IN-PERSON & ONLINE ACROSS TX
Therapy for Moms in North Dallas / Plano, TX
For moms who are tired of being the one mentally tracking, anticipating, remembering, and keeping tabs on everything for everyone.
You love being a mom. And also… this is really hard.
Some or even most days feel like one endless loop of getting the kids up, fed, dressed, out the door, home again, through homework, dinner, bath, and bedtime…on top of everything else required of you as an adult human.
You keep getting it all done, but you feel yourself getting more frustrated and short-tempered as the day goes on. There’s barely time to sit down, let alone be there for all those little moments everyone keeps telling you to savor.
Why does asking for help feel harder than doing it yourself? Why does wanting something for yourself feel like taking something away from your kids? And whose guilt are you carrying anyway?
Motherhood doesn’t look the same for everyone. Neither does the overwhelm.
The working mom
You spend the workday trying to be fully present at your job while half your brain is tracking pickup, permissions slips, and whether anyone has clean pants. By the time you get home, everyone gets whatever is left of you.
The stay-at-home mom
You’re with your kids all day and somehow still feel guilty that you’re not enjoying them enough. You’re touched out by 9 a.m., and there’s no commute, lunch break, or real end to your workday.
The single mom
There’s no tapping someone else in when you’re done. The decisions, logistics, appointments, sick days, bedtime battles, and 2 a.m. worries all eventually make their way back to you.
The new mom
Your entire day revolves around someone who can’t tell time. You’re exhausted, making 700 tiny decisions a day, and trying to adjust to a version of your life—and yourself—that still feels very new.
The mom with a supportive partner
Your partner genuinely helps, but somehow you’re still the one noticing what needs to happen, remembering it, asking for it, and keeping the master list in your head.
The mom who’s also lost herself a little
You know what your kids like, need, eat, wear, watch, and have going on this week. Ask what you like doing with a free afternoon and…you’re honestly not sure anymore.
MY APPROACH
01 First, we look at what you’re carrying.
This isn’t a parenting class, and I’m not here to tell you how to get your toddler to put on their shoes. We’ll talk through what your days actually look like—from wake-up to lights out—and where you’re hitting your limit.
That includes the stuff no one sees: the mental tracking, anticipating everyone’s needs, remembering what everyone else forgot, and the low-grade vigilance running in the background all day. Once we can actually see the load, we can start figuring out what doesn’t need to stay on your shoulders.
02 We find ways to help before you’re already at your breaking point.
This isn’t going to be a 45-minute self-care routine you have absolutely no time for. Instead, we’ll build tools you can use in real time, like when you’re about to lose your shit in the preschool pickup line. The goal is to recognize your own signals sooner, so you have more room to respond instead of react and know how to repair when the hard moments happen anyway.
03 Then, we unpack all the shit you think a “good mom” is supposed to do.
We’ll work on asking for support, setting some of the load down, and making space for what you want and need without turning it into evidence that you’re doing motherhood wrong.
You can love your kids without losing yourself in the process.
Therapy can help moms…
-
Everyone has a breaking point, and sometimes you find yours in the middle of your toddler’s temper tantrum. We’ll work on noticing your warning signs sooner, responding instead of reacting, and repairing quickly when the hard moments happen anyway.
-
There’s a difference between getting help and still being the person who has to notice, remember, assign, and follow up on everything. We’ll work on loosening your grip on control and getting more of the mental load out of your head—not just more hands on your to-do list.
-
You were a whole person before becoming a mom—someone with wants, needs, dreams, goals, hobbies, and habits. She might feel a little far away right now, but she’s still in there. Therapy can help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have gotten crowded out and even find new parts of yourself.
-
Not every parenting decision needs to be researched, second-guessed, or compared to what another mom is doing. We’ll work on trusting your own experience and parenting from what matters to you instead of fear, guilt, or comparison.
-
When your brain isn’t constantly tracking what needs to happen next, there’s more room to notice what’s happening now. More connection. More breathing room. More moments with the people you love that you actually get to be part of.

FAQs
-
When you’re used to tracking what everyone else needs, choosing yourself can feel like you’re taking something away from them. That guilt doesn’t necessarily mean you’re doing something wrong—it may just mean you’re doing something you’re not used to doing.
Therapy can help you get curious about where that guilt comes from and learn to want something for yourself without immediately needing to justify it.
-
Motherhood asks for more than physical energy. You’re making decisions, anticipating needs, managing emotions, remembering details, and staying mentally available all day long. That kind of constant vigilance can leave you depleted even when, technically, you “got enough sleep.”
If you’re feeling touched out, checked out, irritable, or like you have nothing left to give, it may be a sign that your system has been running without enough room to recover.
-
We’re not going to pretend motherhood is just background context while we talk about everything else. We can look directly at the mental load, identity shifts, guilt, overstimulation, relationships, and pressure that come with being responsible for other humans all day.
And this isn’t parenting coaching. The focus is you—how you’re doing inside the life you’re managing and what you need to feel more like yourself in it.
-
No. You can love your kids fiercely and still resent how relentless motherhood can feel sometimes. Those things can exist at the same time.
Rather than judging the resentment, we can treat it as information. Maybe you’re stretched too thin, need more support, or have been ignoring your own limits for so long that resentment is the thing finally getting your attention.
-
When your day already feels packed every waking moment (and then some), adding one more thing can sound like the exact opposite of helpful.
That’s why I offer online therapy appointments, giving you more flexibility to fit sessions into your actual life without adding a commute, arranging a sitter, or losing extra time getting to and from an office. We can do it in the carpool line, while you do your hair for the day, or while you hide in the closet for some peace and quiet.
Therapy can be one hour that’s actually yours without requiring three more hours of logistics to make it happen.

My work focuses on women navigating anxiety, motherhood, relationships, boundaries, people-pleasing, and the pressure of trying to keep all the plates spinning without losing themselves in the process. I understand that supporting moms isn’t about giving you another parenting strategy—it’s about paying attention to the person underneath the mental load.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 4,000+ hours of clinical hours, six years in acute hospital mental health care, and nearly a decade in private practice, and I use a flexible mix of evidence-based and regulation-focused approaches rather than forcing every mom into the same therapy formula.
