Creating a Space for community, connection, & Healing

The Journey of Opening Becoming Mothers Counseling

The Journey

Opening the doors to my new therapy office in Redwood City has been a labor of love—a deeply personal journey that has been months in the making. What started as a single room has now transformed into a space of healing and safety, a place where mothers can find support, validation, and empowerment in their journey through motherhood.

The transformation of this space was a family effort. Over the course of several months, we replaced the flooring, painted the walls, carefully selected furniture, and added warm, inviting decor. Every brushstroke, every piece of furniture, and every detail in the room was chosen with intention—to create a space where women feel seen, heard, and understood. My whole family played a role in bringing this vision to life, making this space not only one of healing but also of love and dedication.

A Practice Rooted in Understanding and Compassion

Becoming Mothers Counseling is more than a mental health practice—it is a place dedicated to maternal wellness, a space where women can find the support they need during one of the most transformative periods of their lives. Whether you are expecting, in the postpartum period, or navigating the ever-changing landscape of motherhood, you deserve to feel empowered and supported.

Through our work together, you will find community and cultivate self-compassion amidst the challenges of motherhood. As a two-time survivor of Postpartum Depression, I intimately understand the struggles that can accompany this journey. The exhaustion, the identity shifts, the overwhelming love mixed with moments of doubt—I have been there. I know what it means to hold space for both joy and struggle, and I want every mother who walks through my door to know that she is not alone.

From My Journey to Yours

My own journey to motherhood has been both messy and beautiful. There have been days that felt never-ending and moments that passed in the blink of an eye. It is this deeply personal experience that led me to create Becoming Mothers Counseling. I wanted to give back to my community—to help other women navigate the immense changes that come with motherhood and to offer a gentler, more supported transition into this new role.

With the right support, you can navigate the intricate journey of motherhood with greater confidence, embracing both the chaos and the beauty it brings. My hope is that every woman who steps into this space feels a little lighter, a little more understood, and a lot more empowered.

If you are a mother seeking support, know that you are not alone. Becoming Mothers Counseling is here to walk this journey with you—one step, one session, one breath at a time.
