Therapy for the Things You're Carrying
Support for women who are used to holding everything together and are ready to make space for themselves, too.
Motherhood & The Mental Load
When you're the one everyone depends on.
You love your family, but carrying the emotional and mental weight of everyone else's needs can leave very little room for you.
Maybe you're constantly anticipating what's next, managing schedules, remembering everything, and making sure everyone else is okay. You may feel guilty when you prioritize yourself, or wonder why something looks so manageable from the outside yet feels so exhausting.
You don't have to wait until you're completely burned out to ask for support.
Therapy can help you:
Reduce the mental and emotional overwhelm of motherhood
Work through mom guilt, rage and unrealistic expectations
Set boundaries without feeling selfish
Learn to ask for and accept support
Navigate the tension between caring for others and caring for yourself
Reconnect with the parts of yourself that can get lost in motherhood
Create a more sustainable relationship with your responsibilities
Whether you're adjusting to motherhood, raising young children, or navigating a new season as your children grow, you deserve support, too.
You can love being a mom and still need space to be yourself.
Anxiety & Overwhelm
When you look like you have it all together, but don't feel that way inside.
You may be the person everyone counts on. You're capable, responsible, and accustomed to figuring things out.
But underneath the competence, you may be overthinking, worrying, anticipating problems, or constantly feeling like you're falling behind.
Maybe you have difficulty slowing down because there's always something else to do. Maybe your mind rarely feels quiet. Or maybe you're exhausted from trying to make everything “just right.”
Therapy can help you:
Understand the patterns behind anxiety and overwhelm
Quiet the constant mental chatter
Break free from perfectionism and people-pleasing
Develop healthier boundaries
Manage worry and overthinking
Build greater confidence in your decisions
Learn to slow down without feeling guilty
Feel more present and less controlled by your to-do list
You don't have to keep pushing through just because you're good at it.
You can be capable and still need support.
Life Transitions & Detours
When life changes and you are not quite sure who you are becoming.
Some transitions are exciting. Others are painful. And some are both.
A change in your career, relationship, family, identity, or responsibilities can leave you feeling unsettled. Sometimes, it’s even when the change was something you wanted.
You may find yourself thinking:
Who am I now?
What do I actually want?
Why doesn't this feel the way I thought it would?
What comes next?
I work with women navigating meaningful transitions such as:
Becoming a mother
Children growing and changing family dynamics
Career changes or professional transitions
Relocation or starting over
Relationship changes, separation, or divorce
Caring for aging parents
Empty nest and changing family roles
Shifts in identity, priorities, or purpose
Major life changes that leave you feeling uncertain about what comes next
Therapy can provide a place to process what's changing, grieve what you're leaving behind, and reconnect with what matters to you now.
You don't have to have the next chapter figured out before you begin.
Sometimes you just need space to understand where you are, before you can decide where you're going.
Pregnancy, Postpartum & Beyond
When becoming a mother changes more than you expected.
Pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood can bring profound emotional changes. Sometimes they're joyful. Sometimes they're overwhelming. And sometimes they're much harder than you expected.
As a Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) therapist, I provide specialized support for women navigating the emotional challenges surrounding pregnancy and motherhood.
I work with women experiencing:
Anxiety during pregnancy or postpartum
Postpartum depression
Postpartum anxiety
Intrusive or unwanted thoughts
Difficult or traumatic birth experiences
Feeling disconnected from yourself after becoming a mother
Difficulty adjusting to your new identity and responsibilities
Grief and loss surrounding pregnancy or birth
Feeling like motherhood isn't what you expected
Emotional struggles that began during the perinatal period but were never fully addressed
And you don't have to be newly postpartum to benefit from this work.
Sometimes the emotional impact of pregnancy, birth, or early motherhood doesn't surface until months or even years later. You may be functioning well on the outside while still carrying an experience you never had the space to process.
Therapy can help you make sense of what happened, reconnect with yourself, and move forward without feeling like you have to simply “get over it.”
You deserve support—not just during the transition into motherhood, but in the woman you are becoming because of it.
You Don't Have to Figure It All Out Alone
You may be used to being the strong one, the capable one, or the person everyone turns to.
Therapy can be a place where you don't have to be any of those things.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating a move, loss, adjusting to professional roles, motherhood, or simply realizing that the way you've been doing things isn't working anymore, there is room to pause and make space for yourself.
