This mom thing is a lot! You are juggling work, family, the endless mental load of remembering everyone’s everything... and somehow still feel like you’re not doing enough. You catch yourself snapping at your kids, scrolling for escape, and wondering when you stopped feeling like yourself. Then comes the guilt for even feeling that way. You tell yourself to be grateful, but honestly—you’re just tired, touched-out, and trying to survive on caffeine and guilt trips.

In therapy, we’ll unpack the chaos, laugh at the absurd parts, and build tools that actually work in real life. Together, we’ll quiet the guilt, set realistic expectations, and help you feel more confident, calm, and like yourself again.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 15 years of experience helping women navigate anxiety, burnout, & identity shifts that come with motherhood. My approach is real, honest, & infused with humor—because healing doesn’t have to be heavy 100% of the time. If you’re ready to stop surviving and start feeling like yourself again, let’s talk.
