Therapy for High-Achieving Women
You’ve built a life that looks successful from the outside—but inside, it can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and unsustainable.
You’re used to handling everything: your career, your responsibilities, your relationships, your family.
But the pressure to keep performing and holding it all together can lead to anxiety, burn out, and a feeling disconnected from your true self.
I’ve been there. You don’t have to keep doing this alone— I know, I’ve got you.
Many professional women struggle with:
Constant pressure to perform
Perfectionism
Fear of failure
Anxiety
Difficulty relaxing
Feeling unsuccessful despite outward success
Therapy for Working Moms
Balancing a career and motherhood can feel like managing two full-time lives at once.
You might find yourself:
- Feeling guilty no matter where your attention is
- Carrying the invisible mental load of your household
- Running on exhaustion with little time to recharge
- Questioning if you’re doing “enough” at work or at home
- Losing touch with who you are outside of your roles
If you’re a working mom, the weight you’re carrying is real—and it’s heavy.
Therapy can help you step out of survival mode and into a more sustainable, supported way of living—where your needs matter too.
Therapy for Infertility, Fertility Stress & Women’s Mental Health
Struggling with infertility or fertility challenges can feel isolating, overwhelming, and emotionally exhausting—especially when you’re used to being someone who “handles things.”
You might be experiencing:
- Grief, loss, or uncertainty around fertility
- Anxiety during trying-to-conceive or treatment cycles
- Emotional highs and lows each month
- Difficulty seeing others’ pregnancies or milestones
- Feeling like your body is failing you
- Strain in your relationship or sense of identity
Therapy provides a space to process, cope, and find steadiness during an incredibly tender and complex experience. My own challenging road towards pregnancy, processing failed pregnancies, make infertility therapy an essential service to offer.

How do I know if you are the therapist for me?
Therapy with me is direct, result driven, but includes deeper processing and psychoeducation. If you are a woman who struggles with any of the above— I have had these experiences myself, but am able to put them on the back burner (as a result of my own therapy), to best support you! Many of my female clients would say I keep a great sense of humor, which allows us to build a wonderful therapeutic relationship.

You’ve spent so long showing up for everything and everyone else. Therapy is a place where you finally get to show up for yourself.

Online therapy allows me to meet with moms while they are nursing, busy professionals on lunch break, and students between classes. No more excuses! 🙂
