Therapy for Moms in Maryland Navigating Rage and Overwhelm

Support for the anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and identity shifts that weave through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood.

You may be overwhelmed, overstimulated, angry, shut down, or simply feel completely unlike yourself

These feelings often begin long before birth and continue through early motherhood. They are not personal failures. They are signals that you have been carrying too much alone.

I provide virtual therapy for Maryland moms and moms-to-be.

This work supports the emotional realities that begin before conception and continue long after birth.

I support women navigating:

  • anger and rage throughout all stages of motherhood
  • overwhelm and emotional flooding

  • anxiety during fertility, pregnancy, or postpartum

  • postpartum depression and emotional shutdown

    • pregnancy loss and grief

    • birth trauma and reproductive trauma

    • identity shifts and identity loss

    • numbness and dissociation

    • resentment, guilt, shame, and internal pressure

    • burnout, overstimulation, and the mental load

    • trauma that resurfaces during TTC or pregnancy

    • disconnection from body or intuition

    How Therapy Works With Me​

    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.

    What a Session Looks Like

    Sessions are 50 minutes and held virtually for Maryland residents.

    A typical session may include:

    • grounding or regulation to help you settle into the moment

    • talking through experiences from your week

    • processing emotions such as rage, grief, anxiety, or shutdown

    • checking in with your body to understand what your nervous system is holding

    • creative expression like drawing, mark-making, or symbol exploration

    • somatic tools that support presence and emotional release

    • exploring birth experiences or trauma that still feel alive in your body

    • mapping triggers, patterns, or emotional cycles

    • connecting with protective or overwhelmed inner parts

    Some sessions feel emotional.
    Some feel clarifying.
    Some feel like a deep exhale.

    Every session is shaped by what you need that day.

    My role is to offer steady guidance, emotional safety, and tools that help you feel more regulated, connected, and supported — not just during the session, but in the quiet in-between places where daily life happens.

    What You Can Expect Over Time

    Therapy is not about becoming a calmer or more perfect version of yourself.
    It’s about becoming a truer one — someone who feels more regulated, more connected, and more supported from the inside out.

    Over time, many mothers begin to:

    • fewer explosive moments and more understanding of what fuels their rage

    • less anxiety and fewer spirals
    • softer edges around depression, heaviness, or numbness
    • more clarity and presence in overwhelming moments
    • a growing sense of safety and connection in their body
    • less reactivity to triggers from past trauma
    • more room for grief without feeling consumed by it
    • stronger boundaries and less resentment
    • a clearer sense of identity and self-trust
    • moments of aliveness, play, and pleasure returning
    • more compassion for themselves
    • more grounded days and easier emotional transitions

    Healing doesn’t happen all at once.
    It happens gradually — in moments of insight, softening, release, and reconnection.

    Our work together helps you build a relationship with yourself that feels steady, supportive, and sustainable
