Supporting Moms: Managing Stress and Mental Health in Motherhood

Motherhood is often described as one of life’s greatest joys—but it can also be one of the most emotionally challenging experiences. Between sleepless nights, balancing caregiving responsibilities, and navigating shifting personal identities, many moms face stress, anxiety, and sometimes depression.

If you’re a mom feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or guilty for wanting time for yourself, you’re not alone—and therapy can be a powerful resource.

Common challenges moms bring to therapy include:

• Postpartum mood changes like depression or anxiety

• Feeling disconnected from their sense of self outside of motherhood

• Struggling to balance self-care with family demands

• Navigating changes in relationships with partners, friends, or older children

• Managing work-life balance and parenting stress

Therapy provides a safe, confidential space to explore these feelings without judgment. Using a compassionate and feminist-informed approach, I work with moms to develop personalized strategies that promote emotional well-being, resilience, and self-compassion.

You don’t have to do this alone. Whether you prefer in-person counseling in Lone Tree, CO, or online sessions from home, I’m here to support your mental health and help you find balance and peace during this important season of life.

Taking care of your mental health as a mom benefits not just you but your whole family—because when you’re supported, everyone thrives.
