Therapy for Moms in New Jersey & New York City

“Motherhood brings as much joy as ever, but it still brings boredom, exhaustion, and sorrow too. Nothing else ever will make you as happy or as sad, as proud or as tired, for nothing is quite as hard as helping a person develop their own individuality.” – Marguerite Kelly

​

You can love your children deeply, but still feel:

  • Inundated by the constant mental load and stretched too thin

  • Like every other mom has it figured out and you're behind

  • Unsupported by your partner or close family

  • Mixed feelings or regret about becoming a mom

  • More anxious, irritable, or reactive than you want to be

  • Disconnected from who you are outside of being a mom

  • Irritable, touched out and emotionally exhausted

  • Guilty about setting boundaries

​​

These patterns are common, especially for high achieving women

who are used to holding everything together.

​

Why this feels so hard

Motherhood often brings up more than just the day-to-day demands.

​

It can surface:

  • Old patterns around responsibility, perfectionism, or people-pleasing

  • Expectations about who you “should” be

  • Questions about identity, relationships, and balance

  • The pressure to do it all—and do it well

​

Therapy helps you make sense of these layers, not just manage the surface stress.

What We Work On

Therapy is a space where you don’t have to take care of anyone else.

​​

Together, we might focus on:

  • Managing anxiety and emotional overwhelm

  • Reducing burnout and creating more sustainable balance

  • Setting boundaries and improving communication

  • Reconnecting with who you are outside of motherhood

  • Understanding how your past experiences are shaping your current patterns

​

My approach is both practical and insight-oriented, helping you feel better in the moment while also creating deeper, lasting change.​​​​
