You didn’t realize being a mom would be so hard.  

You feel pulled in every direction and overwhelmed managing and juggling all your hats such as mom, wife, daughter, professional, house cleaner, family planner, and organizer, just to name a few. There aren't enough hours in the day, and you are constantly worried about your child. You either stay up really late trying to get everything done or you lie in bed just thinking about your immense to-do list along with constant heart-wrenching worry about your child.  

You feel exhausted all of the time.  

Much of the time, your heart is beating fast and you feel like you are in auto-pilot mode most of the day.  Your child’s behaviors and big feelings are becoming more challenging.  You feel “mom guilt” as you wish you could just escape and be alone, even for just a few minutes.  Some days it’s so hard to concentrate that you realize your mind literally just went blank. You wish you could control the harsh words that go through your head about you as a mom, but you just don’t’ know how to stop them.  

Your Kid Is Stressed Out Too.

You are realizing your child is feeling the stress too, and that you need some pointers on supporting your child’s emotions and concerning behaviors.  You just yelled at your child, yet again, for not listening.  But this time, more than ever, you could really feel the pain in your child’s eyes, and it leaves you heartbroken.  You are struggling to be a calm and present mom, and you realize it is time to get some support.  

 Hi, my name is Shauna, and I can support you. 

I am a therapist who helps overwhelmed, anxious, and stressed moms who want to be more connected to their family and who want to parent with confidence.  Moms I help may also feel depressed, have panic attacks, OCD, body dysmorphia, body focused repetitive behaviors like skin picking and hair pulling, tics or Tourette Syndrome, difficulties managing life stressors or trauma, a divorce, work, and/or relationship challenges.  I utilize effective evidence based treatments, so you can seek support, explore your challenges on a deeper level, make desired changes and learn coping and parenting tools to be more present and manage your stress.  

When therapy works, you can be the mom you have always aspired to be– the mom who is present, calm, and supportive to your kids while managing your various hats with confidence. 

It is possible to slow down and feel more rested, present, calm, and connected to your family.  If you are ready to get help for anxiety relief and to seek out better ways to support your children, I am just a click away.
