Therapy for Moms & Caregivers in North Carolina and Maryland

You’re a parent who is exhausted, overstimulated, and doing your best to hold it all together. Parenting and partnership feel heavier than you expected, and you’re not sure how much longer you can keep pushing through.

You may feel invisible in your own home or quietly resentful toward your partner. You care deeply, but the constant pressure, emotional labor, and expectations leave you snapping, shutting down, or doubting yourself.

If you’re deeply sensitive, you feel everything. Your family’s emotions, the state of the world, the weight of systems that were never built to support you. Carrying that level of awareness is exhausting.

You’re holding so much together—but inside, it’s starting to feel like too much.

I get it.

You don’t need another set of quick fixes. You need space to breathe, make sense of what you’re up against, and rebuild trust in yourself. You want depth, clarity, and support that helps you feel grounded, empowered, and more like yourself again.

As a therapist specializing in perinatal mental health and relationships, I support mothers, parents of all genders, and fellow therapists in navigating the emotional and relational challenges of caregiving, identity, and partnership. My work is grounded in attachment theory, trauma healing, and a feminist, anti-patriarchal lens, with a focus on helping you understand yourself more deeply, name the systems shaping your experience, and move forward with greater self-trust, clarity, and compassion.

I work with mothers and primary caregivers* who feel overwhelmed by the emotional and mental load of caregiving. Therapy offers space to process identity shifts, burnout, resentment, and chronic stress shaped by systems like patriarchy, capitalism, and the lack of structural support for families, while rebuilding self-trust and parenting in ways that feel aligned, sustainable, and grounded.

I support fathers, masculine-aligned, and non-binary parents who want to show up more intentionally in their relationships and caregiving roles. Our work often focuses on emotional awareness, communication, and unpacking gender expectations shaped by patriarchal norms, so you can parent and partner in ways that reflect your values rather than inherited roles.

I also work with therapists and helping professionals navigating burnout, compassion fatigue, and the pressures of productivity-driven systems. Therapy and consultation provide space to reflect, restore capacity, and build sustainable, values-aligned practices without losing yourself in the work.

Across my practice, I integrate EMDR, parts work, and attachment-based therapy to support trauma healing, nervous system regulation, and more connected relationships. My work is neurodiversity-affirming, and I bring lived experience with ADHD into the room to support insight, clarity, and trust.

This is a process, but there’s so much healing that can come from parenting your inner child parts. I invite you to think ahead of how you tend to get activated around particular family members and see if you can consider what might help. Her
