Conquer Motherhood with Confidence.
Anxiety Treatment for Moms in Oregon and California
I help anxious mamas stop the unrelenting cycle of guilt, shame, and controlling behavior.
It’s time to actually enjoy motherhood.
Becoming a mom is something that so many of us have dreamed of.
There are expectations of joy . You’ve always been told you are going to be a “natural”, yet when the baby comes, or you are pregnant, the last thing it feels like is natural. You’re anxious. You stumble, you struggle, you go from one worry to the next and your overwhelm is off the charts.
You can’t say it out loud, but sometimes you don’t want to watch that one show again, or play on the playground, or play make believe with your kiddo. In those moments, you question yourself as a mother and ask yourself why you don’t like all the parts of motherhood when it seems like everyone else is loving ALL of it. Is everyone feeling the same stress and anxiety as you are?
When my clients first come in, they feel like they are not good enough.
They feel guilty about not loving every moment of motherhood and white knuckle grasping to try to control every aspect of their lives because the anxiety is taking over. They are feeling unsure about mental health therapy or therapy for anxiety, it is so normal.
They are seeking validation from others that they are doing the right things. They really want to be able to find that validation and knowing just within themselves but have no idea how to do that or where to even begin.
They are over scheduled; the stress is overwhelming and they feel that they cannot trust anyone to do the things that they do because no one will do it to their standards ( the shopping, laundry, cleaning, nap time, bedtime, the list goes on…) . They are downright exhausted. Not to mention the paid job that they may go to… It’s not that they don’t want and need help, they just can’t bring themselves to let go.
I get it. I truly know the spiral and the pain that my clients feel. And I know the way to freedom.
Hellllooo! 👋 I’m Deborah and I’m a mom too. I’ve been helping moms overcome the guilt, shame and desire to control their lives since 2018 in my private practice.
You deserve to feel at peace and confident as a mother.
You deserve to go about everyday knowing you’re good enough.
Everyday. All day.
No matter what.
Mom-ing is unpredictable and can be uncomfortable. Anxiety doesn’t have to be your default. You can thrive as a mom and give your children the BEST version of you.
You don’t have to suffer.
Treatment for stress and anxiety can help.
