Being a parent, whether you are at the stage of trying to conceive or amid parenting chaos, can be both overwhelming and joyful. We face so much pressure as parents today and it can be really challenging to navigate. It can lead to feelings of worthlessness, sadness, increased fatigue, low motivation, overthinking, and difficulty sleeping. These challenges can also negatively impact partnerships, making two partners feel isolated and alone while in a relationship.

After our first session, most of my clients express feeling relief and hope. Later in therapy, they tell me that sessions have changed their lives in surprising ways, and that they have learned things about themselves they didn't know before. It's very important to me that therapy is useful and helpful. During our first session, we'll explore your goals and needs in therapy, and how you would like to feel better. At the end of our first hour together, you'll have someone on your side to help, and a plan to move forward. I look forward to connecting with you soon!
