Therapy for Mom Rage & Guilt in Marietta, GA

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

Struggling with feeling overwhelmed, being on-edge, and self critical and regretful?

I work with moms who are tired of battling intense emotions while trying to stay calm, present, and in control. Therapy can help you understand what’s fueling your rage, process those emotions safely, and build strategies to respond instead of react—so you can stop just surviving and start feeling more balanced and confident in your parenting.

The moments you snap, the guilt that follows, and the constant mental loop you can’t turn off..

You feel like you’re carrying a volcano inside you—ready to erupt at any moment, sometimes over the tiniest things. One minute you’re loving your baby, the next you’re yelling or snapping at yourself or your partner, and then immediately feel guilt and shame for losing control.

It’s the little moments that trigger it: spilled milk, a crying fit, or a comment that feels small to everyone else but sets your nerves on fire. You didn’t expect motherhood to feel like this. You didn’t expect to fight with emotions that are bigger than you feel capable of handling.

A lot of the time, mom rage comes from chronic exhaustion, unresolved trauma, postpartum mood shifts, and the constant pressure to “do it all perfectly.” Add in sleep deprivation, feeling unseen, or carrying expectations you can’t meet, and it’s no wonder your patience snaps sometimes.

You’re exhausted from holding it all in, trying to stay calm, and feeling like the anger makes you a “bad mom.” The frustration seeps into your relationships, your sleep, and your sense of self—and no matter how many times you apologize or promise yourself “I won’t do that again,” it keeps happening.

YOU MAY BENEFIT FROM THIS THERAPY IF YOU…

✅ Feel frustrated, irritable, or angry more often than you expected as a mom

✅ Struggle with guilt, shame, or self-judgment after losing your temper

✅ Worry that your emotions are impacting your relationship with your child

✅ Want tools to respond instead of react and break the rage-guilt cycle

YOU MAY NOT BENEFIT FROM THIS THERAPY IF YOU…

❌ Are only looking for parenting hacks or advice to “control” your child

❌ Prefer to ignore the emotional patterns behind your anger and guilt

❌ Aren’t ready to explore triggers or make changes in how you cope

❌ Expect instant results without doing the emotional work to understand yourself

WHY WORK WITH ME?

Mom rage and guilt aren’t about being a “bad mom.” They’re about the tension of juggling endless responsibilities, exhaustion, and the high expectations we place on ourselves. You love your child, but sometimes the frustration bubbles over, and the guilt that follows can feel crushing.

Therapy with me is a space to understand your triggers, process your emotions, and break the cycle of anger and self-blame. Together, we’ll explore how stress, unmet needs, and hidden expectations contribute to this pattern and create practical ways to respond differently while still showing up as a loving parent.

Why me? Because I specialize in helping moms navigate the rage-guilt cycle without shame. I’ll help you:

  • Identify and manage triggers before they spiral into anger

  • Process guilt and self-judgment in a safe, non-judgmental space

  • Develop tools to respond calmly and confidently while honoring your needs

I’m not here to hand you quick fixes or tell you “just calm down.” I’ll sit with you in the mess, help you understand the patterns behind your reactions, and give you tools that actually work in the real, messy life of motherhood.
