Motherhood is beautiful and bone-deep exhausting. Between the mental load, overstimulation, mom rage, anxious thoughts, and strained relationships, it’s no wonder so many Portland moms feel like they’re running on empty. Therapy at The Nurtured Theory helps you slow down, untangle the overwhelm, and reconnect with yourself. In sessions, we explore what’s really beneath the burnout, so you can parent with clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of self. I’m currently accepting new clients in Oregon.

Recognize the signs of motherhood anxiety and discover therapy, online support, and self-care strategies to feel calmer, steadier, and more connected.

Self-care advice is everywhere, but when you’re an anxious, burned-out, overwhelmed mom deep in survival mode, it often feels impossible. As an Oregon therapist for millennial moms, I’ve seen how the “shoulds” of motherhood can pile on guilt and make overwhelm even heavier. In this post, I share why self-care isn’t working, what your body and mind truly need first, and how therapy can help you move from depletion to clarity and connection.
