Helping overwhelmed moms feel like themselves again.
Therapy for high-achieving women navigating identity shifts, mental load, relationship changes, and the emotional realities of modern motherhood.
You might look like you’re holding it all together — but internally, you feel exhausted.
You expected motherhood to be a big shift, but you didn’t expect this:
going from high-achieving and high-functioning to feeling like you’re constantly dropping the ball
waking up overwhelmed and already feeling behind, yet feeling like you haven’t gotten anything done by the end of the day
relying on the systems that have worked in the past, but are failing you now
loving your child while grieving your past life
feeling resentful towards your partner for an inequitable distribution of the mental load and parenting duties
feeling disoriented and unfamiliar with who you are now
feeling depressed and scared that things will never get easier; that maybe you’re just a bad mom
feeling guilty for wanting to run away and bury your head in the sand because it’s all just too much
You aren’t failing. Motherhood is hard. Therapy gives you a space to say the hard thing out loud without fear of judgement or needing to explain yourself. It’s a space to exhale, even if just for an hour, to slow down, and to get to know who you are in this new phase. It’s an opportunity to make motherhood your own, and to build a life that feels more sustainable, supported, and aligned with what you actually value.
I help women navigate:
Identity shifts in motherhood
Postpartum anxiety and depression
Overwhelm and burnout
Perfectionism and self-criticism
ADHD and executive functioning challenges
Mental load and relationship stress
Balancing career and motherhood
Loneliness and loss of self
Meet Alyza (uh•lie•zuh)
I became a therapist because – not to open with a cliché here – therapy changed my life. It helped me understand the ways painful experiences had shaped my behaviors, supported me through profound loss, and showed me that healthy, meaningful relationships were possible for me. Through my own healing, I learned to trust my intuition, find my own answers, and fully embody who I am.
Then motherhood changed everything (as it tends to do).
Becoming a mother opened my eyes to the enormous and often invisible identity shifts women experience during matrescence — the emotional, psychological, relational, and identity transformation that occurs when becoming a mother. I know firsthand how disorienting it can feel to love your child deeply while also grieving parts of yourself, questioning who you are now, and trying to hold together career, relationships, mental health, and daily life all at once. Learning about matrescence made me feel seen during a season when so many women feel isolated, overwhelmed, and disconnected from themselves.
That experience shaped the heart of my work.
