Expert Therapy That Fits Into Your Busy Life, Not The Other Way Around
Stop managing the resentment and start reclaiming yourself. I help high-achieving moms build their own 'chosen village' and shed the guilt of an absent support system. Reconnect with your partner and kids, excel in your career, and finally feel like you again.
You’re tired of “having it all together” when you’re actually drowning inside.
Maybe you’re here because..
There’s no “village”. You’re tired of being told you can’t do it without one when your reality is a solo act. You’re the one managing the fevers, the daycare closures, and the endless logistics without a backup plan. Why is it always on me?
You’re the default parent. You love your partner, but you’re tired of being the only one who knows the shoe sizes, the birthday party RSVPs, and what’s for dinner. Even when you’re "off," your brain is still working.
You can’t get rid of the “Mom Guilt”. You’re a high-achiever at work-a lawyer, doctor, or leader-who feels like you're "failing" at home because of your career goals but you’re not fully present at work either, constantly worrying about if you’re doing “enough” for your kids.
You keep saying you’re “fine” but you’re screaming inside. You look completely put-together to the outside world, but inside, you’re doom-scrolling at 2 AM, overanalyzing how you spoke to your kids, and feeling a level of resentment that scares you. You’re high-functioning.
You don’t know who you are anymore. You’ve become so good at being "Mom" and "Employee or Boss" that you can’t remember the last time you felt like you.
This is not what you pictured motherhood to be like. You’re holding it all together, and you’re exhausted.
Less Managing.More Living.
A partnership designed for your restoration for actual change.
When I am added to your village, things start to change. Therapy with me is where the "performance" ends and your healing begins. We don’t just talk about your stress; we work to repair the exhaustion that lives in your nervous system. By addressing the root of your burnout, we create a path for you to feel whole again-not just as a mother or a professional, but as a woman who is allowed to rest and not feel guilty for it.
Heal the "Always-On" Nervous System: We move beyond "coping" with anxiety to actually calming your internal alarm system.
The Result: Moving out of fight-or-flight mode and back into a state of genuine peace.
Recover Your Identity: We gently untangle your self-worth from your productivity. You are more than what you do for other people.
The Result: Gaining the freedom to remember who you were before the world told you who to be.
Mend the Cycle of Resentment: We process the heavy emotions that come with parenting and when you feel like you don’t have support, and turning frustration into clear, self-honoring boundaries.
The Result: Healthier relationships with your partner, your children, and yourself.
Restore Your Internal Reserves: Heal the perfectionism, the people-pleasing, and the guilt- and begin the work of letting it go.
The Result: Feeling like you have a full tank again, rather than just running on fumes.
Find Ease in the Chaos: Healing doesn't mean your life stops being busy; it means you stop being frantic within it.
The Result: Navigating your responsibilities from a place of grounded, steady strength.
High-Functioning Anxiety
If you’re struggling with a brain that never quite shuts off, your mind stays trapped in a cycle of overthinking and a total inability to truly rest, as your nervous system remains braced for the next demand. This therapy with me offers you a necessary sanctuary to finally slow down and regulate that overstimulated nervous system, moving beyond the "performance" of having it all together. Together, we will untangle the patterns of isolation and self-reliance that keep anxiety running your life behind the scenes, allowing you to trade constant internal noise for a sense of genuine calm and supported ease.
Perfectionism
Perfectionism can look like high standards and strong follow-through but it often comes with relentless self-pressure, fear of mistakes, and difficulty feeling satisfied with what you’ve done. This therapy focuses on understanding the beliefs driving perfectionism, softening all-or-nothing thinking, and reducing the constant internal pressure to “get it right.” Together, we work to help you embrace flexibility, build self-compassion, and feel more confident without the weight of impossible expectations. Here, you’ll learn that you don’t have to be perfect in order to keep your high-standards.
Boundaries & People Pleasing
Learn to dismantle the anxiety that tells you your value is tied to your self-sacrifice, helping you instead to set meaningful boundaries that act as a vital safeguard for your energy. Together, we will practice expressing your needs clearly and without apology, shifting the focus from managing other people's expectations to protecting your own capacity as you navigate the heavy demands of this season.
Postpartum Anxiety & Identity Loss
The postpartum period can bring more than just physical recovery; for high-achieving women, it often includes overwhelming anxiety, constant mental noise, and a quiet sense that you’ve lost parts of who you used to be. This specialty supports you in understanding intrusive worries, easing the pressure to “do everything right,” and reconnecting with your identity beyond motherhood. Together, we work toward helping you feel calmer, more confident, and more like yourself again—while still honoring the profound transformation that comes with becoming a parent.
Motherhood without a Village
Motherhood was never meant to be done alone—yet many women find themselves navigating the transition, carrying the mental load, emotional labor, and daily logistics without the support they expected. This specialty focuses on helping you navigate the exhaustion, resentment, guilt, and identity shifts that can come from raising children without a reliable “village”. Together, we work to process grief around unmet support, build sustainable strategies, and help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected in your role as a mother.
The Mental Load
Managing the mental load isn't just about checking off a to-do list; it’s about the exhausting, invisible labor of anticipating everyone’s needs, managing the household's "operating system," and being the designated rememberer for every detail. When you are constantly over-capacity, therapy provides a dedicated space to learn how to name that invisible weight, deconstruct the "shoulds" that drive your burnout, and move from survival mode and “helping” into a life of sustainable boundaries and equitable partnership. It is time to stop being the CEO of everything and start reclaiming the mental space you deserve.
“For you only have shadows when your life’s full of sun”
Personalized, Evidence-Based Support for Confidence and Connection in Modern Motherhood
I’m a high-achieving mom, too. I’m raising young kids while juggling a career, a household, and the invisible mental load that never really turns off. You’ll usually find me with an iced coffee in hand (yes, even in the Winter), squeezing in a Peloton ride when I can to move my body, or escaping into a romantasy novel after bedtime (if I don’t fall asleep first). On slower days, I love chasing my four-year-old on his dump truck and watching my one-year-old light up when her brother walks in the room. Equal parts chaos and joy.
Like many working moms, I know what it’s like to look “put together” on the outside while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and stretched thin on the inside. I, too, never thought this was what being a mother looked like. I wanted to do it all, and I wanted to do it perfectly- I found out the hard way. I remember thinking “how do I manage everything? Why did I have to do everything? I’m so tired, I just want a break. What have I done- is this what my life has come to”?
And so I built this practice to be that support system for you so you don’t have to feel the way I did. We are navigating an impossible ask. The constant pressure to do everything well- to be present at work, provide for your family, be patient at home, and still somehow take care of yourself…and do it all without this “village” that everyones talking about? Have I mentioned the need to get that body back, too? W.T.F.
My work is rooted in both professional training and lived experience.
You’re not broken or failing—you’re carrying too much.
I help working moms with young children-who don’t have the “village” they expected-move from pressure and overwhelm to calm, connection, and sustainable success at work and at home.
Together, we quiet the fear that your career is costing you connection with your family, heal resentment for doing it all, and build real support that fits your life—so you can feel present at home, confident at work, and deeply certain you are doing enough, doing it well and not doing it alone.
You don’t need fixing. You need support as the woman and mom you already are.
