Motherhood doesn’t look or feel the way you wish it did.
Guilt.
-For losing your cool and finding yourself doing or saying the same things your parents did
-For wanting time away from your children, needing a break, or asking for help
Maybe you feel..
Overwhelmed.
-You feel like you’re always “on” and taking care of everyone else, with no energy or time left for you
-Small things that shouldn't feel like a big deal—whining, messes, tantrums, being touched all day—leave you feeling overwhelmed; and you often feel emotionally drained by the end of the day
-You look around and think other moms seem to be handling things better than you are
Stuck.
-You wish you could feel more patient, present, and connected instead of constantly feeling stressed or overwhelmed
-You know you're doing your best, but it never feels like enough
-You want to break unhealthy family patterns, but you're not always sure what to do differently
You're ready to give yourself the support, compassion, and healing you deserved all along.
Motherhood can stir up more than you ever expected — exhaustion, guilt, anger, sadness, and moments when your reactions surprise you. Sometimes, parts of us that have carried old hurts, fears, or protective patterns can feel especially close to the surface during this season of life. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in patterns you hoped to leave behind, you’re not alone. I offer a steady, compassionate space to gently explore what may be coming up for you, better understand the different parts of your experience, untangle the overwhelm, and find more space for presence, connection, and choice in your parenting.
I’m Alicia, and I’m here to support you.
The Approach
Understanding your patterns. Honoring your experience. Creating space for change.
Therapy with me means support for the parts of motherhood no one prepared you for.
Making space for every part of you.
The anxious, shut-down, or self-critical parts of you aren’t something to fight or fix. IFS offers a compassionate way to understand these parts and work with them, rather than against them.
Gently accessing what words can’t always reach.
The experiences that feel stuck or hard to put into words can live beyond conscious awareness. Brainspotting offers a gentle way to access and process them, creating space for healing.
Understanding how connection shapes healing.
How we relate to ourselves and others shapes our nervous system and sense of wellbeing. IPNB helps explore these connections, creating greater awareness, integration, and space for meaningful change.
