You thought motherhood would be different. You pictured yourself delighting in your new baby. However, you might be feeling just the opposite.

I understand you don't feel like yourself right now, but I can help you find joy and contentment in motherhood. Let me walk beside you while we find your new normal, build a strong attachment to your baby, support your relationships, and experience joy in living.

Now accepting clients in person and on-line. Evening and weekend appointments available. It takes courage to reach out and ask for help, and more importantly to find someone who you can connect with. Feelings of stress, anger, resentment, sadness and fear can feel overwhelming. You don't have to struggle alone. I will meet you where you are and together we will figure out where you want to be and how to get there. As a experienced therapist with over twenty years working in the mental health field, I'm confident working collaboratively we can overcome various challenges you are experiencing.

Accepting new clients: Along your life journey you, or your child/adolescent, may have hit unanticipated challenges, transitions, or trauma, impacting your well-being and capacity to move forward. Others may view you as someone who has it all together, but internally you are stressed, anxious, unmotivated, or shut down. Perhaps, this is happening to your child, or adolescent, and as a parent you have exhausted all ideas, and don’t know where to turn. These difficulties are impacting the emotional/mental health of yourself, your relationships, your work, your schooling, and/or your family dynamics, leaving you feeling unfulfilled.

People see you as the one who has it all together, but deep down you feel like something is missing, you have feelings of shame and thoughts like "I'm not good enough". You're tired, over-worked, overwhelmed and anxious much of the time. Putting up this facade is taking a toll on your emotional health. Constantly striving to do it all is exhausting and not fulfilling for you.
