Therapy for Women Navigating Motherhood, Trauma, and Life Transitions
You don’t have to navigate motherhood or healing alone. Whether you’re adjusting to life with a baby, feeling the weight of past experiences, or longing to feel more grounded and like yourself again, therapy offers space to slow down, reconnect, and heal.
You’re doing so much- but feeling more disconnected than ever.
✦ Motherhood, trauma, anxiety, or just the weight of life can leave you feeling stuck, or like you’ve lost yourself. You might look okay on the outside, but inside you're overwhelmed, overstimulated, or stuck in survival mode. ✦
You’re not alone.

Hi, I’m Kara.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, maternal mental health therapist, trauma specialist, and mom of two. I work with women and new mothers who are navigating the emotional and nervous system shifts that often come with motherhood, trauma, and major life transitions.
Many of the women I work with are deeply caring, capable people who expected motherhood or life to feel different than it does right now. Anxiety, overwhelm, birth experiences, loss, or past trauma can resurface during seasons of change, leaving you feeling disconnected from yourself or unsure how to move forward.
My role isn’t to “fix” you.
It’s to walk alongside you as a steady guide, helping you understand what your mind and body have been carrying, make sense of your reactions, and reconnect with a sense of safety and self-trust.
Because healing isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about coming back to yourself.
