I offer support for all women, specializing in motherhood, women's issues, anxiety & depression, perinatal, pregnancy, & postpartum, parenting, Autism and ADHD.
What's stopping you from being the mother and woman you want to be? Maybe it's total motherhood burnout. Constant overstimulation and overwhelm. Decision fatigue and mental load. Postpartum complications. Tantrums leaving you feeling helpless. Disconnection from your partner (and yourself). Your own past keeps resurfacing. Or maybe you've just lost sight of yourself, and who you want to be. Whatever the reason, there is help. I want to work with you to decrease overstimulation, overwhelm, and burnout, and support you in developing the coping skills to create a new path in motherhood, and in life!

I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, phase of life changes, Behavorial concerns, personality disorders, relationship issues, parenting, family conflicts, trauma and abuse.
I'm so glad you're here and that you are ready to start this journey with me. I believe real change is possible, and I'm so honored to be able to be your choreographer of change as clients become their best possible selves. The hardest part is taking that first step. Be brave and take that step - so you can live your best life. Old patterns or past experiences can keep us stuck; they create obstacles to living presently. Together we will create the space for you to be more present and feel more fulfilled in your life, and reach you goals, bring structure to your life, and improve your relationship with self or others.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
