You take care of everyone. Who takes care of you?

Postpartum anxiety and depression are real, and I work with moms navigating both. But the challenges of motherhood don't have an expiration date. The mom of a toddler who hasn't slept through the night in two years. The mom of a teenager who feels like she's losing her kid. The mom whose children are grown but who doesn't know who she is without the role.

You don't need a clinical diagnosis to deserve support. If you're running on fumes and something feels off, that's reason enough.

And if you're dealing with postpartum symptoms specifically, including intrusive thoughts, rage, numbness, or difficulty bonding, please know that this is treatable and more common than anyone talks about. You're not failing. Your brain is struggling, and it needs help. That's what I'm here for.

Is what I'm feeling just normal mom stress or something more?

Motherhood is genuinely hard, and some stress is expected. But if you're constantly overwhelmed, irritable with your kids in ways that don't feel like you, struggling to enjoy anything, or carrying a low hum of anxiety that never goes away, that's more than "just mom stuff." You don't have to hit a crisis point to deserve support. If it feels like too much, it is enough reason to reach out.

I'm not postpartum. Can I still get therapy for mom burnout?

Absolutely. Mom burnout, anxiety, and identity loss happen at every stage, from newborns to teenagers and beyond. You don't have to have a baby to be struggling. The mental load of motherhood is cumulative, and sometimes it catches up with you years in. There is no expiration date on when you're allowed to get help.

Will you judge me for how I feel about motherhood?

Never. This is a space where you can say the things you can't say anywhere else. That you're touched out. That you miss your old life. That some days you don't like being a mom. Those feelings are more common than you think, and having them does not make you a bad mother. It makes you a human being carrying an enormous amount.

How do I find time for therapy as a mom?

I offer telehealth across Wisconsin, South Carolina, Washington, and Delaware. That means you can do a session during nap time, from your car in a parking lot, or after bedtime. We work with your schedule, not against it. In-person sessions are also available at my Elm Grove office if you prefer that.

What does therapy for moms focus on?

Whatever you need it to. For some moms, it's managing anxiety and overwhelm. For others, it's working through guilt, resentment, or identity loss. Some come in because their relationship has shifted since becoming a parent. We start with what feels most pressing and build from there. This is your space, and we use it however serves you best.

Do you work with postpartum anxiety and depression?

Yes. Postpartum anxiety and depression are more common than most people realize, and they don't always look the way you'd expect. Sometimes it's intrusive thoughts. Sometimes it's rage. Sometimes it's numbness or a feeling of disconnect from your baby. If something feels off, trust that instinct. We can figure out what's going on together.
