Therapy for Moms in Maryland
Navigating Rage & Overwhelm
And the anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and identity shifts that weave through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood
You don't have to keep carrying this alone
Let's start here
No One Prepared You for
This Version of Motherhood
The version of you who feels constantly on edge.
The one who snaps without meaning to.
The one who simmers with resentment and then falls into guilt.
You may also feel numb, anxious, or unlike yourself.
For many women, this begins long before birth.
Fertility stress, pregnancy anxiety, and early postpartum changes can feel overwhelming in ways no one warned you about.
You are not “just having a hard time.”
You are burnt out, touched out, emotionally overloaded.
Disconnected from your instincts and from the person you used to recognize.
You are tired of holding everything together on the outside while quietly unraveling inside.
You are not a bad mother for feeling this way.
You are a human one, living in a world that asks too much and offers too little.
At TendWell, I help moms and moms-to-be move out of survival mode and into grounded self-connection.
We work with your mind, your body, your emotions, and your story.
This is real support for real motherhood.
The Mothers I Support
If you are here, you might recognize yourself in one or more of the following experiences:
You’re navigating rate, irritability, or anxiety while trying to conceive, pregnant, or postpartum
You often feel overstimulated or close to snapping
- You’re carrying guilt or shame for needing space
You feel overwhelmed by the invisible labor and constant mental load
- You hold it together publicly while quietly unraveling privately
You’re wondering if it is “bad enough” to ask for help
You feel like you’re drowning and burning up at the same time
You’re struggling through fertility stress or early pregnancy intensity
You’re grieving pregnancy loss or a traumatic birth
- You hesitate to ask for help because you have always been the dependable one
- You miss the version of yourself you used to know and feel lost in the version you’re become
- You’re grieving the gap between what you imagined motherhood would be and what it actually is
You’re feeling disconnected from your body, your needs, or intuition
You are doing everything you can, yet nothing feels like enough
You long for a space where you do not have to smile, minimize your feelings, or pretend to be fine
Whether you are trying to conceive, pregnant, a few weeks postpartum, or years into motherhood, your challenges are real and worthy of care.
Your story matters.
Your healing is possible.
Hello, I'm Aubrey!
I am a licensed art therapist, counselor, and mother. I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed with grief, consumed by rage, undone by anxiety, or disconnected from the person you used to be.
In my work, I combine art psychotherapy, somatic practices, and trauma-informed talk therapy to help mothers move through the fire of early motherhood. The goal is not just to feel better, but to feel whole.
Healing is not about returning to who you were.
It is about becoming someone grounded, powerful, and true.
How It Feels to Come Home to Yourself
This isn’t about fixing you.
You’re not broken.
It’s about finally having the space, support, and safety to reconnect with the parts of you that motherhood made blurry, buried, or impossible to access.
Here’s what begins to return when you stop performing “fine” and start feeling fully:
Relief from guilt and shame
Tools to soothe your nervous system without shutting down
A space to express what feels messy, loud, or misunderstood
A deeper trust in your intuition and body’s signals
Creative ways to process what words alone can’t hold
Language for what you feel and permission to say it
Room to explore what you want
A felt sense of safety to return to, even on hard days
A clearer, more grounded sense of who you’re becoming
You don’t need to be more patient or perfect.
You need space to be fully you.
