I help high-achieving, overwhelmed women (including moms or hope to be moms) who are used to holding it all together but find themselves feeling perpetually behind, mentally overloaded, and disconnected from who they are. Let's get you out of patterns of overthinking, overdoing, and overextending so you can create a life that feels as good on the inside as it might look on the outside
Do you feel you’ve spent so much of your life being hard on yourself—pushing your needs aside, battling guilt, and feeling stuck in cycles of never being ‘enough? Maybe you struggle to settle in both your brain and body, constantly in motion but never tuned in.
Learn how your nervous system responds to stress in motherhood and relationships—and what you can do to support yourself in the moment.
Individual mental health counseling with me may be for you if:
-
You’ve spent so much of your life being hard on yourself — pushing your needs aside, battling guilt, and feeling stuck in cycles of never being ‘enough.'
-
You are navigating the often silent grief that can come with unexpected challenges in our reproductive years (loss, infertility, mourning ideal family size)
-
Motherhood and postpartum often stir up complicated feelings about our bodies, self-worth, and identity.
-
Feeling shifts in your relationship with your partner and/or self as new parents
-
Fear, worry, low motivation and/or going through the motions are keeping you from feeling present
-
You want to understand your patterns and behaviors in relationships with others and/or yourself
Since mental health is not the only aspect of overall health, I believe it is important to look at the whole picture, which also includes nutrition, movement, social, cultrual, and spiritual health. If needs arise that are beyond how I can support, I work to connect you with providers who can.
*Sessions are conducted both in person and online (NYS ONLY), although in person options are limited*
