My ideal client is a woman who feels like she's lost herself in the midst of motherhood, relationships, responsibilities, or just trying to keep up with life. She might be snapping over little things, feeling guilty afterward, overwhelmed by the mental load, or grieving the version of herself that existed before children. Often, she's the one holding it together for everyone else but inside, she feels like she's running on empty. She wants to stop yelling, find time to do the things she loves, stop second-guessing everything, have a conversation with her partner that lasts longer than 5 seconds, and simply just, breathe!
I support women through the messy & complex transitions of motherhood and identity. You might be navigating early parenthood, relationship changes, burnout, rage, guilt or anxiety. I am here to not only help you make sense of it, but work through it so you can see a better life. I bring a down-to-earth approach and a good sense of humour to every session.
I know how heavy it can feel to carry everything on your own. If you're exhausted from doing all the things and still feeling like it's not enough - you aren't alone. Therapy isn't about fixing you (you're not broken). It's about making space for you again. If you're ready to feel more grounded and more like you again, I'd LOVE to help you.
