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.
Motherhood & The Mental Load
When there's always something to remember, plan, or take care of.
When you're the one everyone depends on, it's easy for your own needs to fall to the bottom of the list.
You're keeping track of what needs to happen next, remembering the details, anticipating everyone's needs, and making sure things get done. Even when you're sitting still, your mind may still be running through the next task, the next decision, or the thing you can't afford to forget.
Over time, carrying so much of the mental and emotional weight of family life can leave you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin. You might feel guilty when you make time for yourself, struggle to ask for help, or wonder why something that looks manageable from the outside feels so difficult to sustain.
You don't have to wait until you're completely burned out to ask for support.
Therapy can help you:
Ease the mental and emotional overwhelm of motherhood
Work through mom guilt, anger, and unrealistic expectations
Set boundaries without feeling selfish
Learn to ask for and accept support
Find a healthier balance between caring for others and caring for yourself
Recognize patterns that keep you putting your own needs last
Develop 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 space to consider your own needs, too.
You can love your family deeply without having to carry everything on your own.
Anxiety & Overwhelm
When your mind won't slow down.
You're capable, responsible, and accustomed to figuring things out.
Underneath 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 takes an unexpected turn, finding your footing can take time.
Life doesn't always unfold the way you imagined. Some transitions are chosen; others arrive without warning. Whether you're stepping into something new, letting go of what you knew, or trying to make sense of circumstances beyond your control, change can bring a mix of emotions and questions about what comes next.
You might be navigating:
Moving or starting over in a new place
Changing careers, taking a promotion, or leaving a job
Ending a relationship, beginning a new one, or adjusting to divorce
Caring for aging parents or navigating an empty nest
Rethinking what you want from your work, relationships, or future
Facing an unexpected decision or a major shift in your plans
Coping with a natural disaster or the disruption of your home, community, or sense of security
Even positive changes can bring uncertainty, grief, or a sense of loss. And when change happens unexpectedly, it can be difficult to know how to move forward.
Sometimes the hardest part isn't the change itself. It's making sense of what it means for you, what you've left behind, and what comes next.
Therapy offers space to process what you're experiencing, reconnect with what matters to you, and find a way forward that feels grounded in who you are and where you want to go.
Pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood can bring profound emotional changes. While these experiences can be joyful, they can also feel overwhelming, unexpected, or more difficult than you imagined.
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
Therapy offers a space to process your experiences, understand your emotions, and reconnect with yourself at your own pace. You don't have to minimize what you've been through or feel pressured to simply move on.
Pregnancy & Postpartum
When becoming a mother
changes more than you expected.
Motherhood Beyond Postpartum
Motherhood changes as your children grow. Along the way, your own sense of self can change, too.
As your children become more independent, you may find yourself entering a season of motherhood you didn't quite anticipate. Your role within the family shifts, your relationships evolve, and the future you once imagined may look different than you expected.
You might be navigating the transition to school-age children, the teenage years, or a stage when your children need you in different ways. You may feel proud of who they've become while also wondering where that leaves you.
Who are you becoming in this next chapter of motherhood?
You might find yourself asking:
Who am I outside of being a mom?
Why does this stage of motherhood feel different than I expected?
How do I make room for my own interests, goals, and relationships as my children grow?
Why do I feel uncertain about what comes next?
What do I want this next chapter of my life to look like?
These questions don't mean you're ungrateful for your family or that something is wrong. They may simply reflect the reality that you're changing, too.
You can value your role as a mother while exploring new interests, reconsidering old expectations, and making space for parts of yourself that have taken a back seat.
Therapy can help you navigate these transitions, reconnect with what matters to you, and explore what you want for yourself in this next season of life.
You can honor the mother you've been while making room for the woman you're still becoming.

Therapy can provide space to explore the emotional and relational side of these changes.

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.
