Are you feeling overwhelmed by the mental load of motherhood? Perhaps you’re navigating postpartum anxiety, struggling with mom guilt, or noticing burnout as you juggle the needs of your family with your own. I specialize in supporting women through the perinatal period—fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood—so you don’t have to carry these challenges alone. As a licensed therapist in Maryland, I offer a warm, collaborative space where we can explore what feels heavy and create strategies that help you feel more grounded.

My approach blends evidence-based practices with compassion, focusing on helping you reduce anxiety, set boundaries, and reconnect with yourself in this new season of life.

Whether you’re adjusting to life with a newborn, balancing multiple children, or experiencing shifts in your relationships and identity, therapy can be a place to process and rebuild your confidence. If you’re ready to feel less overwhelmed and more like yourself again, I’d love to hold space for you. Reach out today to schedule a consultation.
