About My Clients
I work with moms who are struggling with their partner and looking for a safe space to open up about the toll parenting has taken on their romantic relationship. I will help you gain a deeper understanding of what is at the core of your relationship issues and how to feel confident talking about those issues with your partner so minor disagreements don't keep leading to major blow-ups. I know you want your relationship to work - let's work together to get it back on track!
My Background and Approach
As a mother of two young kids myself, I'm in the thick of it, just like you. My relationship started to suffer after our first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage and we've been working hard ever since to weather the storms that parenting brings as we had our son in November 2021 and our daughter in April 2024. Through my own work in therapy, my relationship has started to heal and I fully believe that yours can, too. A little guidance and help can go a long way! I became a therapist in 2015 and opened my own practice in 2018. I have a variety of tools that I use when working with my clients, including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), emotionally focused individual therapy (EFIT) and focusing. I'll spend the first three sessions with you taking a deep-dive into your background so that I really get to know you. After that, I'll make sure that every session you leave with a new insight and also a new strategy to try in your real life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
If you're looking for a therapist who really "gets it", you've come to the right place. I've experienced firsthand with my husband how parenthood stirs up lots of issues that you never knew were there before kids. It's true that once a baby comes into the picture, so many things get put on the backburner, especially your relationship as you just try to survive each day and finish the to-do list. It's a scary place to be, knowing that you can't go back to "how it was before" but also not knowing how to find each other again. I combine my professional knowledge as a therapist along with my real-life experience as a busy mom; that combination has led me to discover what it takes to move from a place of just getting through each day to actually enjoying each day. Motherhood is a wild ride and we can't do it alone. We need people we feel comfortable with to really open up to and share our deepest fears. That's who I want to be for you.
