Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Mason, OH

Life can feel overwhelming & exhausting, causing us to feel burned out, stressed out, & stuck surviving instead of thriving. Many things can lead us to this place, including trauma, depression, masking our neurodivergences, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, parenting, pregnancy, being the default parent, carrying a heavy mental load, struggling in our relationships with food & our bodies, complicated relationships, & managing a huge workload at home, school, & work. You may want to figure out how to balance life's stressors, accept & love your authentic self, set boundaries, eat intuitively, process trauma, initiate and complete tasks, etc.

Many of us come to counseling because we are struggling with feelings of overwhelm, perfectionism, burnout, lack of motivation, relationship issues, feelings of inadequacy, self-defeating behavior, or negative self-talk. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to identify and reduce negative thoughts and behaviors, build on strengths, and clarify personal values and goals. I encourage clients to weave meaningful connections between the past and the present as a pathway to positive change in the future.

Life is not always easy and often takes a turn in a direction that you may not have seen coming. Whether you are in a season of transition, loss, grief, or wanting to grow and become the best version of you I would love to walk alongside you. As a counselor I work through a person-centered, adlerian, and trauma informed lense to create a safe space for my clients to recognize, process, and work through the emotions and thoughts that come along in life. I love meeting my clients where they are at and through therapy helping them gain insight and come to recognize their full potential.

You may have ended up here if you have found yourself trying all of the fad diets only to have gained the weight back. When someone pulls out the dessert at events, you probably feel embarrassed, ashamed, and tend to withdraw because the thoughts you have about food consume you. It makes total sense that you believe if you were “the right size” you’d be happy and content with your body. The way we think and feel about our bodies and food directly impact our mental and physical health. In reality, the guilt and anxiety you have around food is what you need some support around – we get that and we are here for you!
