Clients I Work With

You are the high-achieving, career-driven mom who looks like she has it all together on the outside, but on the inside, you're running on empty. I specialize in helping women navigate the heavy mental load, 'mom rage,' and the overwhelming weight of perfectionism. I provide a straightforward, non-judgmental space for you to move past the noise of mom guilt and rediscover a sense of presence, confidence, and wholeness for yourself and your family.

Approach

My approach is active and solution-focused. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shift perfectionist thought patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to provide practical tools for managing intense overwhelm in real-time. I also incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to ensure we are working toward tangible results, helping you feel more grounded and capable in your daily life. Sessions are collaborative, direct, and focused on helping you find sustainable ways to feel like yourself again.

Beliefs & Lived Experience

I believe that becoming a mother shouldn't mean losing sight of who you are as an individual. My goal is to offer a space where you can be honest about your struggles without feeling like you have to filter your experience. I’m committed to supporting moms in breaking the cycle of 'performing' happiness and instead building a life that feels authentic and manageable
