If you're feeling like you're constantly juggling work, parenting, relationships, and the never-ending pressure of self-care, you're not alone.
As a therapist and an expecting mother to twins (yep, chaos level unlocked), I really get it. The weight of trying to balance it all - career goals, family needs, personal growth, and the ever-present reminder that we need to "take care of ourselves" - can feel overwhelming.
Through therapy, we’ll explore how to set healthy boundaries, reduce unnecessary burdens, and un-juggle the mess of life by shifting your focus from trying to control everything to committing to meaningful actions that align with your values. This approach helps create space for you to breathe, find balance, and feel more in control, even when life is a lot.
The truth is, we're all just doing our best to keep it together while life keeps piling on the demands. But here's the thing: you're allowed to feel overwhelmed, and you don’t have to do it all perfectly. Together, we’ll explore ways to lighten the load, set boundaries that actually stick, and find moments of peace in the chaos.

Depending on the outcome of my day- I might spend time catching up on my favorite crime dramas. Other days, I enjoy taking a warm bath. And of course, I cherish time spent walking my dog, allowing the outdoors to provide a refreshing break.
