Therapy for the mom who feels like you're supposed to have it all together — you don’t have to.
Hi, I’m Allie — a therapist and a mom who gets what pregnancy and motherhood can stir up.
If you're feeling scared of making mistakes, overwhelmed by the pressure to “get it right,” or convinced everyone else has it together but you… you’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep pushing through it by yourself.
When you come to therapy with me, you can exhale. There’s no judgment here, no need to pretend, and definitely no “perfect mom” expectations.
You get to show up exactly as you are — messy hair, no bra, racing thoughts, lingering fears, all of it.
My style is warm, relational, and laid back. I’m just a real human sitting with you, not a polished therapist version of myself. And because I know your time is valuable, I focus on getting to the heart of things without dragging out the process.
Together, we’ll look at what’s weighing you down — the “not enough” worries, the shame the comparison, the identity shifts and help you find more clarity, confidence, and compassion for yourself. If you’re craving a space where you feel understood, grounded, and supported as you navigate pregnancy or postpartum, I’m here.
