Navigating Marriage Talks with a Traditional Mom

As a Muslim brother in my 30s, working a steady job with no need for family help, I feel ready to start my own family. I've met a sister who seems promising-she's also independent, deeply religious from a good family, and interested in taking proper Islamic steps like involving families first. When I mentioned this to my mom, she got really upset and insisted she'd find someone for me herself. Now she's pushing me to consider other matches without even asking what I think. How do I handle this respectfully while staying true to the halal process we both want?
