If you or your child or family member is living with chronic illness or serious medical needs, or if you work in health care and feel stretched thin, you’ve likely learned to keep going even when you’re overwhelmed. You may carry stress quietly, feel responsible for everyone else’s needs, or sense that no one fully understands what your daily life requires. I offer a space where you or your loved one can finally slow down, be understood, and make sense of the emotional impact of medical stress—without minimizing your experience. You deserve a place to feel supported—not just responsible.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with motherhood? Struggling with your postpartum journey? Feeling guilty or maybe thinking “I'm not good at this...” If so, talking to someone can help you understand what you are going through. Sometimes talking to someone outside of your family and friends can help in processing things and begin to understand why you are feeling the way you are. It can be difficult to find the words to express what it is you have been feeling, but it can get easier with some help. Becoming a mom is hard, being a mother is hard too.
