Does motherhood feel like it’s hitting you harder than everyone else?
Is your mind constantly racing—like you can’t slow it down, no matter how hard you try?
Do you feel overstimulated, easily frustrated, or touched out by the constant demands of your baby, children, or partner?
Are you struggling to keep up with daily life—feeling scattered, stuck, or unable to focus?
Does it feel like you’re drowning in the mental load… and no longer enjoying the things that used to make you feel like yourself?
Did you recently receive a late diagnosis of ADHD or autism—and feel both relief and grief?
Do you feel checked out, like you’re just going through the motions of daily life?
Mama, I see you. I hear you. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep doing this on your own.

My Approach to Therapy
My approach to therapy is warm, relational, and focused on helping you feel more like yourself again.
I believe healing happens in safe, supportive relationships. We’ll move at your pace—building self-trust, understanding your experiences, and creating meaningful, lasting change.
My work is trauma-informed and integrates a mind-body (somatic) approach, recognizing that stress and overwhelm live in both the mind and body. Together, we’ll build awareness of your nervous system and develop tools to help you feel more grounded, calm, and in control.
I incorporate:
Attachment-based therapy
Nervous system regulation
Somatic (mind-body) awareness
Values-focused work
Self-compassion and confidence-building
Evidence-based, practical strategies for daily life
I also respect that your time is valuable. Our sessions are intentional and focused—balancing deeper insight with tools you can use right away.
This is collaborative, personalized therapy—designed to support you in feeling more clear, connected, and grounded in your everyday life.
