Hello 👋

These are my two sons ❣️

Hello! Welcome to my Blog.

I love it when I first meet with someone. Maybe they have seen my “about me” page and seen me standing with my two teenaged sons towering over me, and we are all smiles. Maybe they even thought to themselves “ this chick really has this parenting thing down".

Let’s be real.

Sometimes I am completely crushing this mom thing… in between all the other shit that goes along with the journey ( the “mom fails”, the doubt, the overwhelm) and it will be the same for you too ❤️

I love that moment. The moment when a client who has come to therapy because the anxiety is just taking over everything, the overwhelm is SO powerful that she wonders how she is going to keep doing it all, {is it ever going to feel good?}… and then she sees it. Sees that mom-ing is not a straight path of joy and tenderness {despite what the insta moms want you to think}… but a series of ALL THE THINGS and ALL THE FEELS.

The moment when she realizes that it may be unicorns and rainbows one day, and a complete disaster the next. She begins to figure out what to do and how to get un-stuck.

My hope…

I hope to create a safe space within my therapy practice, and now within these pages, to BE REAL about the journey. All the amazing parts and sometimes not-so amazing parts.

Real Stuff, No fluff.

Within these pages I hope you’ll find inspiration, reassurance, and real actionable ways to feel more empowered and confident on your path.

What are you looking forward to reading about?
