Are you an ambitious working mom who just feels plain exhausted? You care about your career but you also have a deep longing and need to be present with your family. Balancing career and home life can feel like an exhausting game of tug-of-war for many women. Your brain is constantly going and the mental load is overwhelming! This might show up as fatigue, chaos in your household, mom guilt, mom rage, increasing frustration related to your career, or even challenges with your partner.

Grief doesn't follow a schedule. You know that better than anyone. One moment you're fine, moving through the day, checking the list, holding it together and then something small breaks the surface and you're right back in it. The weight of it is unlike anything you expected. It sits in your chest, shows up in your sleep, follows you into rooms where you're supposed to be present for other people. You keep waiting to feel like yourself again. Every day you tell yourself it will pass. You keep going through the motions regardless. And underneath all of it, the same loop trapping you in your own mind: when does this get easier?

You thought you had moved on. You built a life around it, the routines, the relationships, the version of yourself that functions just fine. And then something happens. Not always something big. Sometimes a sound, a tone of voice, a moment that should be ordinary. And suddenly you are back there. The body remembers what the mind worked so hard to put away. The waves come without warning, anger that feels too big for the room, shutdown that arrives out of nowhere, exhaustion from being on guard in a world that does not know you are still carrying something old. You are not broken. But something underneath is still unfinished.

You are good at your job. That is not the problem. The problem is that somewhere between the deliverables and the deadlines and the performance you have kept up for years, you lost track of the person doing it all. You wake up tired and push through anyway. You tell yourself this is temporary, that things will slow down, that you will feel better once this project closes or this quarter ends. But the projects close and the quarters end and the feeling does not change. Underneath the competence is something that has not been named out loud yet, an exhaustion that sleep cannot touch. Nobody asks. Nobody knows.

Something shifted and you are not sure when it happened. The life you built is still here, the relationships, the routines, the roles you have played for decades. But the person standing inside all of it feels different. Older in ways that have nothing to do with the number. The body moves differently. The mirror shows someone you are still getting used to. The children are grown. The career is winding down, or already has. And in the space where the next chapter is supposed to be, there is more quiet than you expected. Not peace, exactly. Just quiet. And underneath it, a question you have not said out loud yet: who am I now?

The things that we experience and go through in life can create different lens in which we see ourselves. Like a pair of glasses, each one is different and can have a different impact on the story we tell about who we are. Sometimes with the things we experience can create a lens of low sense of self, anxiety, depression, or even trauma responses. It's important to have someone you trust who can aid in walking you through those different experiences to be able to dismantle the thoughts and the emotions, from the experiences to lead you to living a happier and more fulfilling life.

My work is grounded in the understanding that our experiences shape how we see ourselves and relate to others. In therapy, we’ll explore those patterns with curiosity and compassion, discovering new ways to connect and grow.
I provide therapy for adolescents and individuals navigating anxiety, depression, the impact of trauma, and life transitions. I'm also interested in supporting mothers seeking balance and reconnection with their identity and sense of self.

On the outside, things look handled.
Responsibilities get met. People rely on you. You show up how you are supposed to.
Inside, it feels different.
Overwhelmed. Disconnected. Stuck in patterns that keep repeating no matter how much effort goes into pushing through.
A lot gets carried without being said.
Everything stays together, but something deeper keeps asking for attention.
You pray. You scroll. You push through.
You tell yourself this is just how life feels sometimes.
Then it hits again in a quiet moment.
That part of you never left.
Still there. Still waiting.
Still asking, when do I get to be real again?

You may be in a space where you’ve tried to do everything on your own, holding it together for everyone else, pouring out your energy into family, work, and relationships, while quietly carrying the weight of your own struggles with no place to lay them down. Maybe you’ve been searching for peace, direction, and clarity, and you’ve come to realize that what’s missing is not just healing for your mind, but restoration for your soul. You're ready to invite God into your healing, and to finally allow yourself to rest in His presence while also doing the work to grow.

My focus is on supporting parents and caregivers navigating the physical and emotional toll of giving too much for too long.
You give and give and give. You know how to take care of everyone else, the appointments, the needs, the middle-of-the-night moments, the emotional weight no one else seems to notice. And your own needs? They went on the back burner so long ago you stopped checking. Now the chest is tight. The sleep is not restful. You wake up already tired and push through on fumes because stopping feels impossible. You tell yourself this is what love looks like. But love should not leave you running this empty. Your body has been sending signals. The question is whether anyone is going to finally listen to you the way you listen to everyone else.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
