VIRTUAL THERAPY FOR MOTHERHOOD IN UTAH
Telehealth sessions for Utah moms who are crushing the “perfect mom” image, but are really one milk spill away from completely falling apart.
The pressure to be “perfect” as a mother is real. And it is exhausting.
The expectations of motherhood say that a good mom is selfless, patient, grateful, and fulfilled by the act of giving.
It makes us feel like needing anything for ourselves is somehow a reflection of how much we love our kids. I say it’s baloney. Because here’s what really happens when you’re always last on your list.
You don't become a better mom. You become a depleted one.
You become the mom who snaps over the sippy cup being knocked on the floor and then spirals with guilt for the rest of the day.
You become the mom who considers a solo trip to the grocery store “self-care,” even though you rushed through as if the universe would implode if you spent more than 30 minutes alone.
You become the mom who survives on toddler snacks and your kids’ leftover scraps of food because you’re already onto the next thing before even considering slowing down to take care of your own basic human needs.
Let’s get one thing straight, Mama
IN CASE NO ONE’S TOLD YOU THIS LATELY:
You are so good at this.
Not in that "how do you do it all” way that acts like your life is perfect but doesn’t consider the fact that you wake up every 45 minutes at night, are constantly on edge, and have a look in your eyes that is begging for a freaking break.
In a way that says you showed up today, you love your baby fiercely, and everything is going to be okay (better, even!) if you give yourself some grace and space to take a breath and put you first for once.
MEET YOUR MOTHERHOOD THERAPIST
Hi, I’m Gina — Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional and twin mom
Well-versed in the ugly-cry-in-the-shower sesh that keeps you from showing anyone you’re actually falling apart inside.
I’ve walked through twin pregnancy, pre-term labor at 33 weeks, a weeks-long NICU stay, c-section recovery, pre-eclampsia, and postpartum anxiety nobody warned me was coming. I know this season from the inside out.
So if you're sitting here wondering if anyone actually gets what you're going through… I do. Fully, personally, and completely. And I built this space specifically for you.
Motherhood therapy for the touched-out, snack-lady, everybody-needs-something-from-me life.
THIS IS VIRTUAL THERAPY FOR UTAH MOMS WHO NO LONGER WANT TO BE LAST ON THEIR OWN LIST.
My approach is nervous system informed, which means we go much deeper than talking about your feelings to look at why your body is stuck in fight-or-flight, why you feel constantly on edge even on the best days, and how to actually get you out of it.
As a mom myself, I know a 2-hour, 5 A.M. morning routine that requires solitude and silence isn’t happening. Instead, I’ll help you learn the tools and practices that you can use in real moments with children who will not stop touching you.
50 Minutes • Insurance Accepted • Private Pay Available
This is for you if any of this sounds familiar
You woke up this morning feeling behind on a list nobody assigned you yet still feels urgent.
You're the one everyone else leans on, and you genuinely cannot remember the last time someone asked how you were doing and actually listened for the real answer.
You feel pressure to be grateful for every single moment of this season, and then guilty when you're not, and then guilty about feeling guilty, and it's a whole thing.
You've mastered the art of holding it together in public and completely falling apart the second you're alone.
You've started to wonder if the version of you that existed before all of this is just... gone. And that thought is scarier than you let yourself admit.
You're so busy taking care of everyone else that your own basic needs have become an afterthought.
You scroll through your phone at night not because you want to but because it's the only thing that's just for you.
You know this season goes fast. You want to enjoy it. And you also really, really need a break.
You don't have to check every box to “deserve” therapy. One is enough.
Here’s what motherhood therapy with me looks like:
We start with the whole picture. To best support you, I need to know what's hard right now, how you got here, your history, your birth experience, your pre-baby identity, your relationships, your nervous system, your support system (or the one you wish you had) — all of it. We build that map together in our first couple of sessions so that everything we do in therapy is rooted in your specific story.
From there, we work at your pace on what's actually driving how you feel. My approach is nervous system informed, which means we go beyond talking about your feelings to look at why your body is stuck in fight-or-flight even on a "good" day. Then we build real, practical tools you can actually use in your real life, whether you only get approximately 6 minutes to yourself in a day or haven’t slept more than 5 hours a night in months.
No matter how confused, lonely, scared, or blue you feel before our session, I promise you’ll leave feeling lighter, fuller, and more prepared to handle the beautiful (and still overwhelming) chaos that is motherhood.

I help mothers work through postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, mom rage, identity loss, the mental load, and nervous system regulation.
My clients are not in crisis, but they are absolutely exhausted, on edge, grieving a version of themselves they can't tap into anymore, and wondering when they're going to stop feeling like life is happening to them. If that sounds like you, book a free, 15-minute phone consultation to start getting the support you need.

You book a session, I send you a secure video link, and you show up from wherever works for you. (Your car, your home office, and the bathroom floor with the door locked all count. Showing up with a baby strapped to your chest also counts.) Sessions are 50 minutes, completely confidential, and just as effective as sitting across from someone in person. For a lot of moms, the virtual format is actually the reason they were finally able to start. You don’t need to find childcare & commute in. You just need wifi.

That's entirely up to you and what you're looking for. If you want a more solutions-focused approach with real, practical tools and shifts, most clients start to feel meaningfully different around the six-month mark. Some moms prefer ongoing support even after they've seen major improvements, because having a consistent, judgment-free space becomes something they genuinely value. We'll talk about what's right for you as we go.
