For Moms
Identity and Self-Care for Moms
You are someone's mom, daughter, wife and friend. You are also a person in your own right.
Who This Is For
When you can't remember what you like anymore
Someone asks what you do for fun and you go blank. Your days are organized around everyone else's needs, and the woman you were before kids feels far away.
This work is for moms who want to find that person again, without walking away from the family they love.
What We Work On
What we look at together
- 01
The roles you carry
Sorting out which expectations are yours and which you inherited.
- 02
Self-compassion
Speaking to yourself the way you would to a close friend, drawing on Kristin Neff's work.
- 03
Realistic self-care
Ten minutes outside or coffee before the house wakes up, not a weekend spa you'll never book.
- 04
Boundaries
Protecting a little time each week and holding it when others push back.
- 05
Courage
Trying something for yourself, inspired by Brene Brown's writing on authenticity.
How I Work
Kinder thinking, clearer limits
CBT
We notice the inner critic, the voice that says rest has to be earned, and practice answering it with something more accurate and more kind.
DBT
We use skills for asking for what you want, saying no and tolerating the discomfort that comes when you put yourself on the calendar.
What Sessions Look Like
An hour that is only yours
- Where
- Virtual, from anywhere in New York State
- Length
- 45 to 50 minutes
- When
- Day, evening and weekend times
We meet by video at a time you choose, including evenings and weekends. For many moms, the session itself becomes the first protected hour of the week.
I love quiet mornings with coffee and walks outdoors. I want you to find your version of that.
What Can Shift
- A small, steady habit that belongs to you
- Less guilt when you take time for yourself
- A clearer sense of who you are beyond the roles
These are hopes we work toward together, not guarantees.
