About My Clients

Do you struggle with sensory overload, postpartum anxiety, or parenting burnout that drains your patience and leaves you snapping at the people you love most? Do you feel frustrated and depleted by the nonstop noise, clutter, and pressure to “do it all” perfectly? Do you hope motherhood could feel lighter? Now more than ever, women in early parenthood feel uncertain and isolated while navigating big emotions—both their child’s and their own.

My Background and Approach

I combine warmth, humor, and real-world practicality. We’ll start by exploring your story, values, and strengths. Together, we’ll pinpoint the root of stressors—whether it’s cultural expectations, trauma history, sensory overwhelm, people-pleasing, or chronically ignoring your own needs. I believe there is no “one-size-fits-all” roadmap to motherhood. Instead, you deserve compassionate, practical support that honors your unique strengths, values, and family culture. My training includes DBT, CBT, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and I’m proudly neurodiversity-affirming and LGBTQIA+ inclusive. I work from a social model of disability and am deeply committed to dismantling unrealistic “super-mom” expectations by equipping you with tools to meet your needs—so you can show up as the best parent and person you want to be.
