ABOUT ME
You Deserve to Feel Like Yourself Again.
Virtual therapy for women, working moms & busy professionals across Texas.
Becoming a mother doesn't always feel like the movies. If you're struggling with anxiety, sadness, rage, disconnection, or just a bone-deep feeling that something is off, you are not a bad mom.
You are a human who needs support.
Postpartum challenges don't end at 6 weeks, and they don't always look like crying. I'm here to help you navigate the full picture of maternal mental health, wherever you are in your journey. I love mothers so much I created a postpartum e-guide called The 4th-Trimester & Beyond, designed for women and men to support each other, learn tools, and how to thrive in this season of life.

For the Woman Who's Holding It All Together — Barely
You wake up exhausted before the day even starts. You're the one everyone leans on — at work, at home, in
the carpool line — and somewhere along the way, you stopped asking yourself: Am I okay?
​
You've Googled "why am I so tired all the time." You've cried in your car more times than you'd like to admit. You keep telling yourself you'll slow down after this week, this project, this season, but the next thing always comes.
​
You don't need to be in crisis to deserve support. You need a space that's finally, fully yours.
That's what therapy with me looks like.
