the slammed doors, the constant push-pull of wanting independence but still needing you…it’s a lot. Therapy can give you the tools to navigate this season with more confidence and calm, so your relationship with your child stays strong, even as they grow.

Hi, I’m Ellie

I am a licensed therapist in California for moms juggling it all: motherhood, work, self-care, relationships, and feeling like they’re losing themselves in the process. You’re trying to be everything for everyone, and yet that guilt just keeps creeping in.

I get it, because I am a mom of 2 myself doing my own balancing act. Trust me when I say, it doesn’t have to be this way! I’m here to help you ditch the guilt, find balance and finally breathe. I mean really breathe, through the chaos, with laughter when we can, and compassion always. Because let’s be real: motherhood is a lot.

You deserve to be grounded, present, and fully you, for your family and yourself.
