You don’t have to keep white knuckling through motherhood.
A free 20 minute consult is the first step. No pressure, no commitment, just a real conversation about whether this feels like the right fit for you.
There's nothing wrong with you. There's something unfinished in your nervous system that needs addressing and thats exactly what we work on here.
Motherhood can feel like a roller coaster that never ends. One minute you are all snuggles and the next minute you are about to flip a table because your child spilled the dinner plate (again).
And the worst part about this is you can see yourself reacting but you can't stop it.
Maybe you've done therapy and talk therapy helped a little. You learned some things about yourself. But you never got to the actual root of it and now you have a baby on your hip and a preschooler mid meltdown and you have officially hit your " WTF, something has to change" moment.
Here's what I want you to know: that moment is not a breakdown. It's a breakthrough waiting to happen. It means the most protective parts of you are finally ready to let something real in.
And that's exactly what we work on here.
You are snapping, shutting down, or crying in the car and then feeling guilty about all of it.
Your anxiety is loud and constant and makes it really hard to be present.
You see the way you were parented showing up in the way you're parenting and it terrifies you.
You're cycle feels off, your mood is unpredictable, and nobody warned you that your hormones might start shifting in your 30's.
You've done therapy before and made some progress but you never quite got to the root of it.
You're smart enough to know that something needs to change and done enough to finally do something about it.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and perinatal mental health specialist based in San Jose, California. I work with millennial moms who are burned out, anxious, and quietly scared that the way they were parented is now showing up in how they parent their own kids.
After experiencing PPD and PPA myself after the births of both of my children, I experienced first hand what crappy therapy could feel like as a mom who is short on time and energy. And then after working in the L&D unit of Lucile Packard Childrens Hopsital at Stanford and witnessing the pain of hundreds of mothers who were given handouts on "managing stress" - I had enough. Mothers need real, in the weeds, get-to-the-bottom-of-it therapy. We need to be held, allowed to shake and scream, and then get back up and feel ready for school pick up. And we certainly don't have time to be in therapy for years.
My approach is not talk therapy as usual. Almost everything I do is rooted in somatic healing and trauma processing because I genuinely believe real change doesn't happen through conversation alone. It happens when we help your brain and body actually shift out of the patterns that are keeping you stuck.
That might look like walking a nature trail together in the Santa Cruz mountains, journeying with ketamine in the comfort and safety of your own home, or using rapid eye movements to help your brain rewrite a painful memory, sometimes all in the same week.
I also support moms who are noticing hormonal shifts, mood changes, irregular cycles, and new anxiety that are quietly layering onto an already very full plate.
My clients often tell me this is the first time therapy has actually felt like it's working and are shocked at how quickly it can work. Many of them came to me having already tried everything else.
If that's you, I'm really glad you found this page. Let's do this.
