guiding women out of guilt, overwhelm, and silent resentment
As a clinical psychologist, mindfulness teacher, and mom of three, I’ve lived the emotional highs and lows of motherhood right alongside the women I support. I know what it feels like to carry guilt, overwhelm, and quiet resentment while still loving your kids with everything you have. My upcoming book, Unburdening Motherhood (coming in January), is the roadmap I wish I had years ago—a compassionate guide to releasing the impossible expectations we place on ourselves and returning to a more grounded, gentler version of who we are. Through my work, my writing, and my own lived experience, I’m here to help you find more ease, clarity, and self-compassion in the parts of motherhood no one talks about.

Trust me, nothing is wrong with you.
I’m here to tell you why you feel this way sometimes and what you can do to make motherhood a journey of growth, meaningful connection, and profound transformation - instead of white-knuckling through till they go off to college!
There is a pathway out of frustration, hopelessness, and self-doubt.
Matrescence
If you're a mom - you are in matrescence.
Learning about matrescence is life-changing.
Becoming a mother propels a woman into a complex, nuanced, and often unnamed process that resonates through her life.
Coined in the 70’s by anthropologist Dana Raphael, just like adolescence, matrescence is a process of becoming - It is a transformation of identity that shapes every dimension of a woman’s life.
Every mom needs to know this!
