What would it feel like to stop carrying everything by yourself and finally feel supported?
You didn’t imagine it would look like this. The house is full, but your heart feels empty. You’ve been steady for everyone including your kids, your partner, and your work but you’re running on fumes. You lie awake replaying the day, wondering when you started feeling more like the manager of your life than the main character in it.
You thought things would be easier by now, that your marriage would feel closer, that you’d feel calmer as a parent, and that life wouldn't feel quiet so heavy. Instead, you’re stretched thin and unsure how to slow down. You want peace, but you’re not sure where to find it anymore.
This isn't what you imagined life to look like
You’ve tried so hard to make it work. You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, downloaded the apps, promised yourself more self-care. You’ve journaled, set boundaries, and tried to think your way through it. Some days you rally; other days, you’re just tired of trying.
You’re smart, capable, and self-aware. You want to feel calm in your own skin, confident in your choices, and connected to people who see you for who you are, not just what you do.
We’d Be a Good Fit if
You feel alone despite doing everything for everyone.
You’re tired of being the “good woman” and want relationships where you can be fully yourself.
You’ve carried the emotional weight for years and you’re ready to set it down.
You want connection that feels mutual and emotionally safe.
You’re moving through a relationship ending or a shifting.
You’re ready to unlearn the religious/Midwestern scripts about being nice, likable, and selfless.
Finding Your Way Back to Yourself
So many women arrive in my therapy room feeling disconnected from their own bodies, needs, and sense of self. As women we’ve been conditioned to care for everyone else, to stay small, to appear effortless. Beauty culture tells us to perfect ourselves. Productivity culture tells us to push harder. Every stage of womanhood has been sold to us as a problem (bleeding, birthing aging). The result? A generation of women who look composed on the outside but feel untethered inside.
My work is about helping you come home to yourself. Not the “better” or “improved” version the world keeps selling you but the real one that already exists beneath the pressures of life. This isn’t therapy that tells you to just try harder or think more positively. It’s calm, private, and deeply collaborative work that honors both your strength and your exhaustion.
It’s time to reclaim the parts of you that have been buried beneath expectation, responsibility, and the pace of everyday life.
Feminist & Systems-Informed Approach
Our work is grounded in a feminist worldview and a deep awareness of the systems we live within. Together, we’ll explore the cultural and relational scripts handed to women around care, achievement, and self-worth. We will also explore how those scripts may be shaping your relationships and sense of self.
What our work together might look like
Relational Cultural Therapy
This approach centers connection as the foundation of psychological growth. It challenges the notion that independence is the ultimate marker of health and instead honors mutuality, empathy, and relational resilience as key ingredients in thriving relationships.
Parenting and Family Issues
Parenting is inherently hard. In our work, we’ll explore ways to raise emotionally intelligent, resilient kids while also caring for yourself. Drawing from principles of conscious parenting, we’ll help you build a family culture grounded in respect, repair, and connection.
Challenging the Status Quo
So much of what we’ve been taught about being a woman centers on appearance, youth, and likability. In this space, we’ll name and challenge those messages while quieting the expectations that tell women their worth is tied to how they look or how likeable they are.
Stay-Go-Renegotiate
If you’re questioning your relationship and unsure what comes next, our work can help you find clarity and courage. Together, we’ll explore what’s working, what’s not, and what you most need moving forward, whether that means staying, separating, or redefining what partnership looks like for you.
Psychodynamic Work
We’ll explore early attachment patterns, internalized expectations, and the unconscious beliefs that shape how you see yourself and relate to others. Together, we’ll uncover where these patterns began so you can meet yourself with more compassion and more choice in how you move forward.
