hello there.
I’m vanessa,
YOUR relatable mom-therapist
And not the fake relatable on social media, but the overthinking if I handled that fifth tantrum of the day right kind of real.
I know you love your baby, but let's be honest—you didn’t expect motherhood to turn your world upside down. You’re used to excelling at everything, but now, your perfectionism is making you feel like you’re falling short. You’re questioning yourself, doubting whether you truly understand what it means to be a mom, and not recognizing the woman in the mirror.
Here’s the thing: what you’re going through is called Matrescence. It’s a huge transformation that no one warned you about, and it’s why your old ways of doing things—including your perfectionism—need a serious update. But don’t worry, I’m not telling you to overcome perfectionism. Instead, let’s reshape it to work for you, not against you.
We’ve nailed down prenatal care and postpartum recovery, but when it comes to guiding moms through the identity shifts of motherhood, we’re still in the dark.
I help bring that, and you, into the light.

survival-mode mama:
It's time you put you first.
There’s a common misconception that motherhood must be all-consuming, and you lose yourself in it. I say, you can have the kind of motherhood and womanhood you envisioned. The thriving career. The presence with your children. The free time for yourself. The kid-free date nights with your husband. And whatever the heck else you want from life. But you have to go about it differently than you did in your pre-mama era.
Here, we don't do "losing yourself". I'm all about redefining and rediscovering!
