My Approach to Therapy

Fit is everything! Before we dive into my approach, let's talk about the real key to effective therapy: finding the right fit. While you might like my style on paper, how we connect in person is what truly matters. I encourage you to reach out, get to know me, and see if we click. If I'm not the right match, that's okay - what's important is that you find the best therapist for you. Your journey to becoming a more grounded, authentic version of yourself starts with finding the right therapeutic partner, so let's see if that could be me.

A Holistic Approach to Motherhood Therapy

Motherhood brings unique challenges, and my goal is to support you through them with compassion and care. My approach is client-centered, values-driven, and self-driven. This means we’ll work together to align with what matters most to you while empowering you to take an active role in your personal growth. By focusing on the connection between mind, body, and soul, I aim to help you feel grounded, whole, and ready to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence

Take a Deeper Dive Into My Approach

  • Motherhood isn’t something to be 'fixed' or medicalized—it’s a transformative journey that shapes not only you but your family. My mission is to help you reconnect with yourself in motherhood, offering support to navigate challenges with confidence, clarity, and balance. By helping you feel whole and grounded, we create stronger bonds with your children and a more connected, thriving family dynamic.

  • At the heart of my practice is the belief that you are the expert on yourself, and empowerment is essential to our work together. I aim to create a safe, supportive environment where you can uncover your strengths, explore new perspectives, and develop the skills to overcome obstacles. A strong therapeutic relationship is vital—if you don’t feel connected, therapy won’t be effective. Through self-discovery, I hope to help you build confidence and resilience, guiding you toward a life that feels more aligned with who you are.

  • Motherhood doesn’t have to feel like a crisis. While I work with many moms already navigating anxiety, people-pleasing, or identity struggles, I’m also passionate about helping women before these challenges arise. For women planning to grow their families, therapy can be an invaluable tool for reflection and preparation. Together, we explore what motherhood means to you, examine any expectations or baggage you might be carrying, and find ways to set a foundation for a grounded and intentional journey into motherhood. It’s a chance to prepare for what’s ahead with clarity and confidence—because you deserve to feel ready for this next chapter.

  • When your mind, body, and soul are in sync, you feel more grounded and at ease. My holistic approach incorporates somatic and mindfulness practices to help you connect with your body’s inner wisdom. We’ll take time to notice physical sensations, breathe deeply, and listen to what your body is trying to tell you. This process helps you build awareness, reduce stress, and foster a sense of balance as you navigate motherhood. Together, we’ll nurture all parts of you—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

  • No two motherhood journeys are the same, and therapy should reflect that. I tailor my approach to your unique needs, preferences, and goals, blending techniques like ACT, IFS, somatic practices, and strengths-based therapy. Whether you’re managing anxiety, rediscovering yourself, or navigating the complexities of modern motherhood, I’ll be here with compassion and curiosity, helping you every step of the way.

  • Life as a mom is busy—I get it. That’s why I offer flexible options to make therapy work for you. Choose from in-person sessions in Carlsbad or San Marcos, CA, virtual therapy from the comfort of your CA home, one-on-one support, or group settings where you can connect with other moms. No matter what format fits your life best, I provide a safe, welcoming space where you can show up for yourself.
