Trauma-Informed counseling for women in pennsylvania
I help women who are navigating parenting, their career, and their relationships find themselves again and find balance in their lives without shame or judgment.
My clients struggle just like you. Despite reading all of the parenting books and pouring over the social media parenting accountsβ¦despite going above and beyond and putting in the extra hours at work β¦despite making countless attempts to maintain a connection with your partnerβ¦
Life. Is. HARD.
Motherhood is even harder.
When my clients are first seen for therapy, they are feeling overwhelmed by the demands and responsibilities that life is throwing at them. Between balancing what it takes to be a good parent, employee, and partner, it feels like too much.
They are feeling exhausted because thereβs never enough time in the day to get all of the basic tasks completed, so when it comes to prioritizing time for themselves and their own needs, itβs nearly non-existent.
They are feeling like slowing down is impossible.
motherhood is overwhelming.
They are feeling like nothing that they do is ever quite good enough. Like they arenβt quite adulting like everyone else is. Like they arenβt quite doing what Instagram says they should be doing at this point in their life.
Their feelings of being incapable of managing everything that life is throwing at them with grace is getting in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They feel like theyβre failing, and their confidence in their ability to balance it all is crumbling.
Before they came to see me, they felt ashamed for needing support and wanting more balance in their lives. They were pretty certain that they just werenβt trying hard enough. They were pretty certain that that if they just put more effort in they could have it all. They were convinced that they didnβt deserve to have any needs of their own, let alone get them to get them met.
They were drowning in shame and guilt.
You deserve to honor your own needs and enjoy your life both in and outside of motherhood.

Finding the right therapist is so important. It can feel like a daunting task, especially if therapy is new to you or if youβve had some not so great past experiences with therapists. You deserve to find a therapist who meshes well with your personality and can support you where you are at.
Youβre allowed to be picky. Youβre allowed to interview multiple therapists before settling on a final decision. Youβre also allowed to change your mind and/or ask for specific support from your therapist if youβre not getting it from them.

Come as you are! This is a judgment-free zone. I welcome any and all versions of you to show up in sessions, and yes, even the messiest parts of you are welcome here.
If you have specific goals in mind or desires out of therapy, of course you are welcome to come to me with that info. However, if youβre needing support and really just donβt know where to start, I will prompt you by asking questions that will help to identify what you really want to get out of therapy.
There is no βrightβ or βperfectβ way to do therapy, and every client-therapist relationship is unique, so we will work together to figure out how to help you get the most out of your therapy sessions.
