You're the one everyone counts on. The one who remembers it all, handles everything, and holds the whole household together. On the inside though, you feel like you're failing — exhausted in ways you can't explain to anyone, counting down until the kids are in bed and the house is finally quiet. If you've started reaching for a glass of wine at the end of the day just to take the edge off — and are starting to wonder if that's something to look at — you're in the right place.
As a therapist, I bring 15 years of clinical expertise along with my real life experience as a mom to create an authentic, no judgement space for moms to set down the mental load they are carrying. Together you will learn practical skills that fit into your life to help you step out of survival mode and learn to love motherhood again.
I know asking for help isn't easy, especially when you're the one used to doing it all yourself. But, you don't have to have it figured out to reach out. My approach is direct, warm, and collaborative — we work together at your pace, without judgment or pressure. If something here resonates, reach out for a free consultation.
