You’re the one everyone depends on—managing schedules, emotions, and the invisible mental load that keeps everything running. From the outside, you seem like you have it together. Inside, you’re exhausted. You love your kids, but you miss yourself. Maybe you’re overwhelmed, anxious, overstimulated, or snapping over little things and feeling guilty afterward. Your relationship may feel different too—more like roommates or co-managers than partners. You’re tired of feeling unseen, resentful, and responsible for everything. You want to feel like yourself again, but you’re not sure how to get there.
Therapy with me isn’t just a place to vent. We’ll get curious about what’s underneath the anxiety, overwhelm, resentment, or rage—and the patterns keeping you stuck. We’ll work on boundaries without guilt, communicating before you reach your breaking point, and making space for your needs again.
I’m warm, direct, and deeply relational. I’ll support you while also gently challenging the patterns that aren’t serving you. You don’t have to keep white-knuckling life or trying to hold everything together alone. There’s a way to feel more steady, connected, and like yourself again. Let’s talk.
