About My Clients
You are the mom who "has it all together" on the outside, but on the inside, you are running on empty. You are high-achieving, career-driven, and a perfectionist, yet you struggle with overwhelming anxiety, "mom rage," and the heavy weight of mom guilt. You feel like you’re failing at everything despite doing it all. I help women like you navigate the identity shifts of motherhood and the burnout of the mental load so you can feel present, confident, and whole again.
My Background and Approach
I’m Josie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in maternal mental health. My approach is warm, direct, and practical, designed for the busy woman who needs real tools, not just a place to vent. I utilize DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to help you regulate those "big" emotions and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to dismantle the perfectionistic thought patterns that keep you stuck. Having specialized training in Perinatal Mental Health, I understand the unique biological and emotional complexities of the postpartum period and beyond. In our work together, we won't just talk about the stress; we will build a meaning coping skills to help you set boundaries, lower the volume on your inner critic, and reclaim your sense of self. Whether you are navigating a new pregnancy or the chaos of toddlerhood, you don’t have to carry the mental load alone. Let’s get you back to a place of confidence and balance.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that being a mother shouldn't mean losing sight of who you are as an individual. My goal is to provide a straightforward, non-judgmental space where you can be honest about your struggles without feeling like you have to filter your experience. I’m committed to offering a place for moms to move past the noise of perfectionism and find a sustainable way to feel confident, present, and whole for their kids, spouse, and themselves.
