HOW TO WORK WITH ME

​
ABOUT WORKING WITH ME
​
I give the compassionate help and practical strategies my clients need to confidently:
-
Make sense of their mother wound
-
Heal their past pain or trauma
-
Understand their mom’s choices and behavior
-
Reconnect with and trust their true selves
-
Create and maintain boundaries with their mom
-
Know how to best navigate their relationship with their mom: stay, change things up, or go
-
Respond to friends and family who don’t understand
-
Live joyfully beyond their mother wound
YOU NEED SOMETHING DIFFERENT​
​
The mother wound is about a lot more than just your relationship with your mother. It can negatively effect many aspects of your life including:
​
-
Self-worth
-
Body image
-
Mental health
-
Relationships
-
Sex life
-
Parenting
-
Friendships
-
Work
If you’ve tried traditional talk therapy for any of the above but nothing has helped and you know you've had a difficult relationship with your mom in childhood or adulthood, healing your mother wound is the key to solving these struggles.

IS MOTHER WOUND COUNSELING FOR YOU?
​
If you’ve asked yourself one or more of the following, mother wound counseling is for you:
-
“Other people seem to get along fine with their moms, so what’s wrong with me?”
-
“Is my mom really that bad though?”
-
“Am I being too sensitive or dramatic about how my mom treated me?”
-
"Aren't all moms like this though?"
You'll know it's time to seek counseling for your mother wound when:​
-
Your relationship with your mom is negatively effecting your mental health

You're feeling stuck and unsure about how to navigate your relationship with your mom
-
​You've been arguing, fighting or experiencing ongoing conflict with your mom
-
You're in disagreement with your mom about how to navigate a particular issue
-
Your mom has abused or neglected you
-
You feel your connection with your mom is being weakened or even torn apart
-
Your relationship with your mom is negatively impacting how you show up in your other relationships
