Therapy for Anxious, People-Pleasing Modern Moms

Motherhood can feel like a never-ending journey of love and growth, but for many millenial moms, it can also be filled with anxiety, self-doubt, and the pressure of trying to be everything to everyone. If you feel lost in motherhood—especially during the pregnancy/postpartum and teen/tween stages—you are not alone.

As a California therapist specializing in anxiety and supporting people-pleasing moms, I offer personalized therapy to help you reconnect with yourself, manage anxiety, and find peace in your parenting journey. Whether you're navigating the early days of pregnancy, the postpartum period, or the overwhelming demands of mothering, I’m here to support you.

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • Lying awake at night, imagining worst-case scenarios about your child’s well-being

  • Feeling like you’re constantly putting others' needs first and never having time for yourself

  • Worrying about every parenting decision and feeling unsure of yourself as a mom

  • Struggling with intrusive thoughts or fears that take over your mind

  • Feeling lost in your identity, unsure of who you anymore are beyond the role of "mom"

  • Exploding at everyone and everything because your guard is always up

These feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, and identity loss are more common than you think, especially for people-pleasing modern moms in California. Together, we can find strategies to help you break free from the guilt and reclaim your confidence and sense of self.

You Don’t Have to Carry This Weight Alone

Your worries are valid. The good news is that we don’t have to silence them or push them away. Instead, we can learn to make space for them, gain clarity, and begin to shift how you experience anxiety. As a former professional school counselor and child development expert, I know that sometimes anxiety isn't just about your emotional state—it's also about the unknowns of parenting. When it comes to raising children, there’s a lot we’re simply not taught, and sometimes that uncertainty fuels our fears.

I can also support you with parent coaching, offering practical, gentle guidance on everything from navigating toddler tantrums to preparing for your child's transition to middle school. We’ll explore proven, research-backed strategies to feel more confident in your parenting decisions, and work together to release the overwhelming anxiety that often clouds our judgment as moms.

Anxiety doesn’t have to take control of your mind or your motherhood anymore!

I can offer practical parent coaching that helps you feel more confident in your parenting choices, whether you're navigating the newborn stage or preparing for your child’s teenage years.
