I help women reduce their anxiety and depression by increasing their ability to acknowledge, name, and manage the default thinking, feelings, and behavior patterns that are no longer serving them.

My clients struggle as you do. Despite how hard they work, how organized, how driven, and on top of it they try to be; life is hard.

When they first come in, they feel lost and confused why life feels so hard when they’ve done everything right. They’ve followed all the rules. Checked all the boxes. Read the books. Wrote the lists. Still, this is hard and overwhelming.

They feel stuck and unable to make choices. Big things and little things feel equally overwhelming and unmanageable. Or they find themselves making choices that they later regret and don’t understand why they made them.

They are exhausted from being the emotional and logistical managers for their families. They deny their own feelings to manage the experience of others, all day long. They hide pieces of themselves hoping to make other’s lives easier. Eventually, these pieces are so crumpled they are unable to fit them into the puzzle any longer.

Their ongoing struggle to understand themselves and connect to their partners and children in genuine authentic ways get in the way of living the life that they want in so many ways. They aren’t the kind of mother that they always imagined that they would be. They feel like they are failing and their confidence is tanking. They are worried that they are ruining their kids.

The anxiety is too much and they feel that they are either at 100% or 0%. They want to be the happy, peaceful, calm parent and partner. There is just nothing left in the tank.

This doesn’t have to be true for you.

Counseling is a journey of self-discovery, connection, and healing with someone you can trust. I believe that you can live your best life and regain a true sense of who you are, what you are worth, and where you want to be.
