You didn’t expect to feel this anxious, this angry, or this lost. Maybe you yell more than you'd like. Maybe you cry after the kids go to bed. Maybe you're stuck in a cycle of guilt, burnout, & endless “shoulds.” You’re not broken—& you’re definitely not alone. As a therapist, a mother, and someone who’s been in the trenches, I help women untangle the overwhelm, perfectionism, and deep love that motherhood brings. You don’t have to be a perfect parent—you just need support.

My approach is honest & direct, with a healthy dose of humor & tough love. I’ll hold space for what’s heavy while also helping you learn practical tools to feel better in the real, everyday stress of raising a family.

If you are ready to stop judging your thoughts, take back control of your emotional world, and start showing up with more calm and confidence—let’s talk. Together, we’ll build on what’s already going right and move you toward a version of motherhood that feels more peaceful, more present, and more like you.
