everything feels harder now
This only started happening after you became a mom, and this doesn't feel like you.
You’ve always been the one who everything thinks 'how does she do it?' You know, the one who seems like she can handle anything thrown at her. You stay organized. You show up and show out. You get things done, and you're the one people rely on.
But now, it's so much more challenging to keep the plates spinning, and it feels like everything is on the verge of falling apart.
You’re overwhelmed, exhausted, and constantly trying to catch up. No matter how much you try to get back on top of things, it doesn’t seem to work the same way anymore.
And for someone like you, this feels very unsettling.
You’re often wondering:
“What is wrong with me?”
I work with women who are:
high-achieving and ambitious, who has built a life she's proud of — and is ready to actually feel good inside of it
a mother who loves her children deeply — and also refuses to disappear into motherhood at the expense of herself
a woman who knows something changed when she became a mom — and is done waiting for it to get better on its own
wanting more than coping strategies and surface-level fixes — you want real, lasting change in your body, your mind, and your life
expanding into a fuller version of herself — and wants her life, her health, and her relationships to reflect that
ready to stop surviving motherhood and start being a well woman inside of it — on your own terms
let's get started
Motherhood changes more than most people expect.
And for many women, especially women of color, the support available doesn’t fully meet what this transition actually requires.
I work with women of color in Texas who want to create a version of motherhood who makes room for who they are as a woman too.
My work takes a holistic, integrative approach—looking at your life as a whole, not just what you’re thinking or feeling.
We'll focus on what actually needs to change, so you can feel like yourself again and move through your life in a way that works for you in this season of motherhood.

There’s a reason this feels so hard, and it’s not because you’re doing something wrong.
What you’re experiencing isn’t just stress or something you can fix by trying harder.
Our society, medical systems, and support services, don't do the best job of guiding us through this transition into motherhood. So you keep doing what you've always done: pushing through, staying on top of things, trying to manage it all.
And over time, that’s what leads to feeling depleted, burned out, and like your health is falling apart.
What's missing isn't more effort, it's the right support.
Holistic therapy gives you a place to actually understand what happened to your body, your nervous system, and your sense of self when you became a mom and what this version of you, in this season of life, truly needs. We work from the root, not the surface, so the changes you make actually stick and your life starts to reflect the woman, and mother, you want to be.
There are two ways to work together, depending on the kind of support you need.
therapy options
Not sure which one’s best? That’s what our consultation call is for; we’ll figure it out together.
weekly therapy
A 1:1 weekly or bi-weekly format for when you want ongoing support.
week to week support
Best for moms who want weekly ongoing therapy sessions, not a one time session.
book a consult
This is for when you know you want support on a weekly basis and you don’t want to keep trying to figure it out on your own.
We work together over time so you’re not just understanding what’s happening, you’re actually changing how you move through your life with ongoing support.
This is where you can unpack what is coming up for you as they come up.
therapy intensives
A weekend private intensive for when you need real relief now, not weeks from now.
get results faster
Best for moms who need relief fast and want a reset + roadmap for a specific problem.
This is for when something feels off, overwhelming, or hard to make sense of and you don’t want to spend weeks slowly unpacking it.
Instead, we take the time to look at what’s actually going on in one focused, private session. You leave with clarity, direction, and a way forward.
This is accelerated support, not ongoing support.
