Empowering Modern Mothers to Thrive
Helping busy moms and their families find mental and emotional peace
Let’s face it - Motherhood Isn’t Meant to Feel This Heavy
Motherhood wasn’t supposed to feel like this constantly bracing, constantly overwhelmed, constantly on edge.
You’re exhausted, but you still can’t fully rest.
Your mind races with what-ifs, should-haves, and constant worry.
You snap one minute, tear up the next, and then feel guilty for not being more patient.
The noise, the crying, the demands, the endless decisions, your nervous system is already at a 10 before the day even starts.
You adore your kids, but you’re touched-out, overstimulated, and quietly drowning under expectations no one prepared you for.
You’re not weak. You’re not failing.
You are overwhelmed and you deserve the kind of support that actually helps.
It’s More Than Stress. It’s the Mental Load, the Pressure, and the Invisible Work
Maybe you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, trauma, or a mix of all of it.
Maybe you’re neurodivergent (ADHD or autism) in a world that tells moms to parent in ways that don’t fit your brain or your nervous system.
Or maybe it’s the relentless emotional labor of modern motherhood:
Trying to be the “perfect” mom when it’s costing you your peace
Carrying the full mental load because no one else notices the details
Scrolling and wondering why everyone else looks like they’re thriving
Putting your needs last because there’s never time or space for you
Feeling disconnected from yourself, your body, your partner, or your family
Numb, overwhelmed, and barely keeping your head above water
This isn’t about willpower or “trying harder.” This is about finally getting support that understands what you’re living every day.
Take a deep breath, because you are not alone.
You’ve come to the right place.
Hi, I’m Stephanie.
I’m a mom and I believe in the power of asking for help.
As a licensed therapist—and a mom—I really get how heavy modern motherhood can feel. The pressure to be everything for everyone? It’s real. That kind of stress and exhaustion doesn’t just come out of nowhere—it's rooted in your story, your relationships, and the unrealistic expectations moms carry every day.
In our work together, I look at the bigger picture. We’ll make sense of how your past, your culture, identity, and your current life all intersect—and how they might be showing up in things like postpartum depression, anxiety, disconnection from your partner, or feeling like you’re constantly running on empty.
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you—because you’re not broken. It’s about finding your center again, reconnecting with yourself, and building the support you deserve so you can feel more present, grounded, and like you again.
Are you ready to experience the remarkable shift that therapy can bring you?
Heal old emotional stuff.
Handle stress without feeling totally wiped out by the end of the day.
Be truly present—with your kids, your partner, and yourself.
Clear the mental fog and finally feel like you can think straight.
Stop snapping and start responding with calm and clarity.
Make decisions without spiraling into overthinking or guilt.
Lean on others without feeling like a burden.
Trust yourself again and feel confident running your life your way.
If you're nodding along, you're in the right place. Let’s get you the support you deserve. 💛
