You’re Not Just Struggling - You’re Stuck in a Pattern That Isn’t Working
You may feel overwhelmed, reactive, disconnected, or not like yourself - and you’re not sure why. Whether you’re navigating relational stress, emotional burnout, or the transitions in life, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I help individuals, parents, and couples understand the emotional and behavioral patterns driving these experiences - so you can respond differently, not just cope.
This May Sound Familiar:
You might be noticing:
You feel emotionally overwhelmed or reactive, and you don’t know why.
You’re overthinking, shutting down, or stuck in cycles you can’t interrupt.
Your relationships feel strained, disconnected, or harder than they should.
You are lost in life or uncomfortable with ruminating thoughts, choices, and life’s decisions.
You experience the pressure to “hold it together,” but internally, it feels like too much.
You're grieving, losing, or struggling with a life transition or situation, and you want to break out of it.
How I Help:
My work focuses on helping you understand what’s happening beneath the surface - so your thoughts, emotions, and reactions start to make sense.
Together, we will:
Identify the patterns driving your emotional overwhelm
Understand your nervous system and stress responses
Build practical tools to regulate emotions in real time
Strengthen connections in your relationships
Create a cleaner, more grounded way forward
Most therapy focuses either on emotions or behavior.
My approach works with both - because the real change requires understanding what’s happening and how it shows up externally.
With a background in behavior analysis and mental health, I help you:
Understand how thoughts, emotions, and experiences influence reactions
Recognize patterns of the mind and body under stress
Identify how those patterns show up in behavior and relationships
Actively shift those patterns in a way that feels realistic
A Different Approach to Therapy
My integrative approach blends:
Clinical behavior analysis to understand patterns, reinforcement histories, routines, and emotional responding.
Perinatal mental health for pregnancy, postpartum, identity shifts, and PMADs.
Somatic & Sensory information for trauma, nervous system overwhelm, and neurodivergent experiences
Trauma-informed care grounded in compassion, clarity, and sustainable regulation.
You deserve support that understands the emotional weight you carry.
Get started with Mindful today.
Emotional, relational, and perinatal therapy for women and their partners navigating the challenges of life, pregnancy, the postpartum period, and the demands of caregiving.
You might feel emotionally overwhelmed, isolated, lacking boundaries, or stuck in patterns you can’t explain.
You or your partner may be tired of “old” behaviors and are seeking to break cycles that don’t serve you, your relationship, or your family.
I work with new moms, expecting parents, and expanding families who want therapy to move beyond talking—toward understanding what’s happening around them as well as inside them, so effort leads to clarity, direction, and relief.
FAQs
-
Perinatal therapy supports the emotional, relational, and nervous system changes that occur during pregnancy and postpartum. It addresses mood shifts, sensory overwhelm, identity transitions, partner stress, and caregiving strain. Therapy focuses on both emotional insight and practical regulation strategies.
-
Not necessarily. Pregnancy and postpartum often intensify stress, attachment triggers, and communication patterns. Individual therapy can help you understand your responses, regulate your nervous system, and shift relational dynamics without requiring both partners to attend sessions.
-
My work is behavior-based, attachment-focused, and nervous system–informed. In addition to exploring emotions, we identify behavioral patterns, regulate stress responses, and develop practical tools that support real-life relational and emotional change.
-
No. Many women seek therapy for emotional complexity, overwhelm, relational strain, or identity shifts that may not meet criteria for a formal diagnosis. Therapy can support these transitions even without a specific label.
-
My work centers on creating an emotionally safe, behaviorally structured space for healing.
Together, we examine:
the behaviors, feelings, and thoughts that are shaped by your past, and reinforced by your present
the emotional patterns formed within your nervous system
the identity you have formed, and shifts occurring in your life
the meaningful changes you want for yourself and your environment.
" To speak to someone who truly listens, who understands your heart without judgment - there is no greater gift. And for the first time, I feel as though I am not alone. Meeting you has been like hearing a song I’ve always known but never dared to sing. You have brought me back to life, if only for a moment, and that is enough.” -Dostoevsky
