We work with you through all of the transitions in your lfie.

From the moment a woman decides she is ready to conceive, throughout her fertility and pregnancy journey, as she navigates her postpartum experience, and as she integrates her role as mother into her multifaceted identity in the first several years of motherhood, we are here to help.

There is no greater catalyst than the transition into motherhood for a woman to re-examine who she is, what are values and priorities are in this moment, and how to integrate all of these meaningful "parts" into her evolving sense of self. Whether you’re grappling with feelings of ambivalence, worry, loneliness or depletion, or you’re experiencing a Perinatal Mood or Anxiety Disorder (PMAD), we understand women at this phase of life.

We empower each woman with information about the neurobiological changes she is experiencing in the peripartum period, and we integrate this knowledge with actionable strategies so that you can experience more presence and connection not only in motherhood, but in all parts of your connection with yourself and others.

Pre-conception planning
Infertility
Miscarriage
Stillbirth
NICU
Pregnancy
Normative stress, anxiety, and roles transitions in the postpartum period
PMADs
Career / home life adjustments and integration

We support women through:

Do you tend to feel on edge, as if there’s tension in your body or your mind is racing? Perhaps to others you appear to be organized and "have it all together," but on the inside, you feel preoccupied with worry thoughts. You may recognize that you’re feeling anxious, but you likely desire the tools to both understand and manage it.

We recognize that women have a unique experience of anxiety, which is often influenced by biological and hormonal changes at different life phases. Whether you’ve long known yourself to be an “anxious person,” or your distress is more recent in the context of a major life transition, we’re here to help.

Adjustment disorders
Generalized anxiety disorder
Obsessive compulsive disorder
Panic attacks
Perfectionism

We support women navigating the following types of anxiety:

Are you eager to cultivate a healthy romantic relationship, but find yourself attracting people who don’t allow you to feel like yourself? Are you preoccupied with being “good enough” to the extent it prevents you from dating or engaging in relationships? Are you grieving the loss of a relationship and find yourself feeling overwhelmed by pain?

Perhaps you’re in a relationship, but you have a hard time expressing how you feel or asserting what you need from your partner. Or, perhaps you are preparing for marriage or parenthood and are eager to better understand and articulate your values and expectations for your partnership.

Our intention is to help you understand your relationship history and practice ways to mindfully access and process your feelings. We then apply this self-understanding to the practice of actionable strategies to help you identify and express your needs, resolve impasse and conflict, and experience greater overall connection and fulfillment in your relationships.

Navigating dating dynamics in a digital world
Navigating ambivalence regarding how to move forward in a relationship
Asserting oneself and cultivating healthy boundaries
Preparing for marriage and parenthood
Grief following the loss of a significant relationship

We help women navigate the following relationship concerns:

Are you navigating a career transition, or eager for a promotion but feel held back by self-doubt or a fear of asserting yourself? Are you struggling to integrate the ambition of your career with your desire to lean into the slower pace of presence in motherhood? Or, perhaps you want to take a pause from the workforce, without giving up your creativity or ambition?

We work with women who are embedded in this ever-evolving process of navigating how to relate to their work lives in a way that aligns with their purpose and values at this moment. Our goal is to help you better understand your multifaceted interests, values and ambitions, and to identify a path forward that aligns your career-related decisions with your other identities and priorities in this season of your life.

Exploring your career-related interests and strengths
Communication and assertiveness in the workplace
Boundaries in the world of remote/flex work
Navigating career and motherhood
Holding onto your creativity and ambition during a career pause
Re-entering the workforce following a career pause for motherhood

We help women navigate the following career-related concerns:

We all know the modernized myth of perfection: a driven career woman who seemingly does not sacrifice balance, relationships or family life to achieve her ambition. Yet in reality, this unrealistic ideal of “perfection” has likely left you with a nagging feeling that you should always be “doing more,” and in turn, you may feel depleted, isolated, or highly anxious.

And motherhood often ups the ante. Now, the pull to lean into motherhood competes with the push to protect your identity and ambition outside of the home. Consequently, your old coping strategies of procrastination, overworking or repeatedly checking your work to avoid making a mistake may be further triggering your insomnia, anxiety, or depression.

You don’t need to spread yourself thin in order to be doing your best. In our practice, we work with you to construct a meaningful conceptualization of your unique experience of perfectionism and to develop your own narrative about the meaning of “success.” With this insight, we will teach you actionable strategies to pursue and achieve your goals in ways that allow for more authentic meaning and fulfillment in this season of your life.

Parenting Support

WE OFFER HIGHLY-SPEICALIZED, SHORT AND LONG TERM SUPPORT FOR PARENTS.

The transition into parenthood is hard. And when you’re starting a family, maintaining a healthy relationship carries with it unique challenges. In parent consultation sessions, we support parents in how to approach the range of struggles that couples move through in early parenthood: from reconciling each parent’s role in the home to sharing the metal load to understanding your parenting styles. We provide actionable strategies on how to communicate and remain connected with your partner during this phase of your life together.

Protecting your connection with your partner after baby arrives
Understanding child development and age-appropriate expectations
Navigating clashing parenting styles
Managing the "mental load" and "executive labor" of co-parenting

We offer support around:

There are so many tricky moments in the life of a young family when parents benefit from highly specialized support. We join with parents during moments of transition in their family, or during those phases wherein it feels like all the strategies they’ve been practicing just aren’t helping their child. We help parents develop tools and language for setting limits and boundaries with their children, while simultaneously prioritizing their ability to remain connected to their children during even the most difficult moments.

Supporting sibling relationships
Navigating transitions (such as leaving for school or bedtime)
Tantrums and emotional regulation
Limit setting and discipline that protects your connection to your child

We offer support around:

Every child’s brain works differently, and with the proper therapeutic supports in place, each child has the innate capacity to thrive. While parenting a child with Autism or a developmental disability can accentuate your unique strengths as parents, supporting your child’s evolving developmental needs can be complex and overwhelming. Whether you’re processing your child’s recent diagnosis, or feeling uncertain about how to support your neurodiverse child through a developmental transition, we are here to help.

We join with each family to better understand your current needs for support and formulate an individualized plan for your care. While many parents benefit from ongoing therapeutic support interwoven with practical supportive services, we also offer consultation services based on each family’s unique needs.

Diagnostic reviews and education
Individualized support planning and connection with referrals and school options
School visits and review
Collaboration with a multidisciplinary support team

Our process can include:

Couples Therapy

WE HELP TO STRENGTHEN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS.

Couples Therapy for Parents

All couples have moments of struggle, and sometimes more clinical support is needed to optimize your relationship. Perhaps you and your partner are navigating the transition into parenthood, or perhaps you are reconciling how to remain connected to one another while caring for your children, managing your work lives, and metabolizing the day-to-day stresses of keeping everything afloat. Other times in couples, one or both partners are struggling with their own mental health concerns, such as perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMAD), anxiety, depression, or trauma.

Whatever your unique dynamic and needs are as a couple, we are here to help. Our approach to couples therapy is informed by evidence-based practices that will help you and your partner reconnect and reestablish a foundation from which to move forward as attuned partners for one another and within your broader family system.

The transition into parenthood
Patterns of unhelpful communication
Parenting a child with Autism or special needs
Integrating differing parenting styles
Developing a system to rebalance the work in your home with your partner

Executive Functioning Skills Coaching

Adult Women

We understand the unique experience of overwhelm felt by women navigating multifaceted identities and demanding life roles. Our approach is informed by a unique understanding of how the hormonal, biological and relational experiences unique to women influence their executive functioning.

You may find that despite your energy and creativity, you move through your daily life in motherhood or career with a chronic sense of overwhelm. Despite your best efforts, you may have difficulty organizing and completing tasks, often leaving you feeling sidetracked. Additionally, you may experience forgetfulness, trouble focusing, or procrastination. Plus, we recognize the biological and hormonal changes unique to your womanhood directly impact your executive functioning.

Executive Functioning Skills Coaching can help you to feel present, productive and in control of your life.

Time awareness and scheduling
How to make tasks manageable and rewarding, plus Task Prioritization
Overcoming procrastination and other emotional barriers

Impulse control
Frustration tolerance

We specialize in supporting women with:

We understand the unique academic and social pressures experienced by girls as they transition from their girlhood into the adolescent and emerging adult years. It is often during this time that parents and teachers begin to identify and grow curious about potential underlying executive functioning challenges among this population.

As a parent, you may recognize that despite your daughter’s intelligence and curiosity, she often feels overwhelmed, becomes sidetracked, or struggles to complete tasks at home or in the classroom. We recognize that executive functioning concerns among girls, as opposed to boys, are unique because of the biological, hormonal, and social changes in this phase of their development. Untreated, these symptoms can leave girls vulnerable to developing anxiety, depression and other mood concerns.

We can help her improve her productivity and better meet the demands of your busy school and home life, plus support in cultivating essential life skills such as planning, organization and time management.
