Build Stronger Healthier Relationships

Whether it’s with your child, partner, or even your own mother, I will give you the tools to improve communication, set boundaries, and create more meaningful connections with the people who matter most.

What Are Your Feelings Costing You?

You’re running on empty. Every day feels like a battle with stress and exhaustion. The things that once brought you joy now feel out of reach—you’re too tired, too busy, and you don’t feel like yourself anymore.

You second-guess every decision, yet it never feels like enough, no matter how hard you try.  Small choices feel overwhelming, and past struggles seem to keep creeping into the present.

You hate how you act when you’re overwhelmed, but you don’t know how to stop. After you snap at them, the look in your child’s eyes breaks you—you don’t want them to remember you as the angry mom. Yet, you feel emotionally drained and alone in a way no one understands.

Your relationships may be strained, too. Conversations with your teen, partner, or adult child feel tense and awkward when you want them to feel warm and close. This builds resentment, and you wonder—what if things never get better?

The longer you push through without support, the harder it gets. The sleepless nights, the guilt, the mental load—it’s not just “part of motherhood.” It’s a sign that you need care too.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

You don’t have to do this alone.

You’re doing everything you can to hold it all together, but inside, you feel like you’re unraveling. The constant worry and self-doubt is exhausting. You love your family deeply, but somewhere along the way, you’ve lost yourself.

With over 25 years of experience helping more than 400 moms navigate pregnancy, postpartum depression, parenting struggles, anxiety, ADHD, past trauma, and parent-child relationships, I know how overwhelming it can feel. My approach isn’t about giving you more things to do—it’s about helping you lighten your emotional load and helping you feel like you have control over yourself and your future again.

You deserve support. You deserve peace. And most of all—you deserve to feel like you again.

“When Moms Thrive, Families Flourish — And So Does the World.”

I believe when you are emotionally supported and empowered, you parent with more patience, confidence, and love—creating a home where both you and your children thrive. Prioritizing your mental health isn’t selfish or not essential; it’s the key to experiencing more joy, deeper relationships, and a greater sense of who you are. When you feel whole, you raise emotionally healthy children and build a life filled with meaning, balance, and fulfillment. The ripple effect of your well-being extends beyond your family, shaping a kinder, more compassionate world. Every mother deserves to not just survive motherhood, but to truly live.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I Have Never Been To Therapy Before? What Should I Expect?

That’s completely okay! Many of my clients are new to therapy, and I make the process easy, and comfortable. We’ll start at your pace, and I’ll guide you through every step so you feel supported, not overwhelmed.

Therapy with me is a safe, pressure-free space. We’ll start by discussing what’s on your mind, what’s been weighing you down, and what you hope to get out of therapy. My goal is to help you feel comfortable and supported from day one, no matter where you’re starting from.

How often do I need to come to therapy and how many sessions do i need to commit to?

Most clients start with weekly sessions to build momentum, then move to biweekly or monthly as they feel more confident. Based on your needs, schedule, and goals, I will make recommendations, but you’ll decide what works best for you.

Nope! There’s no commitment required. You can attend as many or as few sessions as you need, and we’ll adjust based on what feels right for you.

i should be Able to handle this on my own. Why do I need therapy? What If I just feel Guilty Spending all this time and money on myself?

Struggling alone doesn’t make you stronger—it just makes things harder. Therapy isn’t about weakness; it’s about getting the right tools to feel better, faster.

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. When you feel better, you’re more present, patient, and connected with the people you love. Prioritizing your mental health makes everything else in life easier.

Do I need In-Person sessions for therapy to work? What If I don't have time for therapy?

No! Online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy—and often even more convenient. You’ll get the same personalized support, just from the comfort of your own home, without the stress of commuting or arranging childcare.

I know life is busy, but therapy actually gives you back time by helping you manage stress more effectively. When you feel less overwhelmed, parenting and daily life feel easier. Plus, my online sessions make it easy to fit therapy into your schedule.

What if I can’t afford therapy, or my insurance doesn’t cover it?

While I’m out of network, many insurance plans offer reimbursement for OON therapy.  You may have an HSA or FSA that will also help cover the cost.  I can file insurance for you, and my specialized approach often leads to faster, longer-lasting progress—making it a valuable investment in your well-being.  Learn more on my Fees and Insurance Page.

How do I know if therapy is right for me? What if Therapy is too Emotionally difficult for me?

If you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck, therapy can help. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from support. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, ADHD, past trauma, or just feeling lost in motherhood, therapy gives you clarity, relief, and a path forward.

Therapy isn’t about forcing you to talk about things you’re not ready for. We’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable and safe for you. My goal is to help you feel supported, not overwhelmed.

What if I Have Tried Therapy Before and It Didn't Help?

What if I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help?

Not all therapy is the same. If past experiences didn’t feel helpful, they may not have been the right approach or fit. I will want to know about your past therapy experiences so I can ensure that your therapy is different this time and effective.
