Specializing in Anxiety & OCD, Motherhood, and the Perinatal Experience
You’re exhausted from carrying everyone’s needs, every responsibility, and every “what if” on your shoulders. From the outside, you seem capable and like you have it all together. But inside, you're anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck in a constant cycle of overthinking. The to-do list never seems to end and neither does the pressure you put on yourself. No matter how much you accomplish or how hard you try, there’s a persistent feeling that it still isn’t enough.
Maybe you’re someone who…
-feels trapped in the endless hamster wheel of anxiety and worry
-recently had a baby and are finding motherhood harder than expected
-is in the trenches parenting little ones and trying to show up as the parent you want to be
-feels on the brink of burnout from always being the strong one or needing things “just right”
You're juggling a lot, and slowing down can feel impossible—as if everything would fall apart if you let up for a moment.
But you don’t need to keep running on empty to be successful, loved, or enough.
The habits that helped you get through life so far—anticipating every possible problem, staying busy, putting everyone else's needs first, and holding yourself to incredibly high standards—may have helped you feel safe or in control. But they don't have to define where you go next.
We believe there is another way. What if you could loosen the grip of anxiety, guilt, and unwritten expectations?
Using evidence-based therapy grounded in genuine human connection, we can help you understand what keeps you stuck and step out of old patterns through curiosity, compassion, and change. The goal isn't to become better at pushing through. It's to create more space for what matters most so you can:
• trust yourself more
• feel calmer in uncertainty
• enjoy motherhood rather than constantly analyzing it
• rest without being consumed by guilt
• feel confident instead of always second-guessing yourself
If this resonated, you’re in the right place. We’re ready to take that next step with you.
We Work With:
The Overthinkers
Your mind rarely gives you a break. You replay conversations and anticipate the “worst case scenario” in every situation.
Even when things are okay, your body may feel like it’s still bracing for the next thing. You want to relax, be present, and trust yourself—but your brain doesn’t seem to know how to turn off.
The Default Caretakers
You’re the one who remembers the details, solves the problems, keeps things moving, and carries the invisible mental load. Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or simply the person everyone relies on, it may feel like you’re “always the supporter, rarely the supported.”
Asking for help can feel uncomfortable, or even impossible. Somewhere along the way, taking care of everyone else became easier than making room for yourself.
